I'm having a problem here with powering up my gaming rig. I'll usually hook it up to the power extension along with other appliances connected to it. I do not have any problems with it until recently changed the CPU cooler which starts giving me problems to power up. I'll have to remove some of the appliances connected to the extension cable in order for it to work. Here are the specs of my system :-

CPU - Intel Core i5 4670k @ 3.4GHz
Water Cooler - Corsair H100i
Fans - 2 Corsair SP120 Fans
Mainboard - MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Ram - Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
GPU - MSI GTX 770 2GB OC Twin Frozr
PSU -Corsair CX750M (750w)
HDD - 1TB Western Digital Blue Caviar
1 DVD/RW (Samsung)

What seems to be the problem? Is there any other way i could get it to work normally with the extension? A friend told me that i should get an AVR although i'm not entirely sure what does that do and how will it benefit me. Help is greatly needed

What's the problem? It won't start? It powers on, then off, then on?

Try turning on Load Line Calibration (LLC) in your BIOS. That might help it.

Well whenever i plug it in along with other devices on the extension cord it powers up except for my fans and just a blank screen. It works well by just plugging it in the main socket but i can't use my other devices if i do that.

It could be that your PSU isn't supplying enough sufficient continuos P-P-P-P-POWER to your computer...If you run and stop, and run and stop continuously it's worse than running the whole time.

Solution:
-Try it on other sockets in your home. If it works well, the socket you use is cursed.
-Get you PSU checked by a computer hardware place.
-Purchase a better PSU with more watts, AMPS, and sufficient continuos P-P-P-P-POWER. Like, 80+ bronze/gold/PLATINUM

I've tried by just connecting the power to the wall socket and used an extension to the other wall socket with only monitor and speakers plugged to it. It worked well and when i switched it off and put all three plugs to the extension it doesn't power up and now it won't power up with only plugging it to the other sockets as well. My PSU should be sufficient enough to provide juice for my system as i've calculated the wattage that is needed. Here's the brand of my PSU :-
