Constant Flats- I'm stumped and need help!

Hi all-
I own a 2005 Felt F65 with Shimano WR-550 wheels.
I was having flats every time i rode out, but i recently switched the stock tires to Continental Gatorskins.
Even with these tires, i am having flats every couple days. I use different manufactures tubes each time usually. The rim tape covering the spokes is flawless, and there isn't anything poking around in the tires.
I ride through pretty "dirty" surroundings, but that's why i have Continental Gators!

I use an electric air compressor- is this the source of my issues? Maybe an electric air compressor cannot get the psi up high enough or brings in air too quickly?
Is it possible that my installation is wrong? I had another friend do one side, and i haven't had a flat there, yet atleast. Any other things that could be giving me flats?

Thanks for your help!
