Have a go at mem-testing your ram just to rule any problems with that.

Do you get a flash of blues screen when it reboots, can you install a the operating system on a different hd to check if it could be drivers.

its more a hint of green screen .. and its very fast ... i know what you mean by blue tho as its happened on my older pc ... not the same with this tho.. doesnt mem test need to be done from disc ? my blu ray drive has no write facilites
