CRASH Blue Screen on new build!

Hey all!
I've recently put together the fallowing build:
XP PRO x64
Ram: G.SKILL 4GB
Power: Antec earthwatts EA500 500W
HD x2: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAJS 500GB
Mobo: ASUS P5Q SE PLUS
Video Card: Radeon HD 100255HDMI
CPU: Intel Pentium E5200 Wolfdale

For whatever reason I occasionally got the blue screen of death while setting up all the software. Now the person I put it together for is saying that he's getting the blue screen every 5min. I'm going over there to take a look at it tomorrow but I wondering if anyone had any at all idea why this might be happening.

Try and get the stop code for the blue screen.

Initial thoughts would be drivers. Might also want to run memtest.
