PSU and case would be the last thing I would try, but I've been there before.
Since the games run fine off the original CD's I would assume some form of code (windows, addons, drivers, etc) is not playing nice with the No-CD cracks. Moving video card and sound card would rule out those driver interactions as those 2 tend to be the biggest reason games crash.
Also, are the 2 machines at the same level of Windows update?
Good to hear you're up to date with the VIA drivers as they did/still do have issues. I'd have to say intel chipsets have been way more reliable.
