If I am getting what your writing.....The one stick of memory was mislabled (it's actually a 333 stick)......

The reason it won't run right with one stick of 400 and one 0ff 333 is that you confusing the heck out of your board....

run the stick of ddr400 so your system will run at 400 like you want and send the 333 back for replacement....

since your cpu is a 400mhz bus you have to run memory with the same bus or higher or it confuses the chipset....it won't know to underclock one or overclock the other and it becomes a big mess.....simple...

This has nothing to do with the power supply.....swap out the ddr333 for another ddr400 and all will be fine....
