Default Random Power Losses

Ok guys, i have my suspicions on this, but id like some other perspectives on this

I get random power losses on my computer, as in my box, all the lights/fans etc go off, instantly, my moniters go blank, not off, for around 3 seconds, then my computer turns back on, boots up, my moniter of course doesnt catch up as quickly, and i get an unsusually longer boot time, and get to login screen.

After some light reading, I thought maybe i was putting too much stress on a single outlet by pluggining my entire computer, 24" moniter, and 15" monuter into a power strip. so i moved my computer over, and have my computer to a seperate socket, and the moniter on the power strip. No go.

Im very doubtful on it being my power supply, as i have this Newegg.com - PC Power & Cooling S61EPS 610W Continuous @ 40°C EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies
im quite sure that power supply is high quality, im not overloading a rail, as its a single rail
im running a wolfdale, 4 gigs of ddr2 1066, and a 260 off it with 2 hard drives.
im quite sure an 80%+ efficiency 610w PSU can handle all this lovely stuff, and comment show other people are running a bit more gear on their systems.

Might be a software error, a conflict, as im running a cracked 64bit XP pro. but im doubting a software error would cause a power loss of this caliber.

a hard drive error, same thout as above.

ram error? im thinking this might be the problem. i was runnign it for while at 1.925v at 800mhz, when it should be at 1066 @ 2.1v.Newegg.com - OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

what are some other perspectives on this.

also, no moniter that i have show anything even close to overheating, my system is very cool.
