I've tried everything updated all drivers don't know what's 'causing it if it's a hardware or software issue I've tried Burnin Test but a few minutes into it computer locks up. Sometimes I get a BSOD with FFFFFA60005EC180 no driver message. I'm runing an AMD dual processor and 2 Ati Radeon X1650 cards. I can't even run an animated background without it eventually crashing. Do I need to attach any files?

Here seems to be a solution at Nvidia Forums

It appears that I have been able to resolve my BSOD issue. Installed a program called Hot CPU Tester Pro 4.41 and during the first 5 minutes of running the burn in test my pc blue screened twice. Powered down the unit and removed the cpu heat sink. After cleaning the heat sink and cpu reapplied Artic Silver 5 thermal paste following instructions found on their website for Dual core chips. Ran the burn in test again and though it failed 2 test the burn in was able to run for 6 hours without my system crashing. I also have been able to play mkv files and games without blue screening.

It could very well be an overheating issue. I'd recommend installing a CPU temperature monitor and use your system (in Windows) and keep an eye on the temperature. If the readings go too high, that could explain your issue.

As already recommended, you should dismantle your CPU/Heatsink/fan. Use some alcohol to rub off the excess thermal paste on the bottom of your heatsink and apply some fresh thermal paste.

Also ensure that your fan is running properly (make sure the blades are clean and free from dirt/dust; perhaps even re-grease the ball-bearing in the fan so it spins at its optimal rate).

Let us know what happens.
