What other components do you have in your PC? 350W PSU might not be big enough to handle all of your equipment, it then BSOD's due to lack of power. That could be the cause.

Can you try entering in safemode to see whether you can go to scandisk or have a registry repair software which you can run.
Me i would use mini pe live cd as it has all the utilities neede to fix it or use UBCD(Ultimate Boot CD).

Does your motherboard have on-board graphics? A clash here is quite common.
