OK, I bought a 550W PSU but still had the same problems. So it wasn't that.
I later took the Memory Dimms out and tested each one in the machine separately.
I found that 2 of the Dimms caused these problems, so the problem for me was faulty
RAM. (Even though the BIOS was saying that the Ram was OK).
I am now only using 2 of my Dimms in the machine and everything is fine. The other
2 faulty dimms have been sent back to be replaced.
Hope this info helped some of you!
