Is My Cpu Shafted?

**UPDATE**
the other night i was gaming and my comp just switched itself off, i powered back up again with the long boot times into windows tried to load up a game and the comp just rebooted, tried this a few times with the same result.

Someone please help me as this is driving me insane now, i'm near enough sure it's my hard drive i just need some clarification before i take the plunge into my wallet?
 
mate my dad bought a cheap nasty comp from woolies ages ago that did similar stuff....when you re-installed windows was it a clean one or did you repair/overwrite the last one....? clean will sort it i reks :)
 
i definately know it's not my ram as i get both problems with 2 different sets of ram, it's also not my cpu as i get the same problems with 2 different cpu's, when i reformatted i did do a full formatt on the hard drive i always do. i think i'm just going to have to buy a hard drive and sell it if it doesn't fix the problem!
 
as thought was my hard drive, ran sea tools and completed on the hard drive itself, i then ran it on the partion i created and it failed immediately and recommended i purchase a new hard drive! for reference my psu is a Hiper Type-R 580w modular
