    Computer shuts off while watching video


    I have an HP Pavilion HPE h8-1214 Desktop
    The only changes I made to the unit is to add a 130GB SSD and a Ceton tuner card.
    Everything else is stock
    The problem I am having is if I watch a video in Media Center or online the computer will turn off.
    I don't mean shut down. I mean it acts like someone puled the plug. I have to press the power button to turn it back on.
    Now I can have the computer on for days without a problem. I can watch video using VLC or Windows Media player But as soon as I try to watch something in Media Center or an online video it turns off.

    Any ideas?

    How much memory do you have? Memory could be the problem because you need enough memory for those programs to run
