BSOD errors - won't boot to win 7

Hello,

I got a computer from a company that was upgrading. This computer has intel i7, 6 sticks of 2 gig ram (total 12), terabyte harddrive, and what appears to be a 800w power supply.

I re-formated and partitiioned the drive then re-installed windows 7 on the computer. It wouldn't run the installer the first 3-4 times but the fifth time, after removing 2 sticks of ram, it installed. I put the ram back in and it worked fine. For a day or 2.

It has had about 3-4 different BSOD messages and now it gets the KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR at boot.

I have replaced the hard drive, same issues. I have ran the memory diagnostics which it passed twice (once with the extra 2 sticks and once with them removed).

I'm beginning to think it could be the power supply? Maybe the computer isn't getting the power necessary and is giving up?

I'm just looking for any suggestions. Thanks for your help.

I ran the memory diagnostic once for each stick individually and they passed. Here is what is so disconcerning. I am currently on the computer right now and it is working fine. However, about 5 hours ago when I tried to boot the computer it got a BSOD during boot (as it was in the Windows loading screen) and restarted. So I left it alone, tried again 5 hours later and now it turns on. It would be easier to fix if it would just break consistantly >_>

I want to say that the BSOD error was "Page fault in non-paged area" error... any suggestions?
