I've experienced this a few times now and thought nothing of it. Basically, I think during CPU/GPU heavy activities, my computer drops to black screen with it still being on but me not being able to do anything and my fans must go to full power since they're really loud. I've looked in event viewer and I get the following errors within when narrowed down to last hour and system, security and hardware errors

Error 16/06/2018 02:49:21 PM DistributedCOM 10016 None
Error 16/06/2018 02:49:03 PM Eventlog 1101 Event processing
Critical 16/06/2018 02:49:00 PM Kernel-Power 41 (63)
Error 16/06/2018 02:49:03 PM EventLog 6008 None
Error 16/06/2018 02:38:08 PM DistributedCOM 10016 None

If you need anything else give me a shout. I've scoured the web for answers but to no avail. Also I'm not a tech expert so if there are any suggestions please do it step by step :)
Thanks guys

It's not overclocked but here are the specs
System Model Z170-Gaming K3
System Type x64-based PC
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz, 4001 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB
5 fans and water cooling

As for my PSU power, I'm not sure and don't know how to check. The inside is fairly dusty so I'll give it a clean. What shall I clean it with?
 
Your PSU should be listed on the receipt if you bought it as an assembly that isn't a store brand, on the box the PSU came in, or the information should be on the PSU itself.

If you bought a store brand like Dell, etc, look up your model number to see what should be in there.

Compressed air is fine for cleaning, hold your fans still while cleaning.

Check your water cooling pump for failure. The system may be triggering shutdown for safety if getting too hot.

Ok so my PCU is 550w.

Water cooling is up and running I think. I just felt the tubes and I could feel it vibrating a little so I assume its all good.

That is the PSU I believe

That is my PC apart from an added wifi dongle and 1TB hard drive.

I've looked for diagnostic software for my cooler which is a corsair h45 but I could only find iCUE and Corsair LINK 4, neither of which allow me to see the pumps diagnostic unless its named as something different.
