Athlon 1333 @ 1533 (1.85V)
ABit KT7A-RAID
ATI AllInWonder 8500DV
SB Live
cheap NIC
512MB PC133 (1 stick no-name brand)
Plexwriter 24/10/40
Pioneer 16X DVD
2x Maxtor 40GB 7200RPM
2x Maxtor 60GB 7200RPM

All off a 300W no-name PSU with no power-related problems at all. I've also got a few USB devices drawing 5V power from the USB bus as well.

For your problem ambient - I would definatly suggest focusing on the video card as the source of your problems. It sounds to me like bad video RAM.
Hey, sometimes, you just get lucky.

I agree though the VC ram is the first thing to look at.

The basics though would make you clean the cards' connectors, then reseat it. Re-install the latest video driver, then check if the prob is still there. Then, check system ram.
