Tomshardware.com should be reviewed for his power supply articles. You need a lot more watts. Or a lot less parts.

Hi, I'm new to the forums and have a question.
Everytime I try to run World of Warcraft or Star Wars Galaxies, or really any game that requires enhanced video I get this error:
*** STOP: 0x00000008e (0xc0000005, 0x000002dd, 0xb2c49cc8, 0x00000000)
It's on the BSOD of course, but I get no file errors. Currently I'm running an Athlon64 3400+ on a gigabyte k8ns pro, with an ATI radeon 9800 pro and a 160gb seageate PATA hdd. I'm wondering if maybe my PSU is pooping out when it tries to load the higher graphics of the games. I just built this system, and the case came with a 350w PSU. I d/led sisoftsandra to make sure that was hopefully the only problem, and all the temps were good except for the PSU, it was sitting around 72C. Any help with this is appreciated cuz i can't game on my gaming system lol.
I also ran speedfan to check the voltages, but they're Greek to me.
Vcore1: 1.65v
Vcore2: 2.61v
+3.3v: 3.18v
+5v: 3.41v
+12v: 12.16v
-12v: -2.49v
-5v: 1.59v
+5v: 3.52v
Vbat: 4.08v
Like I said, any help at all is appreciated.
