Event 41 Kernel Power Crash Issue.

[lewis_010]

My PC is fine when surfing the web and generally fine until I'm playing a game (graphically intense and not graphically intense games also crashing PC). Then, anywhere between 30 seconds to an hour into my game, my PC crashes. Looking at my event logs, I see it is an event 41 - kernel power issue. I have tried 95% of the fixes out there (literally), and nothing helps my case. I have updated all of my drivers, I've sorted through my BIOS settings, did a memory test, did a fresh install of windows 10, and even rebuilt my PC. The list goes on. This is extremely frustrating because the PC is only a month old so it's not old or deteriorated parts, and cost quite a lot of money... The only explanation I can come up with was when I overclocked my graphics card (not much at all) and then undid my settings a week later because a game didn't support OCd GPUs? I'm steering towards the idea of it maybe being a hardware issue. I'm not keen on forking out unless it's going to help my problem.
I have been told that this could be a Power Supply related issue, but I'd like some extra clarification.

Event 41 simply means "I shut down unexpectedly and do not know why"
It is useless as an error message.

use this on sensor page and check temp ,voltages even fan speed https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php

I'm aware of that, I'm looking for a fix. Please state what you want to be told, and I'll get it for you.
I can give you a bit more detail.

those are hwmonitor readings and show voltages on psu out of specs use the whwinfo sensoer page and send back result .

Here all of the details I was presented with on hwinfo.

what you have in the cpu fan plug so the system read over 4000 rpm and cpu opt only 650 rpm that could made issue with psu readings since the 5 and 12 volt are a bit ofset .

Thanks, I thought it was PSU related, I'm off to buy a new one.

Beware, me and others with this exact problem have bought a new PSU thinking it would solve problem when it unfortunately has not.

How did you exactly fix the problem then? Just so that if my new PSU doesn't fix the problem I can try what you tried.

Actually.. my GPU died a few days ago. I removed it and haven't had problems since. It was a Sapphire R9 390.
