Heya,

I bought new PC mid September and I been getting the kernel power event ID 41 error while playing games. My PC just restarts itself without any errors and the event viewer shows critical error ID 41. Its been happening before but it stopped after replacing PSU. The problem returned 2 days ago. The problem occurs more or less in the same place in the game (Guild Wars 2). I checked the game on my old PC and it works correctly. Also, it seems that my new PC can handle Dota 2 without any problems. 

 

My PC sepcs:

MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Intel i7-4790k

GTX 980ti 6GB

16GB Ram

SSD 240GB

2TB Hard Drive

Cooler Master 212 Evo Fan

750W PSU

 

Cheers

Dzak

The CX series isn't very good, that's probably the issue

I also own Corsair HX1000i. Could it fix the problem? I know it will take more power than it needs but I don't want to spend more money on 4th PSU.

If you have a spare psu use that and see if that fixes the problem. HX1000 is fine.
