In my experience, lack of power will USUALLY be evident in three ways, but I'm not saying it's limited to these three ways.

1. Your PC is under full load when turned on. When everything is screaming "I NEED POWER!" and your power supply doesn't meet that, it fails. That's why alot of power supply failures happen at startup. That's when everything is under full load.

2. It crashed to the desktop (while gaming).

3. It restarts (while gaming).

You may have a lack of power, but if that's a quality 400 watt PSU, it should power that hardware. I'm guessing there's another issue. The GPU temp is fine, and I don't know if AMD CPUs run warm or no, but the motherboard and CPU seem a bit on the warm side to me. not sure if an overheating CPU or motherboard can cause the BSOD though.

Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
