I have had a problem with my PC shutting down during games since I bought it back in 2010. It is an alienware (I wasn't aware of how much they suck when I bought it) with an i7 930 cpu and an alienware watercooler. I have replaced nearly every stock component (gpu, ram, hdd) as well as reinstalled god only knows how many times. Yesterday when I was playing I had little control in game (far cry 3) and my character continued to shoot his gun for a good 20-30 seconds. I have also had problems opening certain programs and other just really odd things. I'm thinking I have to replace the CPU and mobo, check out this video that I just took when my system crashed on far cry 3 and let me know what you think, all help is very appreciated. Thanks!

CPU: i7 930 @2.8GHz
Mobo: Alienware Aurora bios a11
OS: Win 7 64
Memory: 12 GB (upgraded)
GPU: Gigabyte gtx 970 (upgraded from sli gtx 660s)
HDD: 2GB Seagate SSHD (upgraded)
PSU: 1000 watt
 

I have tested the PSU with a multimeter multiple times and have gotten nothing but solid results and I have also reinstalled a quadrillion times.
 


So ideally I will have a new PSU, Mobo, and CPU by the end of this year, I do not however have that kind of money right now. Would you recommend I just not touch my PC just incase my PSU is frying my components? Or do you think that I should try to update the motherboard and try that? I just don't want to fry my good components. I would also like to state that this problem only occurs during intense gaming, I can do other less intensive stuff with no problems whatsoever.
