The issue seems to be linked to the surge protector, not the power supply unit directly. I considered sending it over but decided to narrow down the options. I looked for an AVR at a nearby store—it’s affordable and more powerful than a standard surge protector. It has a 1200VA rating, which is higher than my 600W PSU, so there’s a chance it can handle it. The PC is running smoothly now, playing games without problems after three days. Would buying this AVR be safe for my PSU to provide the correct power?

If you have a good PSU with active power factor correction, 1200VA should suffice. Consider purchasing a Kill-A-Watt to accurately measure the VA your PC will consume at expected loads.
