Kernel Error 41

[L360]

Hi everyone, new to the forums (literally just joined to find out about this so sorry if i placed it in the wrong place or something). I keep getting a kernel power error 41 (no BSOD, just straight restart) when I'm gaming anywhere after about an hour or so to several hours, but I've had **20!!** critical errors in the past 7 days. 

 

My current specs are:

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87M-D3H (1150 socket)
CPU: Intel i5-4570 everything running at stock

GPU: Gigabyte GTX1070 G1 Gaming running at Gaming mode

Ram: 4x8GB Corsair 1600mhz DDR3

SSD: 1x840 pro 120GB + 1x850pro 250GB

HDD: 2TB Seagate something 

AIO cooling: H100i v2 240mm radiator top exhaust

Fans: 2x140 front intake, 1x140 rear exhaust

LED: 100cm 30 Led

PSU: Thermaltake SMART 650W/80plus bronze

(I added the extra crap in to estimate the power consumption)

 

 

All temps are fine. CPU ~50C Max, GPU ~70C Max, HD temps are fine. voltage and everything should be fine cos they were all stock. SFC was fine, Memtest came back with no errors, Aida64 ran for 1.5 hours stressing CPU, FPU, Memory and GPU. Ran fine the whole. Not sure where else to go from here. The only other thing I can think of is replacing the whole PSU but want to check if there's anything else I can do before spending money on a PSU. Thanks in advance for any help

Your idle voltages are fine, but maybe it jitters under load. I'd try disabling CPU cores in BIOS and underclocking the GPU to reduce power draw. If that fixes the issue, it'd indicate a problem with the PSU.

Also, it looks like it's only rated for 40c. That's crappy AF, you can easily have a fever that bad. If there's a tiniest bit of dust in it or something like your GPU is exhausting the heat into it, it could well be overheating.

Also forgot to mention, PSU is 4 years old. so I'm guessing there would be "wear and tear" so to speak. I know if I set everything very low (eg, lowered voltage for ram, less active cores etc..) it runs fine but with obvious performance drop. Would it probably be better to replace the PSU to something higher/"better" because I dont really want to lower performance (also maybe go silver minimum instead of bronze cert). and the gpu is intake from the fans and exhaust out the side/back of the case so its not exhausting onto the psu.

Yup. It might still be in warranty. At least currently Thermaltake looks to have 5-year warranty for all PSUs. http://support.thermaltake.com But replacing it with something better is definitely worth considering. Here's one of many lists of PSU rankings.

Awesome, thanks heaps. I'll take a look tonight  hopefully the psu will fix the issue

So I finally got a new PSU (750W EVGA Gold cert PSU) and it now works a treat, no more errors. Thanks heaps for your help
