Go into BIOS and run a check first.

Changing OS really wont help much if the PSU is dying. If you switch to something lightweight (DSL PuppyLinux) all you'te doing is kicking the can further down the road.

    What I'm saying is switching to Windows or MacOS wont change anything, it's a hardware issue.

    BIOS is esc or F10. You have to press one of those a whole bunch as soon as you turn the PC on
