Computer rebooting

Hi.. i was just wondering if anyone could help me..  I have a computer.. Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz, 1GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 6600 graphics.. my question is.. my computer recently started rebooting on me only while i was playing Video games.. but now it is starting to reboot by itself even when im browsing the internet.. i know its not the PSU.. already tested and its more than powerful enough for my rig.. what are the other possibilities that would cause this and is there a way to test each item without having to take it out and put a different one in.

Have you done any

Have you done any overclocking of your rig? Any custom memory timings?

How did you test the power supply?

Was overclocked before, but i

Was overclocked before, but i turned that down to normal and still reboots.. Havent changed any memory timings so no custom ones.. and i guess i havent really tested PSU.. just been told it was within range of what the readings should be.. i know the PSU is big enough because I had no problems with it for over a year and it just started happening so if its anything to do with psu it would be because it is failing and no that its too weak... i assume it's either a failing psu or maybe a bad graphics card or something..
