You need to get a qualified electrician to check out your electrical supply & the distribution board in your home.
This is absolutely essential as I cannot recommend or condone any DIY work where domestic power is concerned - - way too dangerous.

Thankyou for answers, i dont think i can easily ask my parents about calling some professional to do this unless they saw problems on their own, they wont believe if im just complaining because of my computer, i wanna ask if changing psu can solve this or like psu or any other device?

NO, it's a house electrical issue, not a PC issue.

Need to have an electrician come out and determine what the issue is.

The Refrigerator and whatever circuit the PC is hooked up to shouldn't be the same.

Something is defiantly wrong with the house wiring.

You can call the power company to check the exterior lines. It could be on their end. I did this when I was experiencing brownouts and surges when a high draw item kicked on (compressor). In a house I was remodeling. Do lights in your house brighten? Perhaps some brighten and some dim?

It should be free, the extrerior lines are their lines. It turned out I was right about a fault in their neutral line. A squirrel chewed through it. Found out from their lineman it was a common problem. Also found out that whenever there is a couple seconds power loss and a loud bang in the distance. It’s a squirrel getting smoked by a transformer.

If it isn’t the power companies problem. Your parents should call an electrician. It isn’t just an inconvenience. A wiring problem can be a fire or shock waiting to happen.

I used to live in a very old home where the wiring was ancient and they had to convert over to a "breaker" style. When doing so they didn't put the proper load distribution on a few of the lines, mostly in that they probably couldn't. I had to be sure I was on different poles of the breaker with the TV/entertainment center/computer and fridge/ac. I absolutely had to turn off appliances in house to use the dryer.
