What power supply do you have? The 650 and that CPU will draw very little power, but since it only has issues under load, that tells me that it's more than likely a PSU problem. Also make sure that the C6 and C7 power states are disabled in the BIOS if you don't have a power supply that supports them. They can cause the PSU to cut power without warning, but not in a state of load.

If you would download HWMonitor and then watch your temperatures. You might have an overheating issue. I know you said it wasn't but have you checked your sensors temps? If so, what were they.

checked my bios and i found nothing to do with a c6 c7 power state so im kind of lost on what to do if there is a fix that i can get a new psu and it would fix it all or somthing im not seeing or missing
