blue screens with a new computer

just baught a new computer. had some problems in the begining with bios instructions
but i got over them by restoring bios to optimized defaults and then changed some settiings.
my computer: cpu e6400, mobo ga-965 ds3, 1gb supertalent pc5300 ddr2, seagate 160g sata2, pcie sapphire x1650 256 mb. 500w generic power suply & case
operatin system: windows vista home premium
in windows everything works fine even if i stress it with super pai, sisoft sandra & more
in overclock (333x4 bus) everything is ok but the north bridge (965) is very hot so i got out of the oc.

problems: when i startup my computer i sometimes get a blue screen and than computer restarts and everything loads ok. in sisoft sandra tests i get an error that tells a bad irq assignment in pcie video card. in device manager i get no specific irq assigned to the pcie video card but some kind of virtual irq or something.

please i need some help with those blue screens or is it normal to have some blue screens if i myself installed all hardware and its just normal to get some blue screens like that in the first days till the system stablize?
 
Blue screen problems do not normally stabilize themselves unfortunately.

Check if IRQs are assigned automatically in BIOS (they are by default). In this case there should be no conflicts is you installed windows on your current configuration. If you added cards ? move them into different PCI slot. Bluescreen saying IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL can point to many different problems, not necessarily hardware-related. Anyway things to do would be to check temperatures, use memtest to check ram, reseat CPU, swap/reseat ram, try another PSU ? ?generic? sounds bad. Also if you have bs before ?loading? windows - you may have installed os in different sata mode (AHCI).
 
Do you know anyone who can read your Minidump files? Minidumps will pinpoint where the issues are that are causing these crashes. Speaking from experience, once you have a BSOD they are there until rectified.
