psu main suspect

A quality 500W PSU would be enough for your system, but HEC is not known for quality PSUs, so that's what I'd suspect first too.

ok then guys what PSU do you recommend???

 

[godbrother]

I would suggest a 600W OCZ Power Supply, you can get them really cheap these days, and there very good quility.

Hope this helps.

do you know any other brands? because there are no OCZ products here in the philippines...

Antec, Seasonic, Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, and Enermax are all decent.
