My sata light is flashing, it's orange and flashing. Should I be worried? My pc randomly shuts off as well, already ordered new psu + new ram. Hoping replacing those will fix my problem.

i7 950
8 gb ram (sector 5, 2x4)
32 bit windows 7

evga gtx 260 video card
750 fatlity PSU

Already bought a new psu, switched out the older one
My new ram just came in. Just switched out the ram... I need help guys. Could it be my motherboard? 😕

Edit : My last bet would be to replace my graphics card. 😕 Any possibility to get another motherboard through this site? I'll send this one back for a replacement maybe? ... i'm QQ bros...
