Yeah, it's definitely the PSU. Like I said, do NOT buy cheap PSUs, always buy name brand. Not only do off-brand PSUs have problems with powering systems, they can fry your entire system quite easily.

Looks like I was ripped off then cause that one wasn`t cheap.
Can you recommend one? |

Anything from Antec, CoolerMaster, Raidmax, PC Power & Cooling, there's a list of good manufacturers somewhere here. Someone knowledgeable about parts in the UK can let you know a good retailer to buy from.

Well I have replaced the psu with the FSP one, but it hasn`t cured the problem.
Any other suggestions? |

Very weird. Absolutely sure you have the PCI-E lead connected to the video card?

Yes, it`s an agp card and has a standard 4 pin power connector, not the pci e type.
