HI,
I just bought this computer which is refurbished.When i started it the first time i am having problems with it since then.First of all whenever i try to open any of the programs it crashes and i have been sending error reporting all the time.Secondly, After every 5 or more minutes the system restarts by itself. I disabled the option of automatic restarting the pc but then i see bsod ,every time with different error messages eg, harware driver errors ,oxoooooo8e, oxcoooooo5, ox8056b4f6,0xb5b13948,ox00000000 and many more like these..Can anyone please help me out here??

You can look up the Stop Errors here:
http://www.aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm

However, with all those errors in different areas it is most likely hardware failure. If you got the machine with a clean install of Windows on it, that makes the possibility of this being hardware failure greater. If you got the machine without a clean install of Windows (someone else's stuff already on it), you should do the clean install. If the machine won't stay up long enough for you to install Windows, it most definitely is hardware. Return the computer to where you bought it.
