Kernel power 41 - random reboots

[elgrubohubo]

Could this possibly be bad ram or a bad psu? It's a RM750i. My computer was experiencing a lot of these kernel 41 events when I had a bad graphic card in there, one of the fans kept trying to start up but kept making a noise instead.

After RMA, my computer stayed on 7 continuous days, kept monitoring the up time in Task manager. Just about an hour ago while I was asleep, it restarted and event viewer stated the Kernel 41 code again.

I’ve also been thinking motherboard/deliddedCPU issue because I have a VERY strange motherboard or ram issue that nobody has been able to figure out. Every time I move my PC, it gets RAM boot up issues. I have the standard 4 slot config, 1 2 3 4. Ram sticks in 1 and 3 as instructed by motherboard. I'll take slot 3 out, it'll boot just fine. Put it back in slot 3, RAM debug issue again, no boot. Take it out, put it into 2 (single channel now) and it works. Shut it down, take it out of 2 and put it back into 3 (original and now dual channel again) everything is good again... what in the hell? lol.

Running memtest86 now and it seems to have passed once so far. How long should I test for?

What is the most likely cause in this case? Any ideas?

I ran memtest86 for a bit over 7 hours and got 5 full passes with no errors, so I think RAM should be ok
