PSU problem?

So whenever I try to load L4D or TF2 my computer just shuts off. I can usually turn it right back on but sometimes it won't. Like I have to press the button multiple times to get it to boot. Once it even turned back on by itself, it didn't seem like a normal reboot. I never actually get into a game, I've only seen TF2's main menu once. It is generally games that do it, though. Even raptorsafari.com does it.
My specs:
mobo - GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P
GPU - nvidia 9800gtx+
CPU - core 2 duo 8400
4 gigs of G.SKILL ram
Corsair 650w PSU
320 gigabyte HDD
1 DVD drive.
My CPU temps are at 50c idle. That's hot but not hot enough I'd think.
Oh, and my PSU is like 3 weeks old, so I hope there's no problem with it.

It could still be the power supply, but your CPU might be overheating. Do you have good airflow in the case?

There's my speedfan, though in bios the cpu temps are around 40. And that 12v rail reading is wrong.
