I assembled a new system just over a month ago. My specs are :
Intel Core i5 7600k with Coolermaster Hyper 212x cpu cooler
Evga Gtx 1060 6 gb
Asus Prime Z270-a mobo
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 8gb
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" SATA ΙΙΙ
Corsair RMx Series 550X 80 Plus Gold
Nzxt 340s PC Case
I have also connected 4 fans. 2 from Corsair 120mm
High Airflow and 2 nzxt fans that were already installed in the case.
My problem is that since i connected (at 12/07)the two corsair fans (they are connected on the mobo, unlike the nzxt fans which are connected on the psu) my system became unstable. To clarify unstable ,it started restarting on its own which on the windows event log was coded as kernel power 41 critical error. This happens randomly. It may not happen for two days straight with the pc running smoothly and then happen three times the same day.
In addition to that sometimes it won't even activate when i press the boot button, still the mobo leds are on and usb devices as well when its not activated, and only start working after i turn the psu off and then back on .Other times it will activate but won't boot and restart. I tried disconnecting the fans but the same problems occured. Plus i can't see how the fans would cause such problems. I have read a lot of q&a concerning the kernel power 41 error but i didn't find any clear explanation to what the root of the problem is .
It's obvious that there are hardware malfunctions but is it the psu, the mobo or the hard drive (I have tested the ram and it appeared fine). Still i find it hard to believe that quality components such as this mobo and psu would prove defective. Anyway, what's your take on the situation?
