Event ID - 41: Kernal Power

[Simon Myers]

Kay, so, me and my tech buddies have no idea how to go about this situation. Google-fu pretty much ran me into a dead-end with most responses on the situation being to buy a bunch of new hardware and that's something I don't want to do when I just shelled out $1,200 on a brand new rig.

Happens on occasion and it's never consistent. It'll restart whenever I'm watching videos on youtube, sometimes when I'm playing a game. Only ever when doing those two things though.

Here's my rig:

Mobo: ASUS M5A99 Pro R2.0
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 2133
PSU: Rosewill CAPSTONE 750W 80+ Gold
GPU: ASUS R9 290X 4GB
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz
HDD: WD Blue 1TB 64MB Cache
OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit

Sounds like something may be overheating, or not getting enough power. Are you overclocking? Try disabling overclocking and see if you still get the same error.

Now that you mention it, I did run an autotune on AMD CCC a while back before this issue came about. Disabled Graphics OverDrive for now (was only trying to use it for fan control). Would the autotune have caused this?

I would recommend you look up a guide to overclock via BIOS, not AMD CCC. Has it crashed since you turned OverDrive off?
