Today I confirmed my suspicions that I need to do an upgrade to my PSU.
A few days ago while playing Fallout 3 my computer froze abruptly, "okay... no problem" I thought to myself as I went to hit the reset button thinking that it was a bug due to F3's lousy PC port job.

Time passes and I try again only to run into the same problem, since it was getting close to midnight I decided to sleep on it and try again later the next day.)
Next morning I successfully booted into XP only to hear my video card's gpu fan go beserk, I check the system monitors and it was running at 66
