Kernel-Processor-Power event 55 PC crashing

[rcfant89]

I'm having constant crashes on my system and can't figure out why. Event log gives me:

No hardware changes to the system and it's been stable for a long time. I am leaning towards thinking it is a software problem because all of a sudden it started blue screening over and over again saying something (can't remember) but googled it and it pointed to a graphics driver issue.

I just downloaded the most recent driver and the blue screen stopped but not it is still crashing with the above error message, but a different cause of crash it looks like.

Temps look good as well:

I checked fan, it's spinning, looks good. Given that the system started blue screening directly after an AVG forced reboot, then a graphics driver caused different crashing, I would think it's software related. If it was hardware, the crashes wouldn't change type with the driver changes/reboots, I would think.

Anyone have any input about this? I may just go ahead and reimage the machine.

Tried system restore, said there were errors on C drive. Repaired those, still could not restore due to missing files. Seems something was wrong with the drive so I wiped it and reinstalled windows 7. No problems for the past day so looks like it's all good. Wish I knew a more exact cause but it does appear to be software related rather than hardware.
