    Does it only happen in WoW?

    Try going to System>>Advanced>>Startup & Recovery>>Settings and uncheck the box marked under System Failure labeled "Automatically Restart". If it happens again and you get a blue screen, write down the exact error and post it here. :)

    If you're not getting any Windows error message before it spontaneously reboots/shuts down, I would suspect either a PSU or memory problem.

    Since you feel confident in the PSU, start by running a few passes of Memtest-86.

    Let us know how it goes. :)

    It could also be a heat problem. That would fit it happening when playing something that uses alot of computer resources. Try taking the side panel off the computer and playing and see if that helps.
