I suspect that the power supply is faulty, though it could be a problem with the motherboard as well. You need some diagnostic tools to check the system board and power supply. This is a free one that has good reviews (self-booting CD image): http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd, and here is a link to the download image: http://www.hirensbootcd.org/files/Hirens.BootCD.15.1.zip

I just downloaded and burnt the CD and booted it to explore it a bit. It is an awesome set of tools. One that is on the mini-xp image is called s&mstress which will stress test the system CPU, power supply, hard drives and controllers, etc. That would probably help determine if your problem is the power supply, or something else.
