If you upgrade any parts in the machine (graphics card, mainly, but extra hard-drives can also play a part), then a lower-powered PSU could have a chance to brown-out (ie. temporarily not supply enough power to all devices). Mine did this, until I noticed I had my graphics card and two hard drives running on a single molex-rail from the PSU......random reboots galore, especially when gaming.
