I had almost the exact same issue with one of my computers, and in the end it was just the Mobo dying... (though it was a crappy board from the get-go based on the 680i chipset... those p35s are "usually" pretty stable).
Something is going bad, or went bad, and order of 'most likely' would be the mobo, then memory, then... anything else.
(I'm sure you've already reseated all of the connections, just for f*cks sake, heh)
Borrow a friend's memory stick and try just theirs, or buy some RAM at a store than has a return policy... try it.
Maybe try another vid card?
If none of those fix it, get a new mobo 
(you could get a p45, which would be pretty awesome)
