My bet would be the power supply.
Maybe if you ran a video card with another rail/molex connector.
If you have a voltmeter, you could try to measure the voltage to see if you're getting stable voltages.

On a system like this, the load is 289 watts, generally your power supply to handle 60-80% of what it can do. eg 289/600=48.1%
CPU: Intel Core i7-920 @ 3.33GHz
Motherboard: Intel DX58SO (Intel X58)
Chipset Drivers: Intel 9.1.1.1015 (Intel)
Hard Disk: OCZ Summit (120GB)
Memory: Patriot Viper DDR3-1333 3 x 2GB (7-7-7-20)
Video card: Zotac GeForce GTX 460 1GB

It could be what twitchy said, just bad luck.
