KERNEL POWER WHY !?!?!?!?!

You may want to use the corsair PSU power calculator to verify that you actually have enough power  with all of the hardware you have in the system. Remember that you should have at least 15% more power available than what is needed. Example: the minimum that you NEED is 400 watts, then your PSU should be at least 460 Watts.

                  Did I help you to fix your problem or at least did offer somewhat valuable advice? Consider giving my post a "informative" or "thumbs up".

I'm sorry for getting back so late. My PC was at the service center for a month.
The mechanic replaced every part under warranty (Every single one I'm not kidding) and because he couldn't find a GTX960, he replaced it with a GTX970 however i dont think that should make much of a difference. I did calculate my power requirements
again and it showed me around 369 W (approximate).
But, Surprise Surprise, the kernel power error never leaves. "Constant reboots" is an understatement.
Now we're back to assuming that its windows 7.
So by next week i should have windows 10.
We'll see if that works.
