Not knowing anything about the specs of the computer "built for you", it's
difficult to say.
This is a possibility: the people who put your PC together may have skimped
on the Power Supply (PSU). I've seen the behavior you describe on PC's with
marginal PSU's that was cured by simply replacing the PSU with one that
supplied more amperage on the 12v rails.
In your shoes, I'd take the PC back to the builder, demonstrate the problem
and ask that a "better" PSU be installed and tested. I have no idea what, if
any, warranty you have, but even if you have to pay a bit more for an
upscale PSU, it's worth it if it cures your problem.
