But I'm not overclocking it! This problem is even if memory runs DDR266!!
I've changed power supply once more and it's working good, but Prime95
still shows that something is wrong with hardware

Do You know any good benchmark to test it? Prime95 is good?

ya this is exactly right. u can try also a truepower380

Prime95 is a good test for stability, especially tough on memory.

To see if ram is the culprit, try raising the timings to something like
3,4,4,8. If you still get errors, test the sticks one at a time or in
alternate slots -- if you are using 1 and 3, try 2 and 4 or vice versa. You
can also try raising the DDR voltage just a little.

I also wonder if those temps are accurate. 34C is very low for a P4, even at
idle. It is not an unreasonable temp for the case sensor.

Spontaneous reboots are usually a sign of problems with ram, poor cooling
or, as others have suggested, an inadequate power supply.
