Yes, the PSU was changed to a better one.

Heat can be another issue, as well, as flaky power supplies.

When you installed 7, did you install it onto a newly created partition?
A common side effect of faulty memory is data corruption, so what I usually recommend in severe cases where there are a lot of memory errors, or memory is likely to have been faulty for some time is a clean install to clear any corruption.
Run MemTest:

Let us know how you go.
Yes, I have a fairly new computer (one-year-old). I installed chipset updates. I deleted both partitions and then created a 100gb partition for windows 7. I installed it there.

Ran CHKDSK as Arc suggested and at least it didn't find any bad sectors. I will try memtest now.

Which memtest file I should download?

Thank you both for your help so far!
