Lately I have been having issues with my pc. A couple days ago I was watching youtube videos, when my computer just froze up, looping noise that had been playing in the video. It's never done anything like this before either. But I had to hard reboot, and it worked fine for quite a while. Then it happened again, and I had to hard reboot once more. And it continued to happen a few more times untill I finally got a blue screen. It was a "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" blue screen. I did have bluescreenview at the time but since then, I had tried a system restore, which got rid of it. Anyway, I continued to attempt troubleshooting my rig, and I got another BSOD. "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".. Now, Ive had some experience here and there with this BSOD, and I began to think it could be bad RAM, but the thing is, I just bought brand new RAM not too long before my cpu. Continuing to troubleshoot (luckily my pc kept rebooting after these BSODs) my monitor started to show "NO SIGNAL" on the screen. (I do have an ACER monitor, which i know is notorious for problems such as this) but it had never done it before. it came along with these other problems. So after a few tries of rebooting, it finally found signal after i gave it a little break. and that problem has seemed to have come and gone. NOW, i am dealing with random reboots, and more blue screens. I'm surprised i'm even able to type this all out w/o a reboot. Does anyone know what could cause all of this stuff? what these may be symptoms of? or what i can even begin to do to fix it?

I have a suspicion its my crap-power supply. It's only 330w and with my other components, i think it may be quite strained. Here are my specs:

ASUS CM1630 Series
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (SP1)
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT 1gb
AMD Phenom II X4 3.0 GHz (black edition)
8 GB RAM

anyone who can, please help. I am starting school this summer and i need a working and decent pc for my work.
Thankyou in advance everyone.

The 960T is a killer CPU and still well worth building a system around. Go pick up a $60 motherboard and a $40 case and swap all the other components from your asus into the new case and bingo u should be good to go !
