I recently formatted my hard drive, but when I try to install windows xp my computer will automatically turn itself off with no warning. I know this sounds like a power supply issue, but my power supply is 650 watts and not even 2 months old. I took out my gtx 285 graphics card, which hogs a lot of power, but the same thing still happens. I know it's not the hard drive either because my computer did the same thing with another hard drive. All my fans are working fine and nothing is overheating. Here are links to my power supply, graphics card, cpu, and motherboard.

Compare the voltage levels in the BIOS under "hardware monitor" to see if it matches or is close to what it suppose to be. Also what kind of temperatures are you getting from the BIOS for the CPU ?
