I am using a VS 550 power supply for GTX 950 Strix and a core i5 4460 for several months. Recently, got black screen reboot randomly when the game loads and while in-game.
checked windows 10's event viewer it shows :
Event 41, Kernel Power
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
Reinstalled windows and drivers didn't help.
note : * problem happens while game is running except doing common tasks,browsing the internet , leaving the computer on 24/7 . *
