Problem reinstalling Windows - think it's a hardware issue

I'm having a lot of problems with my pc now. Right now, it keeps blue
screening when it boots into windows. I've tried reinstalling
windows, but it says setup cannot copy the file:xxx. I've read about
this and it points to memory errors. I've swapped out the memory once
and still have this problem. I've run memtest on my original memory
and sometimes it gives me errors, lots of them, and other times it
runs without any errors. I've tried the install on a new hard drive,
multiple OS disks and a different dvd drive. The only thing I can
think of as being the problem is a bad motherboard or power supply.
Is there a way to test the psu? I don't have a spare to swap it out
with. In my BIOS it says my psu fan speed is about 750 rpm, and it
shows it in red. What's it supposed to be? Does anyone else have
any other things I can try? The pc ran fine for about 2 years, then
it did this once. I took it into a pc repair shop and they said
everything tested OK. When I got it home I was able to reinstall
everything OK. About 2 months later, the same thing happened again.
The fact that my pc keeps blue screening and I can't reinstall
Windows, I'm guessing this is a hardware issue.
