Install Asus Probe, and post the temperatures and voltages, please. Make sure the video card fan is working.

Why did you disconnect the two 80mm fans? Have you tried the system with the fans reconnected and running?
Are the two 80mm fans up front, on the back, on the side panel or up top? Cricket

This may or may not be the problem, however that 350W PSU may be having some trouble powering such a big system, especially the P4 and both HDD's along with a x800.
Just a thought. namakan |

Good to hear you got it fixed, it may have just been the HSF wasn't seated completely, who knows.
What benchmark was that in, 3DM05? |
