That computer sounds like more a pain than my new one...

And it certainly shouldn't be happening to a pre built system.

First of all, time how long it takes for your BSODs to come up. If it is completely random, then its probably a hard drive defect. The dust filter might be faulty and allowing dust into the HDD cavity, which is bad, as the reading head is only a few micrometers from the surface of the disk (and dust particles are a lot larger than that).

Try it with an older Hard drive if you can (I hope your motherboard has an IDE drive port...) to see if the computer still kills itself.

If not, then it may be power fluctuations to certain parts of the computer. To be honest, there are so many things that can go wrong with a computer, its quite hard to pin down unless you have a clear pattern.

Any more information, and I may be able to help you.

Hope this helps a bit.
