Xp totally shuts down

I am using xp home edition and have done a search and all and cannot find anything to solve my problem.
Most of the time this happenes while playing a game but also every now and then does it while searching the internet.
My hard drive just shuts down totally, it does not reboot or anything I have to re-hit power button, it is really starting to bug me.
Some body please help, if u need more info I can give more just let me know what u need and where to look for it.

Hello AussieJackal,

One likely possibility is that it may be a power supply problem, either not enough power or gone bad.

Download/install Everest Home Edition (free) http://www.lavalys.com/products.php?lang=en for your system hardware info, especially the PSU - power supply specs.
