Kernel-power 41 (random reboot, NO BSOD)

[Kespertive]

What could be the problem? I checked event viewer, no errors except for this kernel-power thing.

 

 

It's not caused by high temperatures for me (40-55°C GPU and CPU under load)

 

Updated all my drivers, even my BIOS

 

I am not overclocking anything

 

Ran memory diagnostic tools, RAM is working fine

 

I'm out of ideas... except for one, that it's my PSU. Since this reboot ONLY happens while I'm playing, kinda rarely and randomly.

 

Also my current PSU is... older and it's not a well known brand (Raptoxx RT-600P), I'm about to buy a new Cooler Master G550M PSU next month...

 

 

Recently built this PC and I didn't replace the PSU

Gigabyte H87-HD3

Intel Core i5-4670 @ 3,40Ghz

Corsair Vengeance 2x4Gb DDR3 1600Mhz

MSi R9 270 GAMING 2Gb GDDR5 

Windows 7 Ultimate x64

 

Thanks in advance

One experiment of mine was this:

AC black flag runs fine (1280x1024 on my old monitor, decided to plug my full HD tv in, and give it a try in 1920x1080...it rebooted after a few minutes.

another point that proves its the psu? When my PC needs more energy(high graphics settings) then it can't support it with enough power so it just reboots.

that's my theory

I have this same problem with the kernel power 41 but i dont think it is the psu because it will reboot when im gaming/web browsing/nothing if some one could help it would be greatly appreciated

Any thoughts on this?

Get this program to completely remove the drivers and install the latest stable ones.

I googled the error and people came back with that it is a conflicting driver.

Tried it, uninstalled all 4 it found, then installed the AMD Catalyst only. Even disabled the integrated Intel VGA in the BIOS... rebooted when I switched to 1920x1080(In-game), just like before, so nothing changed

Seems like for me it was the PSU... Just got the CoolerMaster G550M today, put it in and tried it with the games that used to make my PC reboot. Nothing so far! Played AC Black Flag for about 20 mins, in 1920x1080, no reboot. Same in Tera, no reboot. 

 

Will run more tests, after only like 40 minutes I can't be 100% sure. But there is a really good chance it's fixed now.
