I have been experiencing some pretty violent crashes. The event viewer shows "Critical Error Event 41 ID" when I look into it. My first thought was the PSU; I'd be pretty mad if it was, I have a good one. XFX 1050 GOLD

He essential had me tell the computer to never sleep, and had me make some adjustments in Afterburner , turn on Kernal Mode, Force Constant Voltage. I did so and for the first couple of days no crashes.
Its been a little more than a week now, and I have had one Event 41 ID crash, and some other issues, The GPU got too hot one night. It got up to 93c and when I tried to open ASUS GPU Tweak tool the system locked up. Today I was browsing the web and I heard the fan throttle to high and the system locked up when I tried to open Afterburner. I rebooted and I'm keeping an eye on the temps; I'm web browsing around 51c- which I feel is high for just internet usage. I'm almost scared to put a real load on it.
Does applying constant voltage endanger the health and temps of the GPU?
Should I consider another BIOS version?
Why did these crashes start?
Whatever thoughts you have I'd love to hear.
