I have built quite a few machines, I recently ordered a bunch of stuff from newegg to build a machine, $60 antec case w/300 watt pawer supply, athlon 64 2800, gigabyte nforece 3 mobo, maxtor sata 120 gig gard drive, 2x512 corsair value select ram.
Here is the problem, the machine ran like a champ for a week or two, then it got a blue screen when booting up, can not load hive, \winnt\securety .... or something or other. When I try to boot to the Windows Xp cd, the machine will reboot shortly after the "inspecting your computer configuration". Even if I disconnect the hard drive I can not boot to a cd. I shot gunned the mobo, no help. I tried only one stick of ram, nada.

any more suggestions?

Is the power supply Antec too? 300w may be pushing what you are running.

Also, download memtest86 from www.memtest86.com and test each stick of memory individually. Windows is not needed to do the testing.
