Does This Mean a Faulty Power Supply?

I think I may be having a problem with the power supply.

The computer turns off without any warning at random times and won't start up again until I unplug it, leave it a few seconds then plug it back in.

I suspect it could be the power supply, but all the components of the computer are basically new, a few months old, I do not overclock.

I use it for rendering some videos, and this may put stress on the computer, but the thing is that the computer doesn't usually turn itself off while this is happening. It just turns itself off at random times, even if I am doing something simply like browsing the internet.

I have downloaded hwinfo and here are some screen shots. I have no idea how to interpret the results:

Any help you can offer, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

it keeps cutting off power at random moments, even while I am browsing. One question: can these power cuts damage the other equipment? If so, then I probably need to just get a new PSU and hope that is the problem, because I can't imagine what else the problem is since everything in the comptuer is practically new.

I guess that is the most logical step. This sounds very sad: I don't have any friends that I could borrow a power supply for it. The circles I move in are not people who are into computers.

From what I can tell, everything points to a fault in the power supply. I'll see if I can borrow one, but if not, I may take the risk and buy a new one and hope that fixes the problem.

my question now is am I putting the rest of the computer at risk with these sudden power offs?
