Serious PC start and hang up problem...

My problem is that my PC(P4 2.8,512 DDR RAM,GF Ti 4200 128 MB GFX,Intel 865 MB,200 GB HDD with Win XP Pro SP1)hangs up on me
regularly when I am doing some work.Sometimes the PC wont even start on switching the CPU start button.
The machine starts but there is no display.I have to keep on switching the start button on and off multiple times
and even then I am not sure if the PC will start.
If the PC starts well.....I am lucky.
Most of the times when I am using some application the PC just hangs up.
My vendor says that my GFX card is the problem..I think even he is not sure because the same problem occurs even when I have connected the
monitor cord to the MB GFX output....
I have been using the same card for over 1 year now and this problem did not surface AT ALL during last year.
I have reassembled the entire CPU but I am really not sure about the exact problem area.
Can anyone help?
In case if you need any more info to isolate the problem,please do let me know.
Thanks.
 
Welcome, you need to start isolating the problem. Do a minimal setup ie. MB, one stick ram, GPU, hdd. Run the manufs. utility to check your hdd or at a minimum run chkdsk /r Run memtest86 to rule out your memory. Use a multi-meter to check the rails on your power supply. Install SP2. Have a beer and let us know how you are progressing.
