Strange Startup and Blue Screen

My computer is acting strangely. If I shut it down overnight and turn it on in the morning, it takes up to five minutes to boot up and tells me it has just recovered from a serious system error. The strange thing is, once it boots up, if I were to restart it, it reboots in much less than a minute. I do not understand why this could be happening. It is a very new computer that I just recently built and has been like this for a while now.

The other issue, which I probably should start a new thread for, is just recently, today or yesterday, it started randomly blue-screening me and rebooting. It does this even if I leave the computer or if I'm using it. I haven't changed any settings or anything.

My comp has:

-two sets of http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820145449 (2 -gigs total)
-http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814130231
-http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813123246
-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103514
-two http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148040 that are raid0 together

Thanks a lot.

I can't tell because the blue screen appears for a second or so, then it restarts automatically.

The blue-screen issue just started yesterday.

The startup issues have been going on as long as I've had the computer. If I ever shut the computer down for more than a half hour to an hour, it takes forever to boot up and tells me several times that it just recovered from a serious error.
