Persistant Kernel power 41 error

[Nykyria]

Brand new build and still having kernel power issues. I just built this computer last week and have been having the KP41 error intermittently. First it was with every download, including WIN update. Got a chkdisk error while using a HDD from previous computer so got a new seagate which allowed a clean install of WIN 7 pro 32bit. I'm assuming I had some driver issues because I had AMD and Realtek HD audio drivers. Removed the realtek HD and was able to do win updates with success. I have a gigabyte mobo that came with an autogreen and usb 2.0 utility. Both of those were causing errors as well so I removed them both. This newest kernel error appeared when I was filling out an RMA for nvidia. I left the computer on that website and walked away for a phone call and upon coming back found that the computer had done an auto-restart with the KP41 error.

My Build:
Mobo: gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H
CPU: AMD A8-5600k w/radeon HD 6570
Ram: 4GB crucial/Balliststix DDR3 1600 sport XT (1.5v which is what it is getting according to the bios)
PSU: raidmax thunder V2 735W
Seagate HDD 500GB 7200rpm
WIN7PRO 32bit
Video card: radeon HD 6570

I just realized that the processor and the physical video are the same. In the bios it is set to automatically disable the onboard graphics and to run video through the PCI slot. Going to check this by telling it to disable the onboard video and see what happens. Any other suggestions would be welcome.

so I set the onboard graphics to disabled and looked at the PC-Health and wondering if any of this could be an issue, such as heat?
CPU vcore 1.392V
Dram Voltage 1.488V
+3.3V 3.363V
+5V 5.190V
+12V 11.952V
CPU temp 51-56C
System temp 29-31C
CPU fan speed 2657-0rpm

the cpu fan speed worries me as it is a stock fan/heatsink... shouldn't it run all the time or is it supposed to go to zero rpm and then back to 2657rpm with temp changes? Right now it's going back and forth within seconds.

an hour later and it happens again. I've already set Windows not to automatically restart, however, it just did without warning and without giving me a bsod stop code.

Is there a sticky on this subject that I've missed?? Please let me know. Thanks!

WOW, okay Answering my own question here. I finally figured out the problem after some long-late night searches and hair pulling because there is no stop BSOD screen for me (Yes, I did take the check mark out of auto restart so I COULD GET the error code).... After tweaking a few of of the errors in the system and the os being able to run for at least an hour at a time before crashing I did start looking at temps. They were running a bit high, normal was around 65C and high was 89C (when actively doing something).. Applied a little more thermal grease to the cpu and snatched up a slightly bigger heat-sink/fan from an older build, keeping the cpu in the ranges of 40-68C.(still a bit higher than I would like but tolerable for what I do)... Got my hands on some completely different ram and wow, what a difference. No more crashing!!! I have a feeling that the ddr3 1600 MHz was the problem, doesn't make any sense as my mobo says it will handle it in the manual (Thinking defective as they won't run any other computer that is compatible). Anyhow what I'm running now are two different brands/GB but are both 1333MHz. So far I don't have anymore errors popping up in computer manager and I've been able to run it as I need it without it restarting. Maybe this will help someone else as I honestly didn't think it could have been the ram and those pesky little system errors. Build is listed above.

I only added the below so this shows as solved.
