I know this has been asked before as I've been searching for problems but I figured I'd make my own post since my situation could be different.
Anyways my computer recently has been freezing and restarting randomly. Mostly when I'm playing games. I don't get the BSOD but, my monitor goes black and restarts on its own.
Under my event viewer to check the problem under critical errors come up with "kernel power 41" every time.
I've done most of what I can such as the chkdsk /r and /r to the sfc /scanow as well as the bootrec and bootmgr. I as well have done the memtest86 + to see if its my ram and so far its passed the test ( I've done multiple test and each ram by themselves more than once and they've both came back fine ) Even too updating my bios , re-installing my bios, graphic hard drive, even windows.
But for some reason I'm still having the same problem ( I know i could do more but my head is in a mess right now I don't know what I've done in the past to give you the details ). I don't know if its a bug because I use to put my computer in sleep mode for a while and I was assuming it was that problem. But doing those checks and re-install everything seems to have not done the job. So I am assuming its either my cpu or my graphics card or dare I say the mother board ( since the kernel power is related to well.. the power ? lol ). I also noticed that when my computer turns on I see a red light on the right side of the ram slots which stays on for a while and on the left side but only for a few seconds ( no beep when the computer turns on ) As well when I touch my cpu its fairly warm on the top.
Sorry for the rambling but I just wanted to give as much info ( which i know you'll need more ) to give to figure out whats causing my computer to restart. Its a somewhat a new computer ( just got it in Feb ) so I hope its nothing major but I'm prepared for the worst lol. So if anyone can help me or guide me threw this situation, the appreciation would be great.
Thank in advance.
