Absolutely, since everything in the computer relies on the quality of power, from experience a bad powersupply can pass the electronic psu testers and still cause problems such as you described, but as Carl mentioned I think it's most likley that you have a bad component like a keyboard or a expansion card (modem, nic, etc) or there is a problem with one of the memory sticks, or a problem with one of the above not properly attached or seated in it's respective slot. -- Harondel J.
