BSOD On Dell XPS 410

[nuggetmaster10]

Hi all I have been having some major problems with this Dell XPS 410. I bought new RAM for it and its still giving me some odd issues. I have included a mini dump. Sometimes it boots up fine, sometimes it says I need to insert the CD and do a repair, sometimes I get to the windows screen and it restarts right away, sometimes it turns on and just stays with an Orange Screen.

I had bought new RAM for the unit that has made it work better but I am still having some issues with it.

0x0000008E-ks.sys
&
0x0000007E-atapi.sys

I hope someone can help me out. I am running Windows XP SP 3. I was thinking I might need a new power supply. I have also tried installing the OS on another hard drive still have issues.

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: f6e1f04f, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: b8b83644, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000
