Does this sound like a PSU issue ?

Hi,

For the last 4 days, every 8 boots out of 10, brings up a windows screen with color dots and stripes all over. I ran memtest, which found one of my 512MB sticks to be bad. I removed it, but then again, it's all the same.

My video card is a Leadtek A6600GT AGP. I tried various Forceware drivers but nothing works. If I get to a working desktop, the minute I invoke a 3D intensive app, I get the color garbage again.

ITE Health monitor shows the 3.3v rail to be 3.0-3.02v. Is it too low ? - Could the problem be the PSU ? - it's a noname 400w.

My config is:
DFI UT3
Kingston HyperX 3200 (512MB)
Athlon 64 3000+ (s754)
200GB WD SATA
120GB WD PATA
NEC 3520
SONY DVD-ROM x16

Thanks.
 
Have you done a minimal boot? If so did it do the same thing? Have you checked that vidcard?
