Random Crashes

Hi,
I have the Asus a7n8x deluxe motherboard and have been experiencing
lots of random reboots. So many, that this weekend I've formatted my
harddrive and started from scratch. I'll give you a basic run down of
what I have on my system.
CPU: AMD Barton 2500+ Retail
Video Card: ATI 8500 DV
Case: Antec Sonata with 320 Watt PSU
HD: Western Digital 120Gb
Memory: 512 2700 DDR from PNY and Crucial (1GB total)
CD: 52x Lite On CD-RW

After doing a fresh install I am still getting periodic random reboots
and it is driving me mad! I get the blue screen of death and it
references Stop Error 0x000000c5. I'm not sure if the problem is with
the bios, memory, video card, or possibly a bad mother board. Any help
with known conflicts or suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks.

I have a very similar set-up and was also getting random reboots.
After doing the third clean install in a month I finally traced the
problem to the drivers for my ATI AIW 7500 Radeon. Apparently the only
driver that gives me stability is 6.13.10.6166. I have not had a
problem since this driver version was installed. All the newer driver
versions caused the reboots. Good luck!

I would get a heavy duty power supply.
