A 550W PSU that only has a +12 Volt continuous current rating of 25 Amps? That's a joke and the reason why it's so cheap. That PSU is designed for old long ago obsolete systems that draw most of their power from the +3.3V and +5V rails.

A modern 550W PSU should have a +12 Volt continuous current rating of around 45 Amps since a modern system will draw most of its power from the +12V rail(s).
