Sounds like you strongly suspect the problem is power demand related.  I know UPS software like powerchute will trigger a system shutdown when utility power is lost.  Check out the power demand specs on the CPU.  My guess it's not over 30 W.  What other power hungry devices might you have on your system....One way to know for sure is to just measure the amps on the 120 VAC side and multiply by 120 to get the Watts.
