Put new PSU in today - quite easy. Powered up, all fine until it got past the XP login to my settings and the familiar music jittered and stuck! PC closed down.

So not power then. Could not get it to come on again, but I noticed the Dell power light was flickering amber meaning problem device so I remove the 7600 Graphics card and replaced it with the 5200. Came back on.

My 7600 card is still under 12 months warranty and the sellers have agreed to have it back to check it - faulty and it is replaced, okay and they send it back.

BUT later today I got another Blue Screen. Just about to start up iTunes and it went.

So what next. I have used the old RAM and had no difference to the new RAM. Still goes.

Clearly the graphics card may be an issue but it still happens on the old one too, although not so severe.

Is it worth smacking in my XP disc and doing a repair?

Have eliminated a few suspects but this is baffling.
