I only change one piece at a time. If that fails to improve the situation I return the original part.

So Original set up + different PSU = still crash?

Man, this sucks.  Sorry.  I have to wonder if it's not something obvious that we're overlooking.

Yes. I also removed the connectors for the optical drives in case those are fucked.

Try something for me.

Try installing any other OS that isn't Vista.

I'll have to search my xp installer. I tried putting my old pc's system drive with xp in a couple days back with no positive result.

If you can't find the XP disk just download Solaris or Linux. 
PDH!

It'd be handy to get a bootable cd with an OS.  I'll let you run an OS without a working hard drive.  Ubuntu is good for that.

Yeah, I'll second Ubuntu suggestion.

Get a Universal Boot CD with XP.
