Hey there, my PC started turning itself off yesterday and now today, everytime i play GTA V for about 30-40mins, yesterday i was playing GTA V for about 4-5 hours and it shut down, black screen... for no reason and it kept doing it everytime i played it for 30mins at a time... before this i was getting blue screen errors, a GPU and Mobo update seems to have got rid of that, now the error im getting in event viewer is Event ID : 41 ... seen here http://puu.sh/hxv2p/aa2b823480.png
it doesnt shut off when im doing normal things, browsing the net, or listening to music, watching vids or anything like that, i haven't tested it with other games since it happened only GTA V

My CPU is sitting at about 60 degrees when playing GTA V and my GPU is sitting at maybe 60-70% and same as my RAM
My Build:
Intel Core i7 4770K
MSI H97 GAMING 3 (MS-7918) (MOBO)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
PSU : CX Series Modular CX750M
OS is on a 232GB Crucial CT250BX1 00SSD1 SCSI Disk Device (SSD)
Corsair Vengance 8GB

I had the same problem, and the culprit doing the BSOD and continues crashes where the actual RAM overheating.
Put a fan over them and hasn't giving me any trouble at all.
Hope this helps you :)

Just loaded up GTA V played for about 30-40 mins and it done it again, i looked in the event logs and seen this Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power

playing GTA my CPU Temp is 60-70 and my GPU is 66-70, theres also a buzzing noise coming from my case whenever i go into the game... again haven't tested with other games...

and then theres this..

after closing down GTA V and just doing normal things on the pc again this happened...

this has happened once before, i took the PSU and sat it on my desk and it appears the fan is spinning okay..nothing appears or appeared to be stuck inside of it...

I am having this exact same issue. If it's the RAM, how come my RAM doesn't overheat when I play Far Cry 4 or World of Warcraft?

@pfilias Happened to me too, some games would not trigger the temperatures too high for the system to be unstable, but GTA5 for what I have read has a memory leakage bug of some sort yet to be addressed.
The CPU and GPU temperatures are nominal, but the actual RAM sticks suffer a bit more, someone said that GTA5 is CPU and memory intensive instead of GPU.
Give a try with a small fan over them and see if it helps with the issue.
It helped in my case :)
Good luck

What does that mean? Does it mean that you need that PSU to play this game without incident? My PSU is an Antec 650W Green PSU.

My Build:
Intel Core i5-2500K cooled with Corsair H90
MSI R9 280X cooled with Corsair H110
4x4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3
PSU: Antec 650W Green
OS is on 256GB Samsung EVO 640 SSD
Windows 8.1 64-bit
