Did you accidently unplug the CPU fan's cable etc? What do the temps read?
Try putting your hardware under load e.g Prime95 for 100% cpu load and FurMark for 100% GPU load to see if your power supply is the problem. etc. |
if its running with windows 8 under load there should be no problem with the powersupply(and its not a to small powersupply, 600w should be easyly enough)
try other browsers, mb flash isnt the problem.
and are u sure its not the HDD? install linux and try to use flash on the new HDD.

PSU can be defective no matter the wattage and random spikes can shutdown your computer. A different harddrive may cause those spikes it also might be broken (the HDD) I once had one that randomly renamed folders and files into crap like 4&$(/)"$)=(=$")($ other than that it worked perfectly fine.
@OP
Try using another SATA port on your mainboard and try another cable too.
Also what browsers do you use? Chrome might be the problem. Try using another browser and if nothing crashes then you know its chrome. Try disabling the built-in Flash "plugin"
Fire up Chrome and type about:plugins into the address bar then hit enter.
Click on Details in the top right of the window to expand the plug-in details.
Find the Flash plug-in that's listed as being in the Chrome directory and hit Disable.
Use the standalone flash player that you can download at the adobe site instead. (its not as slick tho)

its (most of the time) not the PSU if the system is running fine with another HDD.
its a HDD or softwareproblem,HDD, windows 7, drivers, browser or flash.
1. check with another browser(he reinstalled flash i guess), use firefox and chrome for the test, naked versions from the offizial site
2. if that doesnt make a difference, update drivers
3. if that doesnt make a difference, install windows 7 on the windows 8 hdd and test again.
4. if that doesnt make a difference, well thats a real problem. a working but broken psu is hard to test.
and use the same cables everytime u test the windows 8 vs windows 7 hdd. u can test other cable combinations, but make sure u test em with both HDDs.
5. if u can live with windows 8, just use windows 8 and both HDDs, that should be a working workaround if u cant find the error.
