PC randomly reboots while playing games and streaming

Hello all!  Just put together my new gaming pc a couple weeks ago.  I'm having some issues with streaming games (and sometimes when not).  Not sure if this is the correct forum or not, but here we go.


1. At first the system would just completely lock up and I would have to do a hard reset.  After 150+ Windows updates, this stopped.


2. It went from the hard lock up to a bried (2 sec) BSOD and system reboot.


3. It's no longer giving me a bried BSOD, but just doing a complete reboot.


These all product a Kernal 41 error event.  I've looked this up online and it could be a million different issues.  I did a fresh in stall on Windows again and that helped with the hard lockups, but again it's still reseting while gaming and especially when streaming via Twitch.tv.


Here's my rig:


  • Asrock 990FX Extreme 4 AM3+
  • AMD FX-8350
  • Gigabyte 7970 OC
  • Coolermaster GX750w PSU
  • Corsair XMS 8gb RAM 1600
  • Kingston HyperX 3K 120gb
  • Toshiba 3TB HDD
  • Windows 7 home

This predominately happens while streaming Diablo 3 with Xsplit or OSB on Twitch.tv.  However, i've had this happen on other games radomly as well as during Google hangouts.  


I've ran Memtest for 18.5 hrs with no issues on the ram side.  


I've read a few articles where AMD 7970's don't play well with Diablo 3 or Xsplit, but i'm having this issue with OSB and in other instances.  


As this is my frist build for myself, im at a loss for words.  Looking for some advice on where to troubleshoot and try to figure this out.  Any help will be greatly appreciated! 


FYI, as this is my first build, I have no spare parts to eliminate specific parts.


Oh, and by the way, nice to meet you all :)  I built this rig specifially for gaming and streaming.  I stream for charity on Twitch.tv, but unfortunately I've had nothing but bad luck with this build so far.


Thanks!

Use this program to test memory stability with all available memory for 10 passes. It sounds to me like it's a RAM issue. Report back afterwards with the results :)

Is memtest not a good program?  I ran it for 18.5 hrs without any issues?

Clean the dust out of the computer (including the power supply) and check that all fans are running normally.

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

First of all, dont use Xsplit download Open Broadcaster Software.

It's free and works so much better.

Also do you have a overclock on your CPU if you have how much Ghz and which voltage?

If you aren't sure, download CPU-Z and place a validation link here
