You might have a couple wires on the inside loose. Open up your case, release your static charge on your case or PSU(Power Supply Unit) and check that all the connections are tight.

If you're computer is old, your PSU might just be crapping out

So I'm guessing you put in a new graphics card and PSU then right?

What did you put in? Maybe your new PSU can't dish out enough power for everything, especailly if you got a graphics card like an 8800GTX

Think out of the PC, maybe the voltage stabilizer (if that is called) is having a problem, its old?
