The HD5770 will work fine with a 400W Corsair CX, trust me. The 450W rating is only for systems with low-quality PSUs with falsely advertised ratings, or people with extreme CPUs, which you do not have.

Could be all sorts of things, dodgy drivers, a corrupt OS, a dodgy hard drive or faulty RAM.

Well, have you tried installing an up to date driver for whatever was causing the problem?

I have got one of my old hard drives and done a restore to it so it has windows xp 32-bit and put it in my new computer i installed all the drivers and it seemed to work fine and i havnt seen a blue screen yet. But once when i was on the internet it kept coming up with an error about c++ after i rebooted it was fine. I also installed fallout 3 because that didnt work and it ran fine untill i left the vault i was then sent back to the desktop later i tried again and it was fine i did a few quests and then it rebooted its self when it came to the desktop it told me the windows had recoverd from an error which i normally see after a blue screen. The problems seem to be less often but are still there on another hard drive.

You shouldn't be using a version of windows not intended for a new PC anyway. You should really be using a fresh install of windows.

If you substantially change the hardware in a PC but keep the same install of windows you can get stability problems. It's highly recommended you use a fresh install of windows when you completely change the hardware in a PC (i.e. don't just move your old PC's hard disk into a new system and expect it to work)

So the problems in with the xp hard drive are because of this?

With any drive you use if it's already got windows installed on it, quite possibly. Install a new version of windows with the correct drivers on a fresh drive (backup and wipe one of your existing drives if you didn't buy another).

The hard drive with windows 7 on was blank and i installed windows 7 on the hard drive in the computer i built. The Xp hard drive was from another computer but when i wiped it and put xp back on i did it in another computer. I looked at the files on the hard drive and i have found alot of files that should have been wiped but have not so i will have to do it again and see how it works. Does the windows 7 disk have a limit of installs? This is what i Used

I havnt done anything to my computer or really used it because i have been doing other things. I came on today and it gave me a new blue screen error, memory managment so i looked on the internet to find out what it was and looked at a forum where people had the blue screen error and some one had said this:
"It's a simple problem if you actually understand the architecture of the
computer. I have seen this in both XP and Vista.
The problem is that under load (eg Vista) the system needs to push more
power to the certain elements of the PC one of these elements is the HDD
and the other is the RAM, hence the memory dump that comes with this
BSOD.
The pc can't get enough power to the RAM in time for the process and so
crashes. I am not certain this is the case but I have seen the problem
solved on many systems with a PSU upgrade. (400W upto 550W, etc.)
As I say I am not certain but this certainly solved the problem on the
many pcs i have encountered with the issue.:D"
Before you had said it could be due to the psu and that the one i have isnt very good so do you think the psu is definatly my problem?

It's possible, I would recommend replacing the PSU as a matter of urgency even if it doesn't fix the problem.

error page_failed_in_nonpage_area
ram addressing error.. one of windoze common bugs... it's lost track of where some program data was sent.. not usually a weak psu problem.. more likely a bad stick of ram.

Agreed, faulty memory is the most likely cause. However, to avoid future problems I'm trying to convince beccajay to replace the PSU as well...

Memory errors in metest definitely mean the memory is going wrong, no doubt about it. That either means RAM or PSU. If you have multiple sticks of RAM try the test with just one of them, then just the other (s), individually. It may be that the test only fails when you use one particular stick, in which case you know where the fault is.

I have 2 sticks of ram the first had 2058 errors and the second had 8 errors. when i ran the computer only from the first stick of ram it rebooted once but had no other problems. When i ran from the second it rebooted as soon as it got to the desktop and then wouldnt load internet explorer after thet it was fine.

Could potentially be a motherboard or power issue, but since replacing the RAM is easiest, try returning the RAM first for replacement.

What about Bios settings? Are there any options for changing timings or voltages ? A small voltage bump to the memory can help get it stable , along with memory timings being set correctly . If they are changeable in the Bios .

Proper memory should not need the voltage manually adjusting.
