Hi guys,

I just got these hardwares separately (new)

AMD FX8350 + Cryorig H7
GIGABYTE GA970A gaming
Kingston HyperX 8gb x2 1866MHz
500gb SSD
2 x 1TB HDD
Gigabyte 750Ti
Corsair VS 550

when i use it for normal surfing everything is fine.

but when i do multi tasking, or gaming , the screen will go black and i will need to restart from the power on/off.
Even reset cant boot the system

Also , this system fails the stress test, same thing..it goes black screen halfway through

* i tried using a lower end sapphire HD6670 and do the stress test , the same black screen appears too.

Any idea?

i did a simple PSU calculation http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator, and it says load voltage 337W only
 
I strongly suspect lack of power either from PSU or MB itself. Corsair PSU are not renown for best quality. Did you connect all 8 pins on ATX_12v connector ?
Is that wattage you calculated Recommended wattage ? Some lower end PSUs don't deliver all wattage promised.

As a correction, certain series of PSUs from Corsair are not known for their quality (VS, CM, CMX, Select RM series).
Their RMi, RMx, HXi, and AXi series are actually of very good quality.

I did the amd overdrive stability and it went black screen in a minute, but the CPU and system fans are still running.

If it's a psu underpower, would everything actually goes off?
