That PSU should be more than enough, but that's not to say there's no problem with it. Try swapping it for a different PSU or disconnecting a few bits of hardware to see if that helps the problem.

That should be fine

Is there any indication that the program is still running when you get a green screen? (Sound in the background for example). There is a small possibility that it might be a dodgy cable or graphics card

What are your voltage levels like?

Do you have everything at stock? If so, does it do it at stock?

Try running Prime 95/Super PI/S&M/etc to see if there are any other indicators of instability in your system
