Hello, these last few days my computer has been crashing for no reason, sometimes it freezes other times it just reboots itself. So I went and checked on the event viewer to see what was causing it, and this appeared:

so I got really worried because I recently upgraded my GPU from a msi r7 370 oc armor 2gb to a nvidia 1050ti 4gb and I've added to my one 1TB HDD a 120GB ssd and for a psu of 430w(80+),
I don't really know if it can hold up all of this.
down here are my specs and everything that's usually connected to my pc

so I'd like your professional opinion on the subject
thank you!

Kernel power problems tend to be resulting from poor power supplies, your CX430 was an OK power supply when it was new, but was not typically recommended for gaming builds due to lower quality components. a modern CX450 would be a large improvement, what is your budget to fix this problem?

Technically, it can hold up all of those parts, but perhaps the unit you got isn't the most reliable and it's already starting to show it's age.

Before thinking about buying a new PSU, perhaps you can test with a friend's to see if the problem goes away?
Is your CX the green-labeled? They were quite infamous... The newer counterpart, with gray label as much better.

If you cannot afford to make that test, we can suggest you a new one, would you mind stating a budget?
