If you could list your specs that would be great.

Based purely off the wattage of your existing PSU - the Deep Cool DA500-M - I suggest the Corsair CX550M.

I have a CX450M and it's a solid PSU for the money.

i would suggest removing all but bare minimum of hardware to see if its a HW problem. it could be gpu shorting out, ram error. 

i have running my pc without GPU and the problem still exist. i don't know how to test my ram to see if there is an error.

Click Start, type mdsched.exe in the Search box, and then press Enter. Choose whether to restart the computer and run the tool immediately or schedule the tool torun at the next restart. Windows Memory Diagnostics runs automatically after the computer restarts and performs a standard memory test automatically.

A Corsair CX450M is a great fit for you.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
