Hi all,

I build a computer last night for a relative and could not get a clean install on the system, always got BSOD :(
I tried XP Pro (error), Vista Ultimate x86 and even Vista Ultimate x64 but always had some issue. I did remove all external USB/Firewire/Sound/TV Tuner card etc so it was only running on Mainboard/1 Ram Stick/HDD/ DVD Burner and Video card.
Still get an BSOD so i changed the RAM for one out of my wifes computer but it didnt make a difference. Hate to think my sister inlaw got a faulty product as she has gone back home out west with reciept and had to leave the computer with me to resolve the issue.
Any ideas what maybe causing this as i had a late night on it and i am to damn tired to think of what else apart from a fauly pasrt it could be, any help would be greatly apprciated :)

Parts are: ASUS P5E mobo, G Skill DDR2-1066mhz 2x1Gb pair, WD 640Gb sata2, ASUS GTX260, Pioneer DVD burner sata, other parts not plugged in Extreem HI-FI Sound, TV Tuner card, EXT USB/Firewire ports etc etc.
