Theed,
Obviously you have an intermitant problem which needs to be isolated. Now that you changed out the power supply and your 100% sure this is good, we can eliminat this as a problem. Also you said you sent the cpu and motherboard back and as well you were subsequently told these were good.

Well lets look at the vaiables here.
Where is the board mounted? Are you sure it is not shorting to the case? Is the fan turning on the cpu? Have you tried another stick of known good ram in bank#1? Either way you have to go through the basic process of elimination until you zero in on the culprit. Me I try everthing that is known good on the board until I finally blame the board.
