In my experience the checkerboard pattern is usually a RAM problem (poorly seated/bad RAM/dirty socket or contacts) and the auto-restart thing is usually marginal voltage from the supply. But I imagine that low voltage could simulate the faulty RAM symptoms, so I'd check to see that the motherboard is actually getting a good 5V from the power supply.
