My pc keeps randomly restarting, I checked the windows event viewer and get this message - "Critical -Kernel Power-ID-42-TASK CATEGORY-63" with a message underneath saying "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." I'm almost sure that its my power supply that's bad I still have a 172 day warranty on it, but I've read other forms that are saying its stuff with your audio drivers and I'm getting a lot of different answers, I wan't to know if it could be my cpu or gpu or ram, but I've tested all of those and I've received no errors regarding the crash, I've gone to the extend of re installing windows and wiping the whole compute clean, and still nothing, to this current time i have no virus's and temp's for everything are normal, in and out of games even the power supply temps are normal, no under voltage to the cpu or mother board noticed, I'm honestly lost right now and can't find a clear answer.

Thanks for those 2 websites I've read those 2 already and its all foreign to me I don't under stand hex variables and all that in depth stuff, if it's truly that difficult just to run a PC I might sadly switch back to console, I mean my 7 year old ps3 works better than this freshly built pc wich is pretty sad!
