Hello All
System Specs Below
I've been through this here on Toms already, I found no solution and it's getting more frequent. This started as a very random crash when I first built my computer, never found out the cause but I figured it will either get worse or bear some proof as to the problem(It hasn't). I just now noticed, as i am gaming more and more lately just how often this thing is crashing. Today it crashed to black and restarted 3 times, and it does it numerous times while I'm not even on it in the night, as I checked the event logs today(Critical Event Error Kernal Power Error Event 41.
The Probem:
In short my PC will just shut off, dead, and restart to the login screen. If I'm there to witness it, it offers to start normal or start in safe mode and such, you know the drill. Now when this PC was fresh and new it happened once a week, now it's like i said 3 times today alone.
Solutions I've tried:
I thought the overclock was the issue, so ran Prime 95 for 12 hours, and Intel Burn Test for 8 courses successfully. OC at 4.5 Ghz BTW Nothing no crash(This was initially when it wasn't crashing often).
Then I had a friend suggest it may be an under-voltage in the CPU(they have a +-Voltage), he said this can produce strange effects. I uped the voltage incrementally .02V at a time (Monitering the temp with 3 programs the entire time, never over 68 degrees C) to .1V above where my OC was stable(1.35V) to no avail.
I have updated all drivers from the manufacturers websites(MoBo,GPU, Etc.).
I ran Memcheck overnight and it didn't crash During the test, woke up to it still running .
I tried running the ram at 1333Mhz , still crash.
I tried running a fan directly on the SB and the NB(was told heat here can cause strange things) , still crash.
Is it the power supply(My biggest suspect right now)? Is it the RAM? Is it drivers Competing? Is it a random fail in the RAM? Is it an issue with the GPU compatibility?
Please Help
Thanks
