Vista problems

Hi I bought a computer from Velocity Micro. It has a Geforce 9500GT graphics card, a 500gb Hitachi hardrive, and 2 gig memory. It runs about 2.4 ghz. However, I have been having major issues with this computer. I get constant bsods. So far I have reinstalled the driver, replaced a bad memory stick with a replacement, and updated everything I basically have on my computer, including the mouse. However, I have done many tests which revealed that there is nothing wrong with the hardware. There was a problem with my belkin wireless card so i replaced it with a Ralink wireless LAN card. However, i am still getting bsods and the techs at velocity say that there might be a issue with this card too. Now i am just speculating but its too weird to have 2 internet cards which malfunction, one of them which is only a few months old. Can someone just tell me if it were the two so called "malfunctioning" cards or it might be something else.

He means the error information displayed by the BSOD.

Usually this problem is caused by DRAM, I assume you have run the memory test. Another thing might be the PSU.

Yea I ran the memory test and also something called Hot CPU tester Pro 4. Both came up fine (although i did have to replace one bad memory stick). Also, did you mean the word information by the BSOD or the number?
