If your power supply is underpowered, you're not going to see these kind of errors. If your PS is underpowered, your system just crashes, or doesn't boot, or randomly resets. I had a system that would reset every time it spun up a CD.
Did you reinstall windows after putting together the new system? If not, do it.
Check your RAM. Memtest is a good prog. Even slightly bad RAM can cause huge problems.
Check your case temps. An XP2400 runs a hell of a lot hotter than an old Athlon 500.
Also, run some kind of stresstest. Unreal 2k3 would probably work, but something like SiSoft Sandras burn in test would work a little better.
Good luck!
