I have a compaq presario desktop which BSOD or Auto Reboot after random interval after I managed to log in to windows.

I have tried the below but BSOD / auto reboot still happens;

1. Using compaq recovery partition to recover the desktop.

2. Reformatting and clean reinstalling Windows (Not with compaq recovery disk). Updated drivers and relevant patches.

3. I have viewed the BSOD windows minidmp log which points to ntkrnlpa.exe driver is the cause of it. There are multiple other different bug string as well.

4. Checked Windows Event Log, it always just states windows shut down unexpectedly. No other error info showed.

From the above done, I was thinking it should not a windows/reg/driver issue.
Are there any ways/software that can do a hardware test to see if there are faulty in any way?

Anyone with any advice on how I can test which might be the hardware that might be causing the problem? :(

There is no beeping sound and I can start up the com and use for a short while before BSOD happens..

As it is a compaq presario PC, it comes with PC-Doctor software which I ran multiple times and all the below pass.

-HDD
-RAM
-CPU

It is the PSU, MoBo and Graphic Card which I do not know how to test them.

I realised that hang / reboot / BSOD happens when I do more intensive stuff like opening 8 - 10 tabs on browser, loaded you tube video on 1 tab.

Desktop also always hangs when I try to run 'Windows Experience Index' on Windows 7. I thought that could test which is the spoil culprit.
