I brought a new cpu. A10 6800k. I put it in my mother board, started up and worked fine. After about 1-2 mins on desktop it either freezes or blue screen memory dumps or restarts.
It runs fine in safe mode tho I tryed it for about 15 and there was no problem.

So ive just got a new PSU Zalman ZM500-GS. iam running the cpu, NVIDA GTX650 Graphic card. 4gb ram. 2 HDD's and cd drive. Will this psu be able to handle these?

Stupid thing to ask but did you put thermal compound on the cpu before installing the heatsink or whatever your using to cool the cpu? It could be overheating.
And to your second question. Yes, your PSU is more then enough for your rig.
