Computer Halting

Hi.

I have been having trouble with my computer.

My computer Halts/Crashes when doing something that's heavy load, for example: Rendering a video in premiere pro,Playing Battlefield 4 and 3,etc. It doesn't even say a error, it just shuts off. 

Please tell me what could be wrong. I was thinking it was my power supply because it's a bad make and company but I don't want to buy something if it doesn't fix it.

Computer specs:

MB: ASrock n68c GS-FX

CPU: AMD FX-6300

RAM: Don't know the company but: 8GB (2 x 4GB)

GPU: Radeon HD 7770
HDD: 1 x Western Digital 500GB: Don't know what series.

PSU: Dynex DX-PS500W

Thanks.

Dynex is one of 2 psu brands owned by Best Buy(the other being RocketFish)  so yes, shit psu

I would not know how to look for that in the event viewer. Is there a tutorial or can you tell me how?

Start>Control panel>Admin tools>Event Viewer let it load up will take a little bit to load, in the middle you will see a column that says event type anything causing a crash to power off will be critical if it was caused by the psu you will have one under error something like kernel power.

Thank you for telling me that. So now I know what is wrong with my computer.

Obviously do the usual check everything is fully connected test another psu or use a multimeter with the current one if you are good with electricity i can explain how to dupe it to power on, with a really bad psu the rails should be out of ATX specs without a load.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Kz8jX What about this power supply? a Corsair RM750

I don't have first hand experience with it but anything 80+Gold certified should be excellent. I approve it.
