So I have a problem that has been troubling me for months. My machine will randomly turn off when I am not using it, web-browsing and one time while gaming. I've monitored temps and they are all normal, Voltages seem okay and I'm not sure what to do so here is a list of what I have tried: 

Error in eventviewer: Kernel Power ID 41 63

Memtest86 - Passed

Replacing PSU

Running 1 stick of ram

Running without GPU

Changing power save/settings

uninstalling audio drivers

downgrading drivers

changed to a different headset with out a USB audio driver 

Re-installing windows

Changing power outlets

changing UPSs

Changing power strip

changing power cable

I can't count the number of times I've thought I've fixed it. It seems to come back after a few days.
