What kind of power supplies are you trying? Intel made some new standards for the P4, so you may need a power supply specifically designed for it. I think it's called ATX12V (see Intel's support site for more details).
I think Asus's P4T motherboard will work with a standard ATX, but only up to a certain amount of memory, and then it will have problems as well...

Hmm, well the only other thing I can think of would be a heat issue. Possibly after a while of usage, the processor is heating up to the point where it will shutdown, causing the computer to seem like it restarted.
My father has a P4 1.4 and he doesn't have this problem at all, so it's not an issue with the 850 chipset.
Possibly try a better heatsink/fan combo and maybe a more ventilated case that will allow you to add some extra case fans...
Sorry I can't help more...
