I had this issue a few nights ago, its a fresh build and I had fixed it by loosening the cpu heat sink a little bit. It must have been over tightened at the factory, as soon as I did this the issue was gone. I just started my machine up and it appears the Issue is back but must be for a different reason, could it be the 550w power supply isn't enough? I don't really do much other than play WoW or portal 1-2 any and all help would be fantastic thanks.

the system is a corsair 550w psu
amd 8350 am3+ cpu
asus m5a99fx pro mobo
2 basic 500g hard drives
nvidia Geforce 550 ti gpu
and a basic dvd rw optical

I just went through my bios and was snooping around to see if any of my settings had gotten changed somehow, none of them had. then I glanced over through my case window and the light is off again. I'm slightly confused but at least it seems the error fixed itself? I'm guessing at some point it will show up again but for now I suppose I can give a sigh of relief.
