after recalculating power needs at asus' website, I replaced PS with coolermaster 650 watt. I have also removed the Hauppauge 2250 to check stability.

Thanks

SOLVED:

removing the Hauppauge card did the trick. I uninstalled all the drivers with Hauppauge's unistall program to clear all traces . I then reinstalled just the Media Center drivers, and it has been perfect for over a week now. I don't know why the Hauppauge driver would suddenly go south, but that's what happened.
