    If you just built this newish PC and just bought the new P4 CPU and the 512MB ram and used your old system components... depending on how old your other computer was you probably used the same PSU (Power Supply Unit) which I'm willing to wager is too small and you're pulling too much out of it. This is a LAST case scenario, though. I'd go with the overheating/spyware/virus scenarios first and if they're not the culprit than your PSU probably is.
