I would then have to go with the PSU as the issue then. Your temps are within an acceptable range, although could be cooler, so we can rule out the CPU overheating. I would bite the bullet and get a better quality power supply from someone like Thermaltake, OCZ or Ultra. I would also go with a 500 watt as a minimum. You can always go with a lower wattage PSU but it doesn't help things out if you decide to add a few components later on. I recommend 500W as a minimum anymore.

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 V2 430W -$45

Since there is only onboard graphics, a 430W power supply would do.
