Hello guys, I've decided to ask you for your help cause I am not sure what to think anymore.
So, recently my PC has begun crashing while playing video games or under any other stress related activities (such as rendering etc). The crash results in a sudden blacksreen and then shutdown of the PC, then it reboots itself. Most of the times the reboot is reaaaaaally slow, one time it was corrupted in some way (windows could not read my profile). Today I got a BSOD, so I decided to run a memtest, but everything with the memory is fine.
The PC crashes only under stress, I don't believe it's due to overheating (I've been monitoring the temps and they're fine, both CPU and VGA). I bought this PC (used) a year ago, everything was fine with it, but the guy said that the PSU is a little old and may begin to malfunction in the future.
Here are my specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA770-ud3 AMD 770
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Callisto
Memory: Kingstorn HyperX DDR2 2x2gb
GPU: Geforce GT240 1gb
I am running Microsoft Windows 7 (6.1) Ultimate Edition 64-bit Service Pack 1 (Build 7601).
I updated my VGA drivers 3 days ago, but the problem occured yesterday.
Also, I have no idea what brand my PSU is, tried looking at it but I gathered no information whatsoever, so shitty no-name I believe.
I've been monitoring the wattage using HWmonitor and Speedfan. The voltage on +12 vary between 12,02 and 11,10 (once it dropped to 5 and crashed while I was playing). Same with +3.3.

I've already ordered a new PSU, hopefully it is the case.
Halp.
