you will verify that it's your psu, right?

Well I'm almost positive it's my PSU. The fan on it barely spins, like the bearing is bad or something. My video card isn't running hot, cpu isn't running hot.

And it's only a 520W.

If you want locally just find a corsair, your going to pay WAY more than you would on Amazon/Newegg though.

You would lose your warranty; just buy an extender.

Yep, Dynex is Best Buy's house brand and I wouldnt put too much faith in their power supplies, and doubt it's capable of supplying it's rated power.

Even if it wasnt the cause, I wouldnt be able to sleep at night with that thing in my computer. My Corsair has been running flawlessly for years including several 24hr stress tests for my OC.
