could this be insufficient power?

The rig was almost identical and ran perfectly before when I had a 3800x2 and 2gb of ram with a 7950GT. I upgraded, had problems since: System likes to crash (vista 64) in games. Lots of graphical corruption, then "Display driver stopped responding". I've tested the ram, and the CPU, and both pass every test I can think of. I'm down to power and Video card...

So, are graphical glitches and corruption and hard locks a sign if a PSU starting to go bad or not having enough juice?
 
I'm having similiar issues, so I hope someone w/ more knowledge can respond for the both fo us. :)
 
No, my specs are on my sig. It's the rig w/ the core2duo, so see below. :)
