!UPDATE!

I switched power supplies and figured out that was indeed the problem. I can't believe a brand new rosewill psu would turn out to be defective. RMAing immediately.

(I know now that I don't have to reformat to be able to boot. You just have to remake your boot.ini and rebuild your os list from Recovery console(XP DISK) (in most cases, without hdd being totally corrupt). I also know that if you don't have an administrative password and recovery console asks for one anyhow, just enter it blank, just a bug i guess.)
