Ugh... Finally giving up on a computer

Last Saturday, I went to the dump and got a quite nice Dell Dimension E520, Pentium D Processor, and made for Windows Vista. I got all excited, brought it home, plugged it in, and BAM! I got a message saying "Please reinstall a version of this file (file name), please insert recovery disc and boot from CD ROM. Ok, no big deal, I put in one of my many Windows Vista recovery discs, installed a new version of the OS and restarted it. I got a Blue Screen of Death. I then inserted my DBAN (Hard Drive eraser) disc and erased the hard drive. About 2 hours later when that was done, i reinstalled Windows Vista, finished, and BAM! another blue screen. I ran a program to see if my hard drive was corrupted, its not. Ready to part this computer and bring it back to the dump, any suggestions?!?!?!?
