Ok this will probably be spotted so simply by one of you or all of you, but i cant for the life of me find anything to help me.

I ordered these parts:

I also have a XFX ATI Radeon 6950 XXX 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card.
And the 2 HDD below.

I popped this all into my case and built it up but kept getting a blue screen. So i removed a memory stick (since i realised that AMD dont use tri channel yet) and tried to install windows with that and it would randomly blue screen during the installation.
I finally got it installed and tried to do the windows updates and would download them but when it when to install it would blue screen out and the update would fail. This happens all the time.
I somehow managed to run a memory diagnostic and tried all the sticks and they worked fine. I sent the motherboard back via RMA and they have came back and said its fine also.

I put in my old mobo and tested the graphics card and hard drives. Everything works perfectly in my old system.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.00GHz Retail
Asus M2N SLi-Deluxe
OCZ Gold Edition 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Series
ATI 6950
1TB WD
Kingston SSDNow V-Series 64GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive



Any idea what the problem would be? Im thinking of just ordering new RAM to try dual channel.
 
Im using the exact same power supply Hyper Type R 580w. Im sure it is capable but if not i dont mind upgrading to a new one. Ive had this for about 5 years now though.

Would less power cause so much blue screens? I thought it would have just lost power and i havent been experiencing that.

Cheers for your help. I will look into getting a new psu as i do agree that its a bit old.
I do think it could generally be the memory now but the diagnostic came back fine.
Could it possibly be the processor? Or would the computer not boot at all?
 
Was lots of different blue screen errors. These were the main 2 i remember. There was also some blank ones.

MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Im sure both of these point to memory but the diagnostic came back fine?
