    First of all, whether or not this fixes the problem, get rid of the EZCool power supply, those units are not only unreliable, they're also unsafe. Immediately replace it with a quality unit like the Corsair VX 450W (trust me, that will be fine for your system, it will only use about 150W)

    Yeah I remember a guy having the same problem as you and he fixed it just by switching out with a decent PSU(a Corsair 550VX in his case).

    Yep, that's a faulty PSU. Before it does any damage get rid of the thing, they're dangerous.
    Next time though, no caps and no bad words.

    A dell power supply? They're only compatible with Dell systems, not standard form PCs like yours. Which country do you live in?
