Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Chieftec 600W
Might want to elaborate on the model of the unit. You merely stated the brand and the advertsied wattage of the unit.

As for your PSU, please source a reliably built PSU that has at least 650W of power for your entire system's disposal and see if the issue persists.

One other thing you could do is check and see what the BIOS version is at this moment of time.
