Alright, I replaced the motherboard with an Asus P5GC-MX/1333 (coupled with a fresh install of Windows XP, of course) and everything works great.

So it was the motherboard after all... I'm just glad its finally fixed. That cold-boot issue was especially getting on my nerves, but its always nice for your CPU and RAM to be running at their full potential :D

One thing I also noticed in CPU-Z is the CPU is actually listed as exactly 1800 or even 1800.2MHz now, whereas before it would always be like 1796MHz or 1196MHz, so thats cool I guess...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll go ahead and keep that Corsair PSU in there just in case, since its at least meets the requirement for the +12 (if even just barely).
