new build My first build is a little unstable.....

hi all. i recently took the plunge and built my first computer and i am having a couple of issues! hurruh!

the first one is that the fan on my psu doesn't spin. ever. im already working on sending it back to the seller on amazon after the christmas post rush here in the uk has passed. im hoping using in the mean time wont cause any problems as long as i dont leave my computer on over night or when i am at work (as i did with my old one). my psu is a 750 watt corsair tx series.

the second, more worrying one is the bluescreens. each time i start up the computer it will boot to windows seemingly fine, then within the first few minutes of being on it will bluescreen, crash, restart and then run fine for as long as i use it. i am wondering if this could be caused by the psu fan issue or (hopefully not) something more sinester.

i copied some error reports from the bluescreens which i got after the the computer restarted..

my specs are:
gigabyte sky-am3+ 970A-DS3 fx3.1 motherboard
AMD phenom II x4 965 black edition (3.4Ghz) with the stock fan
EVGA geforce gtx 570
750 corsair tx series power supply
2x 4GB corsair vengence ram (in duel channel mode)
2TB WD caviar green hard drive

i used an anti static wrist strap when building it, built it in a room with a tile floor and treated the parts with all the due care.

any help or advice would be greatly assisted!

if thats the best a moderator could offer then perhaps im coming to the wrong website....

I would suggest you test the ram with memtest86 to check for any errors.That's usually the first culprit for instability.
