My system will reboot itself if left idling

I built my first system with an ASUS P6858D Premium motherboard, an Intel I7-920 quad core CPU, 6 GB of DDR3 Memory. My case is an AZZA with 5 cooling fans. I have been having a problem with the system rebooting on its own, especially if I let it sit idling. The temperatures all seem to be within acceptable ranges. When I check the Event Viewer I keep seeing Kernel 41 errors.

I have checked the memory, hard drive, power supply. I have updated the drivers for everything I can think of yet nothing seems to stop this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I did one thing that corrected my problem. I upgraded my power supply. When I built my system I had a 700W power supply. I have 3 hard drives among other peripherals drawing power. When I disconnected one of the hard drives the problem disappeared so I invested in a 850W power supply and everything runs great.

This was a relief and I was able to catch a good sale on the power supply.
