Blue Screen please help

[terrimb]

My computer takes about 30 min to reboot, so i ran scans and did pcpitstop, it said something about poor performance with the video card. But in less than a month the blue screen has come up lots of times with some kernel msg, and later Blue Screen which wont go away so i have had to reformat it 3 times now. It still takes awhile for programs to load, even the homepage. I am so frustrated with this. Its about 3 years old, an E-machine with XP, 128mb of ram etc PLEASE HELP
Thank you

It depends where in the world you are!!!!

Here in the UK they range from £15 upwards! The more you pay the better the quality you get, i personnaly wouldnt go below £25 and 450 watts for one!!!!

which kind of psu?

im in oklahoma, in the U.S. sorry i should have said earlier
how do you find out which kind you need?
i feel really stupid asking questions

Don't feel stupid asking questions, it's how we learn!!!!

You will need a standard atx psu with a 20 way mobo connector and possibly a 4 way one too!!!!

They are a standard size so a new one shoud almost drop right in!!!!

Hope that helps!!!
