Does everyone here agree that a 500watt power supply is sufficient
enough for a dual MP 1800 board with 4 hard disks, DVDrom, cdrw,

whats up with my computer and my next stop is to call an electrician.

It could be or could not be. Depends upon the quality of the power
supply, the age of the hard disks (older ones seem to be more of a power
hog). All power supplies are not equal, some cheapo "500W" supplies
start to fade before delivering a full 500W. What problem are you
seeing? With all that hardware in the box I might be thinking that heat
is your problem unless the box is well ventilated.
