Is onboard VGA available to test and elimate the graphics card as an issue? How about another set of ram? What are your temps? OS?
As posted above, a full list of specs would be great.

I would make a seperate partition on your Seagate HDD (maybe 50 GB or so) and re-install your OS there. I'd remove your other hard drive during this process as well.
Download HWMonitor, install the program, then start the program. Leave it running for about an hour while your doing your normal computer stuff. Then post a screenshot of all the values. Here's a guide to taking and posting screenshots if you need it Screenshot Tutorial
HWMonitor will let us know if the hardware is running hot, what your voltages are and if there stable as well as other things.

You can reinstall OEM on the same machine, just not on a different one.
Your temps look good, BTW.
Try installing AnVir Task Manager Free and checking your startup processes. it almost sounds like a program is kicking in and out to me. If nothing else you can keep an eye on the CPU meter in the system tray.
