At the begining of last year I had a custom pc built. Everything was going fine until I installed Gigabyte face wizard which broke my mb ( GA P55 UD3) altogether. So since then I bought a GA P55A UD3 and had a guy at a pc store install it. Although now I am often getting random shutdowns when I am either using high stress things e.g. loading large or many files from my hdd or using things that rely mainly on my video card e.g. streaming a divx movie or playing a flash game.
Here are my specs:

I have already testing things such as my hdd that I have totaly swapped for another with no avail.
I have tested removing all my perifials including my disk drive, mem card reader and front panel ports, this had no effect.
I have tried using a different pci port for my gfx card, no effect.
*One thing that I have tested which would indicate that the problem is with my psu is that when I use my ATI 5870 rather than my nvidia card my pc seems to crash a lot more, especially during games e.g. crysis on max settings. The ATI card also requires a lot more power, using two 6pin pci-e power connectors.
Another thing that might be important, lately my pc has been occasionly beeping once every now and again. It is a short beep and nothing in HWmonitor indicates it has anthing to do with temperature, possibly voltage though.
Thanks for any help.
