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).

Likewise, one of the guys at my LAN party was in the same boat.

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.

Because it's interpreted as shouting, and therefore rude.
I'd get the following PSU for your system:

450W is enough, if you get a Corsair but it should specifically be this unit because other cheap 450W units go bang and cause you issues.

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