download a memtest86 CD, boot it, have it run a stress test overnight. If it passes with no errors you've proved the ram innocent. Running prime95 (24hrs per test type) in windows will stress your CPU and to an extent your mobo/ram. If it's erroring out you've got a hardware problem.

If your new CPU uses more power than the old one but you're using the same heatsink it might be overheating and crashing. For a socketA board motherboard monitor should be able to keep an eye on your CPU temp. If you're going above 60C it might be a problem, 70C definitely would be. To test the PSU, get a multimeter and with the system fully loaded check the voltage between +5V(red) and ground(black) and +12V(yellow) and ground in the ATX plug. Depending on the probes you might need to supplement with bent paperclips to make contact. +-5% is within spec anything outside is a problem.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.
