It doesn't seem like you're having a power supply issue, but rather more an
issue with your current drivers / DirectX configuration...
The following applies to most games in general, and not just to the games that
may be listed in the KB Article refered to in this post.
SYMPTOMS:
When you start or play any one of the games that is listed in the "Applies to" section, you may experience one or more of the
following symptoms:
.The game stops responding.
.The game quits unexpectedly.
.The computer restarts unexpectedly.
.The game stops and an error occurs
Additionally, you may receive the following error message after you receive the Gathering Exception Data dialog box:
<Game Name>has encountered a problem and needs to close.
RESOLUTION:
Method 1: Restart your computer by using a clean boot procedure
Method 2: Remove and Reinstall the Game
Method 3: Adjust graphics hardware acceleration
Method 4: Disable AGP Texturing in the DirectX Diagnostic tool
Method 5: Temporarily disable the sound card in Windows
Method 6: Lower sound acceleration
Method 7 : Download and install the most recent version of DirectX
Method 8: Update your video driver
Method 9: Update your sound driver
Method 10: Scan your computer for viruses
Method 11: Remove spyware

You're most welcome for the help so far, it's what we do. :-)
Here are a few solutions for the DirectX 9 "Logo Testing" error,
as well as other errors when trying to install patches or updates:
Here's a quick solution to try before reading through the other steps:
1.. Start the Administrative Tools utility in Control Panel.
2.. Double-click Services.
3.. Right-click Cryptographic Services, and then click Properties.
4.. Click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Start.
If that doesn't work, then grab a soda and get ready for some fun. ;-)
1. Try the resolutions in this recently released MS article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=822798
2. Save and then Open the "DX9 Logo Error" patch on Line 189
for WinXP at: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
3. Repairing Windows is our final option. Boot from your Windows
CD (you may have to press F12 while starting up, or change the
bootup order in your BIOS) and then follow the instructions at:

You mentioned your system was creating memory dumps. If you'd like you
can send some my way and I'll look at them and see if the culprit can be
determined. If not I might have you enable some tools to help track it down.
