PC lockup when I play games

I play Left4Dead and TF2, mostly, but in Need For Speed Pro Street, this happens too:
I'm playing, varying durations, and all of a sudden, my PC locks and my keyboard and mouse lights go out (G15 and Razer Copperhead). I've tried this with multiple peripherals, same thing.
I think it's overheating. My 8800GTX came back from RMA about a month back and was fine for a while. Now, though, I think it's overheating. I am 1 part shy of having my watercooling loop finished, so that will probably help, but can you guys think of ANYTHING else that would cause this to happen?
