Could be insufficient (or faulty) power supply. Hard to confirm without getting a replacement though.

There are softwares that let you know the voltage amount your source is generating. The one I know of is PCAlert4, but I think it is a program for MSI only. You should see if there is one such as this one for your mainboard. If the 12v is actually 11.5v or less, that I'd say you are having a lack of power.

Can be monitored with Speedfan. I do have to say that these readings are not accurate though.

Are you sure it's the harddisk turning off and not the CPU overheating and shutting itself (including the whole system) off? Overheating could also be a problem I guess. Try and run Motherboard Monitor 5 in the background with logging enabled and look at your log after it has shutdown. (It should be able to safe the log while running in the background, can someone confirm this)

Ues that sounds the right thing to do. If it were the HD turning off, the comp would still run (theoretically, I've nerver tryed polling the HD plogh while runnig), since the OS is loaded to the memory, and you would get a bunch of erros screens.
