Random blue screens at random intervals (have tried replacing all hardware
and clean format)

Help... I recently built a machine for a local business (as an act of
kindness, not for profit) and it seems to be cursed.  At random intervals,
the blue screen of death appears with different messages, and after pushing
any key, the whole machine often powers down.  This happens randomly at
boot, during idle time, or during the execution of the financial software,
with no consistent message for each event.  Here are a few of the messages
that have been encountered:

...0E at 0028:C0005338 VXD VMM(01) + 00004338

...0E at 0028:E0D41D5E

...0D at 0028:C02B003F VXD IFSMGR(04) + 00007754


Is there anyone who can make sense of this and perhaps provide a possible
solution.  I have replaced all of the hardware except the CPU itself and
the case/power supply.  Any tips or clue would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks.
