Your power supply sounds a little small to be running an Athlon processor.  Check the AMD site for minimum power requirements for an Athlon processor.  If I remember correctly you need at least 20 amps @ 5 volts which most 250 watt supplies cannot deliver.

I run an AMD 1.34 Ghz on an Asus A7V133 MB, 256 MB RAM, Win2KP, ATI All In Wonder Pro 128 video card, Tekram V90 SCSI card.  With reliable predictability, upon first boot in the morning, or whenever (FIRST boot-ups), this machine will juuuuuuuust about get into the GUI and Bing!  Back to POST, BIOS, rebooting, no warning.  Twice minimum, usually three times, then I'm into the GUI, and all seems well except for occasionall oddities.

I'm concerned about two things: the power supply I use is 250W, and I'm concerned about the ATI card being the culprit.  Can anyone offer me any insights on this matter?  TIA!
