i think you need to reinstall vista if your getting so many problems at the same time, maybe a dodgy install from who you bought it off.

ya the new GTX 260 might be sucking all the power.

install the latest drivers, as messed up ones can cause ALL types of weird problems. as Nvidia is a big part of Vista problems. lol. until you get the drivers right.

The PSU seems big enough but it doesn't mean it can't go wrong.

Is the computer working ok with the GPU removed?
Have you check all connections to see if they all correctly connected?
Is the fan working on the GPU? Could over heat be a problem?
If can't coming up with any quick answer, best thing to try first is reinstall Vista.
Then we start from there.

Hope this helps.
