Powering off under CPU load!?

I bought my HP Pavilion zv5320us about a year and a half ago, it's got XP home. It has worked fine since I bought it, but a few days ago it started shutting off whenever the CPU is under load. For example:

I'm watching an avi file in full screen and I seek to a different part, the computer will pause for a second, then just power down.

Example 2: When I try to convert a mp3 bitrate (using a program such as MP3 Cutter Joiner), it will do the same thing: load for a second then shut off.

In both instances, I can turn it on after it shuts off, and it boots up fine.

Anyone know what the deal is and how to fix it?

P.S. I recently did a clean install of XP and I haven't done anything to mess it up.
