Hi,
Usually my suspects are in this order: ram, power supply, hard drive,
motherboard, processor. The ram is easy enough to check with the onboard
diagnostics, even if it ran ok in another system. A power supply tester is
easily found for a few bucks. Hard drive diagnostics are generally available
from the manufacturer. The motherboard would have to go back to the maker,
same for the processor.
If your error message was consistently the same, then I'd suspect a
software/driver issue. As you stated that it changed each time, this is a
fairly solid indicator of a hardware problem. It could be something as
simple as your timing in the system BIOS (please tell me you aren't
overclocking - if you are, don't).
