Can temps cause kernel 41 on my PC?

Dear community,

I've been experiencing Kernel 41 lately and I've tried almost everything to stop it. I replaced my PC with a completely brand new PSU, RAM, and a new CPU cooler. I've restored my old data and updated my windows to 10. But somehow, it keeps giving me constant force restarts, so I thought maybe temperature was the case. My CPU with my new cooler runs at roughly 45C, GPU at 30-32C, and my overall temp is 47C. Is this good? I heard the highest it can get to is around 80C but I feel like my temps are already pretty high.

Also, are there any ways I can deal with this Kernel 41 error? I can't seem to get rid of it. The restarts are literally random, it happened as soon as I started my PC, and sometimes a few hours after startup, when it is in idle mode. It's not giving me the BSoD after shutting down, neither is it giving me a freeze before it shuts down. It is just like a snap and boom, my screen is black. You can hear a little dink from the PC as soon as it shuts down, and also the same sound when it starts up. Could this be something?
 
Your temps are fine, but what did you use to monitor them?

IIRC that error is usually related to the PSU, but you've already changed that... Is it modular and you've kept the old cables in and only switched the PSU? If so, double check that all cables are firmly in place.

Are you using any kind of surge protection between our wall outlet and the PSU? If so, have you tried without?
Or an extension cord? If so, have you tried without?

You say both restart and shut down, is it doing both or only one of them?
 


I monitored them through the BIOS (my gigabyte Bios has a built in temp monitor). For the GPU, I simply used MSI Afterburner. My PSU is a Fully Modular RM 750 from Corsair. The other is the same model that my friend sold me, it was also brand new.

I've used both cables on both PSUs and they make no difference. One thing that I noticed was that the 24-pin ATX on the PSU side was a bit wobbly, but I replaced it with the cable from the other PSU and it made no difference, so that probably isn't what's affecting it.

I also use surge protectors, but I don't have a socket that is compatible with my PSU's cable. I live in Japan, so this is what my socket looks like:

But since I'm an idiot, I bought BOTH PSUs from amazon.COM and got a NA Plug, which is why not having one isn't an option.

To be honest, my PSU started having kernel issues after the warranty period was over (to be exact, right on the day it expired), which is the main reason why I had to buy a NEW one. If I have to buy another PSU, shouldn't the companies be sued for selling faulty PSU's? Like, I don't want to spend any more money on PSUs, and what if the new one I bought is faulty as well? How will I ever fix this? Will I have to keep buying PSUs until I find one that works?
