About 1 month ago I built my machine. The only problem I had was with a windows update.
Maybe a week ago my computer begins to power down (not regular "shutting down" visual but basically it looks like power has been cut) and restarts.

When I look in event viewer it appears as Kernel-Power 41 (63)
I also recently did a system restart which didn't help solve it

I have opened up my PC and made sure everything was plugged in properly and I still get the error.

On the day I noticed this 2 things had happened prior.
1) My monitor was moved by a house-mate
2) I installed System Mechanic which I got from Humble Bundle and configured it. It has been removed now.

Any ideas?

Solution
Power - PSU could be failing (yes brand new duds do happen rarely), a bad electrical strip, or dirty wall power
Cables - could be a problem with the cable itself that connects the PC to the outlet, try changing it, also check to see if your monitor cable is good as well

Wow! Quite a fast response!

I just tried to change the socket and power cables and they haven't provided any successful results.

I hope it isnt the PSU because I really need to use this PC for work.
 


Both of those haven't changed anything.
 


Thanks for the help!
It didn't fix my problem but it may fix other peoples.

My psu gave up today
R.I.P PSU February 1st- February 28th
