I have recently installed Fallout 3, The game runs fines and the graphics look brilliant, However at what seems to be very random points, My computer simply turns off, But not via the windows powercycle method, It just looses power as if I unplugged it at the mains.
Anyone got any ideas as what the problem is and how to fix it ?
Post temps using [url=http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php]HWMonitor[/url] on load and idle.
Sounds like something is drawing too much power and your PSU is kicking out.
What are your specs, [i]including[/i] your power supply's wattage?
Sounds like your power supply may be not be handling your pc.
Power Pack: 230v AC - 550hz

Open up your computer and look at the powersupply unit, if you don't know what it looks like just look it up in Google Images. There should be a sticker on the side that tells you manufacturer, wattage, and other things. Take a picture of that sticker if you can, if you can't, type up exactly what it says on it and post it.

Your idle temps seem fine.
Try doing a bunch of stuff to stress your computer, like playing a game, or open lots of programs.
Then exit out of everything and run HW Monitor and tells us what the temps are.
I run lots of programs and a game this is the result - [url]http://i48.tinypic.com/mux05g.jpg[/url] compared to the original: [url]http://i47.tinypic.com/efnep5.jpg[/url].
Here is an image of my power pack- [url]http://i45.tinypic.com/20r0owx.jpg[/url]
450w, which is better than most stock PSU's. But as has been said before what are your other specs so we can do the math and work out if it is consuming too much. (Stock power-supplys are usually cheap varients unless it's a high-end gaming rig)
Umm, When I check the properties of my computer, I only get the 2.00gb of ram, Nothing else shows up.
But basicly:
Radon X1650 Series
AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 4000+
Hard Drive: 186gb Capacity with 10.5gb unused.
Heh, X-Power.
Sounds like your PSU might not be putting out the wattage it should.

That thing only has 18A on the 12V rail.
OP, your temps seem fine but with your specs I think your power supply just isn't up to task.
I think it's a bit unjustified to blame a certain PSU brand, I personally have a PowerX 2 700w PSU, which more than manages to handle my spec (which includes quite alot of power consuming shit such as a Factory Overclocked 285).
EDIT;
Oh wait, X-Power, not PowerX derp.

It doesn't matter if you over clocked your 285. You entire PC still isn't going to use the 700Ws. And from what it looks like X-Power PSUs don't put out what they should.
As said, X-Power and Sumiovision PowerX are two different PSU brands made by two different companies, I have the latter. I think I would notice if my PSU was not up to the job due to the large amount of equipment I have running off of it, which according to numerous power calculators such as neweggs almost maxes out on load.

My OCZ 700 Watt 18 amps on the 12v rails.
Buy a new PSU from a trusted brand: Corsair, OCZ, PC Power & Cooling are all good.
