i5 4570
psu corsair vs 450
gskill ripjaws 8gb
samsung 320 gb hdd
1*120 led fan and 1*normal
asus h81me

fyi i disabled the anti surge protection from asus in the bios,otherwise it was restarting after only a minute or two of gaming.now it restarts or gives bsods after 10-15 minutes , i got (CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED,KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR)
 
Since the PC restarts after a while, it's not that your power supply isn't able to provide enough power. If that were the case, the computer would restart as soon as there was a high load on it.


My guess is that something, most likely the CPU, is overheating. However, like EasyLover said, we need your full specs to be able to tell you anything.
 



You seriously want surge protection if you live anywhere where lightning strikes or dirty electricity is of concern. Also, that sounds like a pretty old hard drive, I would suggest running diagnostics and making sure it's still running perfectly.

ran the hard drive diagnostic for c drive 4-5 hours ago (after searching the net for bsods) and it tokk nearly 30-40 minutes just for that one drive (chkdsk C: /f /r /x) after that pc restarted just fine so i guess i dont have any error in c drive,but that drive is from my first build(2007-8 maybe) ,so it could be dying too ?

just got my friends old psu which is Thermaltake vTR2 atx12v 2.2 and eps 12v 2.91 1000w product no W0176 ,he told me that it was ok and in his last built it couldnt power 2*hd 4850x2 so he put it out.now i'm thinking should i take the risk and plug this old psu to my pc?
 


Yes, it should be fine to use it (at least for testing) since a single HD 4850x2 has a TDP of 250W (so two of them have a TDP of 500W), whereas your card only has a TDP of 170W.

it has 4 12v and each has 20 amps on them,i will be doing the paper clip test on it now and if it works will try

edit: psu fan spins in paper clip test ,should i take the risk ?will it harm other parts in my pc? reply?anybody?
edit 2:took a long breath then connected it ,12v reading looks better than before ,less spikes


now i'm thinking too,that psu is the main prob.gonna took it to the shop from where i bought ,its under warranty if they change it or if they dont which one will be good choice ,here's the shop
