For the last month I've been having sudden freezes and restarts while playing games. No BSOD,no error message. Only a solid colored screen and a restart. After that I can only find that "Kernel Power 41 (63)" appears in windows event logs.
My laptop is a local Turkish brand called "Monster Notebook" who import and modify Clevo gaming notebooks mostly.
And here it's specs:
Intel 9700k 3.60 gHz Factory OC @ 4.60 gHz
Nvdia GTX 1070 8 GB Factory OC
16 GB DDR4 RAM
256 GB M.2 + 1TB SATA SSD's
Windows 10 Professional 64 bit
Things I have tried:
Things I couldn't tried yet:
BIOS update: Dunno why but as a company "Monster Notebook" hides/obscures their motherboard models and they don't offer BIOS updates on their sites. Some people pointed out that they usually send update files if you mail their tech support. So I did and waiting their response
So meanwhile I just wanted to ask you people how can I determine which part of hardware is at fault? Or is it really a hardware problem?

Things I have tried:
- Update and reinstall Nvidia drivers with DDU
- Check for windows errors with sfc
- Checked for malwares
- Used memtest86
- Used several benchmark and/or stress test programs such as Furmark, Heaven, OCCT to determine which hardware component is failing - No freezes or crashes happened during these tests
- Checked for temperatures. Core temperatures are at 85C with both GPU and CPU under max load. Usually around 75-80C on games.
- Reapplied thermal paste multiple times, cleaned fans and heatsinks.
