I concur that it is probably the power supply. If you have a known good [power supply, substitute it.

Microsoft has a memory testing utility you can download and run from disk to check the memory. You might give that a try before spending any money.

And while it can be other things you always look at the Power Supply as your first option.

You really need to test the unit with a [b]Known Good Power Supply[/b] to see if that was the problem or if you have to dig deeper to fix the computer.
