I have a PC for gaming that consistently kernel 41 restarts and boots back up. Below is the minidump that was analyze with WinDbg. Can anyone help me determine what the issue is and maybe how it can be fixed. If anyone needs the whole file it is attached

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If kernel debugger is available get stack backtrace.

BUGCHECK_CODE: d1

BUGCHECK_P1: 0

BUGCHECK_P2: 2

BUGCHECK_P3: 8

BUGCHECK_P4: 0

A kernel 41 error is often due to power loss or hardware issues. Common causes are a failing power supply, overheating, or unstable overclocking.

 

The first thing that I would do is clean the filters and all the fans, including the PSU's as they may be clogged enough to cause heat problems  and it's good maintenance anyway.

The next step is to lower the clock speed as your hardware may not support it current level, I recommend here dropping the speed to stock, run the game for awhile and see if the situation  reoccurs. If not raise the clock speed up to less that it was set at previously and try again, as you may have had it set too high, regardless of any claims made by either the manufacturer or you friends.

Also, with the computer off and unplugged, touch around to feel if any of the components are hotter than the rest as its possible it's bad. Highly unlike;y but its worth the couple of minutes it's going to take and as a paranoid, I'd ground myself to be sure.

 

And finally, if neither work, try a different PSU.

 

Doing it in this order, gives you the opportunity not to spend money as all that the first two steps require is a little time and patience it's only the last step tat will incur any out of pocket expenses,

I can try the overclocking idea but I have already replaced the PSU once to a better one, even though the old one was brand new. That didn't solve the issue. All analyzers indicate heat temps are good, and the PC is very newly built and pretty much spotless.
