One other thought... since I've been seeing a lot of confidence in PS problems. Does your BIOS have the ability to tell you voltages? If so do as Robert suggests and boot to BIOS then go into the config and watch the voltage levels ... I'm wondering if maybe the PS is out of specs. Since you say it's new maybe finding out now while you can take it back would be good. If not we can scratch that as a possibility.
