Those STOP codes all indicate a hardware problem of some kind. The hard part is figuring out which one: memory, disk subsystem (raid controller & disks), motherboard (check for bad capacitors!), cpu, etc.
As you found out already, a bad PSU can cause memory problems. I've seen bad PSUs damage anything attached - drives and motherboards alike, even if the damage isn't visible to the naked eye. STOP code 0xF4 is BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO STOP code 0x21A is STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED STOP code 0x80 is an NMI error, ie RAM ECC failure STOP code 0x77 is KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR - could not access certain blocks in the page file, I usually see this when the hard disk has bad sectors that affect the page file. Given the wide variety of STOP codes a good visual inspection of the motherboard would be first on my to do list, calling Dell for a replacement MB would be #2 - I'm assuming its a Dell since you're downloading OpenManage. If the machine isn't under warranty I would definitely be making the case to get a new one. BTW, this site is invaluable for helping decode the STOP codes: http://www.aumha.org/a/stop.htm.
