PSU? Possibly a sign of being overloaded or starting to fail.

Could be many things....

Have a spare PS or try the video card in another system?

I've had that happen and it was the Bios that went out Sad

Just have to see what you have laying around to start the swap-out game...

PS, Video Card (in another system), ram are typically the easiest things to try first.
