Ok that rules out temperature related issue.
Your dump file has a strong indication that it is hardware or a driver problem.

The ntoskrnl.exe error can be caused by:

1. Corrupt boot volume, which may happen due to an unsafe shutdown, sudden power loss, unsafe removal of a local or external disk or physical disk damage or corruption.
2. A failed Windows update or virus infection resulting in Ntoskrnl.exe corruption or deletion.
3. Invalid boot.ini configuration.
4. Windows has not the necessary drivers to access Windows system files on your main partition.

Check in Device Manager for any yellow triangles indicating a bad driver.
Run chkdsk and your main drive to eliminate a drive issue.

You also have to ask yourself:
Does my system...
The OS will report Critical error EVent id 41 kernel power if the system crashes unexpectedly. This is a report and not the cause.
More info would be required to identify the Kernel error ie: a BSOD saved to a dump file.
It's best to list your full system specs Shadow92 to know what we are dealing with.
If event 41 is logged because power to the computer was interrupted, then check your PSU under load. An underpowered or failing PSU may be the cause. If you added RAM or additional devices or hard disks when this problem began, again the PSU may be the cause.
Check your RAM modules with Memtest86 from a USB stick to eliminate that possible issue.
Also what is your OS.?
Have patience as this can be a long troubleshoot Shadow92 :(

The temperature is normal 35 c

i am using cooler master hyper 103 so the temperature remains quite normal.
 
Ok that rules out temperature related issue.

You also have to ask yourself:
Does my system and MB fully support Windows 10 and do I have all drivers, Bios (last known F2) and chipset up to date.
I have checked and your Board goes back to 2012 so I don't really know. although it would seem so.
Please also list your RAM part No manufacturer and configuration. It appears you have 12 GB kit.?
