Solution
Sounds like either overheating or faulty power supply. I bought that exact EVO labs power supply myself as a replacement for my old core 2 duo as I needed one quick and it was the only available half decent one at my local store. It WAS NOT half decent. It burnt out after 1 weeks use and my system never worked right again (used to BSOD all the time) This might sound excessive but I would not personally turn on your machine again until I replaced that power supply.
