Pretty Sure Here

OK not exactly sure if this is where this post should be but any way i have this computer i built for a friend and when i use it, it just seems to want to spontaniously restart but i cant see why it is doing it. I at first thought that it would be the psu but i just bought a new one which is 450 watts and it is an Okia or somthing a cheap off brand but idk it works for a while but when i minimize world of warcraft or try to switch characters it just shuts down.... any ideas?

It sounds a lot like the powersupply. That thing is a piece of crap. What are the specs of the system? Which video card are you using. The only other things that I can see is a bad installation or overheating problems.
