From my own limited experience-- with a crashed WinXP computer last year-- I
would suspect the power supply as being the cause. Which might then damage the
motherboard, if the PS really screws up. In my case, the motherboard got fried
when the PS failed catastrophically. (A cheap OEM power supply, no doubt.)

I'm no expert with this stuff, though.
