the cause of these error messages?

I'm pretty sure some of my hardware is going bad, but I'd like to know all of the possible reasons. I thought I had bought some pretty good parts just a year ago, so I'm wondering why so many things are going wrong.

I'm getting the following bluescreens:

BAD_POOL
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
IRQL_LESS_THAN

(I don't remember if there was an 'l' there or not, I have it set to reboot on bluescreen so it flashes by pretty quickly)

There are a bunch of others, I just can't remember them all. If anybody can help me diagnose the problem(s), or think of otherways that I could diagnose them, that'd be great. Thanks. Liam Morley

another issue I'm having is "PAGE_FAULT_IN_A_NONPAGED_AREA". The error I get from submitting these to MS's Online Crash Analysis is "A device driver installed on your system caused the problem, but we cannot determine the precise cause." Liam Morley
