with no info on your system a guess would be loose main power connector or
the power supply is going bad.

Nice to have that warning in the bios.....but as Big J said power supply and
its connections are suspect.

Normally means you have to buy a more powerfull power supply (e.g.: if
your current one is 200W total, buy a 300W or more).

It can also be (particulary when you have both the +5V and -5V displayed
and they have diffrent values), that you have some stuff loosely hooked
onto the power cords inside the computer (usually a DIY cooling fan
'connector').

Apparently your computer's power supply unit is failing.
