A major problem

When I start the computer it boots and in the XP welcome screen it restarts. I have narrowed the porblem down to my graphics card Abit Geforce2 T400, I have tried to start it with my second card Ati Radeon VE and it goes into windows fine.
 
Have to tried getting a new GF4 Ti4200?
How big is your power supply? Should be 300W's bare minimum, but bigger is better.
 
I have tried the card with AGP Aperture size 4M, then it works fine, but when I try anything higher than 4M the computer starts rebooting. Now i'm not sure whether it is an mobo error or videocard error, because even with the ATI Radeon, when I try to play Operation Flashpoint, it restarts. Other games are causing the computer to restart after about 5min of gameplay.
 
I have replaced the card and still the rebooting occurs, now it restarts before the xp welcome screen, could this be a mobo problem?
