PC keeps restarting... Need some thoughts....

[MarcusLauk]

Well I am having a good old bad time with my system again. It keeps restarting at random moments... Usually when im playing something. Sometimes it can do it while almost idle.

Event manager says Event 41, Kernel-Power Task category (63)

Some places says its about drivers and such on the system, but after a clean reboot of windows and fresh drivers it`s still going.

 

The system is not old, got brand new parts a little over a month ago from a RMA case with my retailer. My PSU fried my system. I`m thinking its my PSU again, which really frustrates me since it`s the same brand and same kind of unit:

Corsair AX860i

 

Please share your thoughts about this issue.

Is the CPU or GPU overheating? This happens because the CPU overheats too much so it shuts the computer in order to prevent damaged.

They are not overheating, been monitoring them both. Also funny thing it restarted while I was writing a message to you. The GPU fans arent spinning because it isnt warm enough, I have observed them ramp up when it`s doing anything intensive-ish and the cpu is at sub 40 degrees and it still restarted.

Any screws underneath the motherboard? or around the motherboard?

Re seat all power connectors and clear Cmos should fix it i had same problem 24 pin wasnt seated correctly

My desktop just made a ton of graphical issues. I checked underneath and there was a screwdriver tip.

I reseated the power connectors, changed 24 pin cable from a custom braided to the stock one. I have done a BIOS flash already.

I guess I`ll have to tear the system apart tomorrow then.

take out the cmos battery and put it in 4 minutes later, and reseat all power/regular connections unconnect any usb drives or accessories that may prevent the pc from running

Did you checked for screws? change the cpu or MB if you can.
