What to make of this???

[Dufrane]

Sometimes when I turn on my computer during the windows xp load screen I get a quick blue screen and my computer restarts. After several of these rounds XP will load without a hitch and everything seems tip top. The blue screen says this. "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

What do you make of this. I was thinking power supply, but I disconected all extra things like case fans. I have a 350 watt antec ps running a64 3000, 5900 xt, wd sata raptor, two optical drives, a floppy , and two case fans.

I downloaded a diagnostic from WD web site and ran the diagnostic and it passed. Any other suggestions??

I also ran it through an extensive scan disk before windows boots. No problems reported. Any other suggestions. I am still thinking power supply.
