O.K. When I go to install Vista 64 Home Premium I get random reboots like the reset button is being pushed.
Sometime I don't make it past the windows is loading files screen and the furthest I've been is starting to copy files to the HDD

Certainly sounds like a memory problem.. I had a similar issue, luckily I had 4 sticks of memory and was able to pull out the 2 sticks that were faulty, sure enough, compy started with them out. I spose you dont have any spare sticks lying around that you can test with?

I doubt it's the ram, how often do two sticks in a pack fail. Plus it's restarted when the only input was me typing the CD key. Does anyone remember something about Coolermaster PSU's not liking being plugged into a power strip?
