have you tried running the system with the motherboard out of the case and resting on cardboard (or other non conductive surface)...could be a weird intermittent short from a standoff, or to the case.

have you tried another hard drive cable?

try it with the bare minimum connected (disconnect cd/dvd drives, etc)

how about the power supply, could it be unstable?

good luck

hi,
this is classic bad memory. even though you changed it, have you tried running memtest or docmemory, either can be run from a floppy.
docmemory
memtest
try and see if you get errors.
like ww said, be sure to check cables and swap them and try installing with the minimum. can you try installing with just 1 memory stick?
good luck
