Solution
Well while you have a 500W, if it is a cheapy one, it may actually be outputting 430W or even less when you're putting demand on it with the GPU (gaming I assume). The description of your issue sounds like the PSU maybe faulty.

Otherwise I would do some of these basics
Download and run MSI Afterburner, run some of the games that crash, what temps are you getting when underload?
Open Computer, Can Air dust out the bunnies and use paint brush on the vents, coolers, fans, etc.

Did you install all Windows Updates including OPTIONALS (except Bing)

Download and run Slim Drivers, install all the latest updates but you don't need to reboot until you do the last update

Remove whatever AV your using and go to www.filehippo.com and download...

Remove whatever AV your using and go to www.filehippo.com and download Avira, AVG, Panda or Comodo (DO NOT get AVAST! it no longer reliable and the Forums were hacked) and do a full system scan - this repeatedly has resolved alot of people issue relying on MS Essentials.

Download Malwarebytes do a full system scan (AV doesn't pick up alot of malware) - this resolved almost ALL other similiar posts to date as most had Malware the AV didn't pick up.
Repeat the AV/Malware scans till the system comes up clean.


Tell us the results and lets see what we have.
