Hello, I want to change my powersupply to 1000w, but i have some suspiciousness if can work any powersupply or need to be just HP made?
 
What do you have in your system? I highly doubt you have any need for anything anywhere near 1000W, it has 2 CPUs but only a single PCI-e 16x slot so you have zero need for anything over 650 W, it isn't possible to need more with that motherboard.

It looks like a standard case though so it should work with any standard ATX power supply.
 
2 xeons is at most 130 W each, for 260 W, a GTX 470 consumes about 215 W of power, thats only 475 W, about 550 W max for the whole system assuming a few hard drives. It doesn't actually consume anywhere near as much as you think, if you want to check get a kill-a-watt meter, it plugs into the wall between the wall and the computer power cord, it will tell you exactly how much power you are using, and it is rarely what you would expect.

After finally finding a spec sheet, the 3.6GHz Xeon you have is the narcona which has a TDP of 103 W per processor so you are likely only around 500 W

i did the test more than 50% no errors, and with older graphics card 9600 gt, i never get same error. The 9600 gt work perfectly, but this gtx i dont know where is the problem
 
If the 9600 works , maybe the current card is on its way out.

That said, memtest86 has to get several passes to be good. As users above, I run overnight to 24 hours.

Prime95 with blend of custom blend also tends to crash with memory errors.

Did bluescreen view give you any codes?
