What power supply have you got, its the most overlooked component that can cause problems.

Its the original one it was shipped with 250W and I've added no extra wardware to the original unit

Having purchased more RAM, tried a new graphics card (that is now still in its retail box) and a new hard disk Im reluctant to spend more on it to fix it unless I have a pretty solid solution

Two things:
-Have you tried to update drivers, or roll back on those that you've changed to stable ones?
-have your run a memtest yet, with only one stick of ram at a time?
-done a chkdsk /f recently?

 

[hnsexeter]

memtested both 512 sticks - fine
dont know which driver is causing the problem so cant really roll them all back
chkdsk /f did on old 120Gb drive - new 80Gb drive is also fine

Er, adding more ram, a hard drive, and a graphics card is definitely 100% classed as adding more hardware. I doubt your 250watt psu is up to it especially if its a cheap generic one. Go here http://www.extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp and see how much power your system actually needs. For a generic psu you should multiply your calculation by 1.5 as generic psu's wattage's are rated as absolute peak and means that running them at too high a wattage all the time will cause problems.

Apologies, I didnt add the hardware I swapped it like for like and not all at once.

First I swapped the RAM still got BSoD, then swapped back again
Second swapped graphics card, still got BSoD, then swapped back again
Third swapped hard disk, still got BSoD

Hope this helps

What I really need someone to do is read the attached minidump and tell me the source of the crash - I've thought all along its the Processor Cache
