    right now i would lean towards a ram problem. remove all cards & ram except for videocard & 1 stick of ram & reseat both of those. if still getting problem, try the other stick or other ram.

    Yeah that does sounda little risky. I'll stick to "air in the can" and a cloth

    hobo, check that the cmos jumper is in the right spot. try with 1 stick of ram & a videocard whether pci or agp as it doesn't matter. try another psu.
