I've had the same problems with a computer at work, I replaced the power supply, tried a new agp video card, a new pci video card, tried it with nothing but the motherboard connected, I finally narrowed it down to a few blown capacitors on the motherboard so I replaced the motherboard and it has worked fine since. Look at the tops of the capacitors on your motherboard, if any of them are leaking or are bulged they may be blown and I would think that would most likely be your problem
