hi all i've resently bought a custom pc, the specs are as follows

Sapphire HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E Graphics Card
500W PSU - With 12cm Blue LED Fan 20+4pin 1x SATA 1x PCI-E
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium

been having problems since i bought it, occasionally it will work fine, but other times i constantly get blue screens and errors

stop codes i've gotten so far are -
0x00000050
0x0000005c
0x0000008E - Mostly this one
0xC0000005 - and this one

updated windows to SP2 and it seamed to work ok for a day or 2, but am now getting the problems again.
