My computer keeps randomly restarting(Kernel Power 41)

id say even though gigabytes site says that 500w is enough its trying to get more power then it has do you have a larger psu that you can test with?

Take it out of your system

Oh but than how would I run my PC WITHOUT THE GPU powered?

Plug your monitor into your motherboard instead of the gpu

No problem :)

This whole exchange right here is a great example of why I love this forum. As I was reading along I was waiting to see a sign of you beginning to lose your patience and it never happened , no matter how many times you were asked to repeat yourself. And it's not just you, it seems like most everyone. Why can't the rest of the internet be like this? :-)

Tell me about it! I love this community so much.

I've never been on a forum where I've felt so invited to ask questions, even if they are stupid.

I feel like it's ok to not be and expert :)

That error 41 is because it rebooted without shutting down properly. Might be power related. Are you overclocking your cpu at all? I had that problem when I overlocked my cpu. It was fine normally but when I stressed it while gaming, my pc crashed. Had to raise voltage a little to stabilize.

no I have not overclocked anything in my computer but I can now use my computer without it restarting but only with the sound muted does anyone know how I can use my computer with sound without it restarting?
