I would suspect the PSU for your problems. Do you have a spare power supply you could try?

Wooohah
The PSU was one of the things I suspected as well. I do not have a spare PSU unfortunately. Is there any way I can test it without just trying a different one?

You could always buy one locally and just return it if it's not the fix.

True... Power supplies easy to replace?

They are easy to replace but can be tedious when trying to manage the wires... Modular PSU's make it so you don't have as much clutter with extra wires you are not using, so I'd recommend looking into something like that. IIRC Best Buy sells EVGA and Corsair power supplies, which both have modular units.

Yes...
 
  
PSU Testinghttp://www.jonnyguru.com/...;ndfaq_id=28 (You will need a Digital Multimeter for testing your PSU. You want all three rails to be within ATX spec, ATX Specification: 12V: 11.40 to 12.60,  5V: 4.75 to 5.25,  3V: 3.135 to 3.465. If any of your rails hit the minimum spec I would replace the PSU with a new one.)
