Welcome to TechSpot!

Can you give us the exact details on your PowerSupply please?
It looks like it might be some generic PSU with no properly controlled power-output.
If available, borrow another brand-name - like Enermax or Antec - PSU from someone (preferably 400Watts or over) and put that in your PC to see if that makes any difference.
 
sure the psu came with case
tsunomi
vg-a350atx
+3.3v 14amp
5v 23amp
12v 14amp
5vsb 2amp
5v 0.5amp
12v 0.8amp
ps-on
p.g
this is all on a sticker on side of psu . no access to other psu
 
As I said before, try another PSU.
Yours unfortunately is a generic one with very limited capacity.
Go buy an Enermax or Antec or Thermaltake of at leat 450Watts to cover your needs.

I don't think a 450w PSU is needed for his system. A 350w should be more sufficient as long as it's a good & solid brand/model.
 
went out and bought a massive 550w psu .
its a winner all voltages read correct
cheers realblackstuff you know your stuff
