Worst day for a comp Owner

OK i used that program to remove unwanted drivers from my computer then when i started it up about 8 hours later this is what happend:

The computer would continually restart when it tried to load the screen with the winxp logo. Then figuring that it uninstalled the drivers i was using i tried to start it in safemode and it would do the same thing and restart. Then eventually it said there was a bad memory sector(blue screen of death) Then the bios said that the comp failed the MEM test. I found which stick was bad and took it out. Computer continued to once again restart at the winxp logo screen. Then one of my HDs started makeing a bunch of noise so i inplugged that. And next it said that it once again failed MEM test so i unplugged everything except my Graphics card and now it wont post and is hung. Kinda doing the same thing it did a long time ago when my CPU went dead.

So right now i think i have lost both sticks of MEM, CPU, HD, and possibly my Graphics card.

My specs are as follows

asus 87NX deluxe (cant remember the model name exactly but its a popular board) bios v1.07 final pc version 2.0
2x512 sticks of pc 2700 (333mhz ram)
Maxtor 80gig
maxtor 40 gig
fx5600 256mb
amx 2800+
430watts antec PS
winxp pro

I have reset my bios a few times during my attempt at debugging.

Im going home to try another cpu that i have. I dont know what the Hell im going to do.

well i feel helped, LOL

I found out what was wrong with my comp.

When i used that program to get rid of my drivers it really got rid of all my drivers, including my motherboard driver and graphics drivers.

I ended up after testing a bunch of things with another 512 stick of ram, so i have a total of 1.5 gigs of ram.

How i fixed it was, I used the winxp disk to repair windows, it asked for the missing drivers I told it where to get them and i was all set.

Thanks for the help, Oh wait i didnt get any
