I've seen a bad PS do some strange things, but generally I would agree.

But more to the point, once you have just about eliminated all the probable causes, you need to start working through the improbable ones.

At this point, if it isn't the video card, I would say it is the motherboard; but it is a heck of a lot easier to replace a PS than a mobo so it is worth a quick check if nothing else works, especially if you have a spare one handy.
