Hello,
I have just completed a build with the below components, and while it works great for the most part, it has been restarting randomly with the below code in event viewer(Kernel-Power 41 (63)):
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
This usually happens after ~45 min of heavy gaming, a few seconds of prime95, ~5 minutes of heavy GPU bench-marking, as well as randomly every few hours while idling.
I have the below components and have installed the latest drivers on my graphics card.
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($339.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($74.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($174.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($149.99 @ Micro Center)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($129.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($129.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card ($369.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($19.99 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($88.98 @ OutletPC)
Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter ($34.99 @ Micro Center)
System Information
------------------
Processor Name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz
Processor Information: Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3
Number of Physical Cores: 4
Number of Logical Cores: 8
Installed System Memory: 16 GB
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit
Graphics Information: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770
System Product: Z97X-UD5H
System BIOS: F6
I have used the "Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool, which gives me a "PASS" in all areas, and I have used the memory diagnostic tool with no problems.
Additionally, I have used HWMonitor and the temperatures seem to be somewhat in the normal range.
What could be the culprit of this Kernel-Power issue? Is this a power supply problem? Are there any other tests I can perform to find the culprit?
Thank you for any help!
