Welcome to PCMech, pop126

What's the brand of the PSU in the case?

If you have 2 sticks of RAM, try taking one out and running the machine that way. If that doesn't work, swap the 2 sticks. If that doesn't work, try testing the stick(s) with docmem.

Disable the reboot on error, and read the bluescreen for clues:

The exact stop error code and the verbage right after it is your best clue.
