I had a very similar problem.  I discovered it only happened when I had my
RamKeeper plugged in and my printer powered up.  When I turned the power off
on my printer it didn't do it any more.  The only thing I can figure is
that it has to do with a power drain pulling down the power supply to the
ragged edge of tolerance, then the printer (i/o card?) pulling it over the
edge.

Insidentally I do have a fan, (a SystemSaver GS).
