Kernel-Power 41

[RazerFanBoy]

My friends having this issue. He needs to use my account.

 

Specs: FX-6300

270X Gigabyte Windforce

Corsair CX500M

8GB Vengeance Pro 1600mhz

WD Blue 1TB

 

It happens randomly, but sometimes it feels like its triggered, for example mashing multiple keys on the keyboard or playing music while gaming.

No overclocks on anything.

 

Thanks in advance a response and answer would be very much appreciated.

What are your temperatures? I've had Kernel-Power multiple times by overheating.

What are your temperatures? I've had Kernel-Power multiple times by overheating.

53 100% load. for the CPU, 65 for the GPU 100%. No restarts during those.

Do you have a stock cooler on the CPU? Can you use a stress test for the CPU and GPU to see the maximum temperatures you are getting?

Stock cooler, We ran AIDA 64 on both of them and those were the results.

Huh, well that's weird. Can you spot any "burning" mark on the CPU cooler plug or anywhere else?

The crashes, do they produce the standard bluescreen, or is it a complete power loss?

A bluescreen would normally indicate driver problems, sudden loss of power is more concerning as the system believes that its in serious danger of damage and kills the power immediately, though this could also be caused by a driver problem (one where the driver isn't configured to respond correctly)

It doesn't sound like an overtemp issue, you'd experience heavy speed throttling on the CPU, also overtemp errors would be recorded in the system log.

The only other thing that could cause immediate powerloss would be dirty power (outside operating range) for the power systems on the PC. This can't be dealt with by software, so the system would just immediately power off.
