No I can't help you

[LimeyGreg]

Where are you located? Is you a.c. power clean? Did you purchase it already built?

Start from scratch. CPU, known good video card and one stick of memory. Do not overclock, allow bios to detect cpu. Check all bios settings very carefully and be sure to set CAS to 3-3-3. Make sure you have bios that supports your CPU. Boot up and while in bios check pc health and see what temp your CPU is at.

I am inclined to believe it's the power supply. 200W is barely adequate for most systems. Since you are swapping parts with the work machine, is that computer using a bigger power supply? Maybe you can try the PSU in your other box and see it the trouble goes away.

I agree with Newbie, try borrowing a power supply from your work one or from someplace, i suggest a 300 or 350watt. To me it's more commom sense first i thought it might have been the overclocking but then when it siad memory failure i figured you weren't getting enough power to the memeory to make it useful.
Hope that helps.

How clean is your power at home?

A mate of mine had trouble when he moved. His PC worked perfectly fine when he was living in his old flat. After he moved he got BSODs all the time. I told him to buy one of these RFI filter blocks. He got one and there was no problem...

Also where my sister is in Halls at uni, she kept getting BSODs whenever she put a floppy disk in the drive. There's a lift (elevator) quite close to her room. the same advice (RFI filter) sorted her problem out too.

It could be that your PSU is too weak to cope also... IMO sounds like a power problem.

If you can borrow a battery backup unit it may work as a filter and give you better AC to the PC. These are commonly known as UPC which translates into Uninterruptible Power Supply. The big name is APC.

If it does work you can decide whether to buy a UPC or just a filter. I suggest that you try to find UPC's for your PC. Undervoltage and overvoltage variations are bad for PC's.
