windows 7
intel core i7-920 2.66ghz
3gb ddr3
ati radeon hd4850 512mb
1tb hd
psu fsp 450w
gateway fx 6800-01
After a year of having this cpu the hard drive failed and had to get a new one. then about a year and a half later it starts to mess up again. first it just shut off when i would load swtor then it would turn on for 3-7 secs and shut off again and repeat itself. so i tried all my memory sticks one by one and they all passed. then i took it to staples to have there easy tech dept to fix it and that was a fail. they told me it was my motherboard and then a day later said it was not my motherboard but my OS. so i just picked up my cpu refomatted my OS turned it on and all was good for a day. Then i turn it on the next day and here we go again it shuts off and reboots. so i let it rest because when i do that i can start it and have time to get to cmos or load windows for a few seconds.(before i did the reformat it would go to start up repair dont know if this is because of the reboots)in cmos i checked my temps all good. i was told my PSU should be replaced to a name brand and where it says +12v it should be no higher or lower by .5 which it is at 11.904v. also when i was in cmos my computer did shut off 2 times so i know its not my OS. thats what i read on another site to test it. so any input would be a great help before i throw this thing out the window. thankyou for your time.

take everything you can off it. such as only have one stick or ram, no video card no sound card etc. try booting it up if it works then start putting components back in. MOST likely its your powersupply. your components are dragging it down to the fail point and causing reboot.

If all your temperatures are fine than ya, it's more than likely your power supply. 2nd bet would be the motherboard.
