Computer just turned off.

I'm sitting at my desk, playing Ocarina of time, Minding my own business, when Click, off. (click being my hard drives turning off.) An instant powerdown. But. I turn the computer back ON, and my bios acts like it was just restarted. What the hell is going on..
Alright. More data. After replacing the power supply, it still does it. I didn't have it up for fifteen minutes total, and it just shut down. I went from a PSU outputting 11.4 on the 12V rail, to one that puts out 12.1-12.16. I had a similar problem with my Powercolor X1600 before it went out, but the bios didn't react the same. Am I losing my board? Without the video card, I'm getting the same problem on my intergrated video. Someone PLEASE help me.
EDIT:// Um. This was solved some time ago. I thought I posted the solution. But the problem was I lost a memory port on my board. Shorted out and that.

If it's failing in safe mode then there's a good chance it's hardware. Remove your hard drives and power and see how long it'll idle before rebooting. Then keep trying to issolate the problem. Failing heatsinc on a CPU could be causing it to overheat also a failing cpu will do this. Bad ram is another possibility.
EDIT:// Also, My video card was idling at 61C. Now, it idles at 50. Thank you powercolor for the defective card, but POWERFUL heatsink.
