When I started a game my computer shutdown and would not come back on. I had to toggle the switch on the back of my PSU for it restart. It shutdown again while Windows was loading. This is now reoccuring and cannot boot into Windows to do trouble shooting. I believe it may be a PSU related issue. Does this sound right?

System Specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 965BE (125 watt)
8 GB OCZ AMD Black Edition 1600 RAM
2x XFX Radeon 6850 Black Edition
Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB
OCZ GameXStream 850 Watt PSU
NZXT Phantom Case with fan controller and all fans
Blue Ray Drive and DVD Drive
Front Panel LCD Display

Its still under warranty. It has a three year warranty and its only a year old. I am going to RMA it but have ordered a Cool Master Silent Pro 1000 watt as a replacement. I use this PC for both work as an engineer and for my graduate classes so I can't really wait on a lengthly RMA process.
