Hi, i really have no idea whats happening with my system, this may take some time so if you have better things to do than listen to my shitty story then imsorry :D.

Right i got a PC from HP (LOL i know, mock me if you must) and i decided to upgrade the gcard about a year back, so i decided on a Asus EN6600GT. Soon after i'd installed all the drivers etc it kept randomly shutting my pc down, so i asked about and some people said it was my PSU, so i upgraded that to a Casecom 500w one, but the problem still persisted.
So about a month ago i was checking round the net and people were saying how it had some hardware issues, so i decided to update a few other bits and peices of hardware, so i did and this is my current rig so far..

Casecom 500W PSU
P4 HT 3.4Ghz
Asus P5N-E Sli 650i
Asus EN6600GT
1024mb DDR2 PC6400 800MHz
HP HPvs19 monitor

So when i build up this new system i thought i'd wipe my drives and start fresh and all that, so i installed windows with my new formatted partitions and now i'm getting programs randomly crashing all over the place, including MSN, IE7, Steam, Firefox, Safari and any other general programs, i'llpost up so more of the info of the crashes when it next happens, but anyone have any idea why this is? (I've formatted 5 times in 2 weeks :D) Oh yeah and most of the time when i start the pc up after it's been resting it just doesnt start up it bluescreens.

I was thinking it's either my windows, HDD's or Gcard.

Any idea, i'll be most greatful!
Bonsey :D

Need anything else? It's annoying, everythings crashing all the time, i think the general shutdowns are down to the gcard, but the programs closing all the time has to be windows, don't it?

services look fine, those are not all errors, only the yellow ones are error. and the only one I can see is your tcp half connection limits.

this maybe hardware related and I'm no good in hardware stuff, sorry :(
