Help troubleshooting my computer problem..

I'll try being a detailed as possible.

Machine:
MB: Abit TH7-II Raid
Proc: P4 1.4, 384 RDRAM

About a month ago I started getting a lot of blue screen, memory dumps, etc.. after troubleshooting those with no success I decided to just format and reinstall XP. Well, during formatting and installation of XP I kept getting tons of errors and random rebooting of my computer.

I was also getting a check-sum memory error then asking me to insert disk and hit any key. So I was guessing maybe something was wrong with the bios.

I flashed the bios to the newest settings, cleared cmos, checked ram with memtest, and got 0 errors.

Finally I got XP installed on a brand new hard drive, but now im getting random lockups where my usb mouse turns off and my machine is frozen. I get random reboots, as well as blue screens with no description of the error. This happeneds at least twice-three times a day.

I'm consider myself somewhat computer savvy, but never dealt with anything this bad after a clean install of XP. Are these signs of bad mobo/proc/ or even ram?

I have heard of these symptoms before, this other case was caused by a leaky capacitor. I do not know if that's your case but, I would check out my mobo.

thanks, I've wanted to upgrade anyways. This setup has lasted me about 4-5 years I think, so I can't complain to much.
