]I have been getting an error on my computer called Kernel-Power, it has been happening for quite a while now. It started out where it just happened during intense gaming and it was only the monitor that shut off and powered back on. Now it is happening not only in games but also, my computer is completely shutting off. I have run memtest86 and have made 11 passes without any errors. Also my temperatures on my CPU and Video card are pretty normal

Idle- 30s/40s
Load- 60s/70s

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Haha no I don't do that. It seems to be very random. Once while playing a game and another time immediately after I alt tabbed out of something. I wish I had a spare PSU to test with. Also my 12V rail in my BIOS voltages are fluctuating, I don't know if this should be normal or if its a sign that it's failing.

I'd check first:
- Power saving options(very unlikely in this case, but still i would check)
- If all drivers are installed properly and up to date.
Then I'd ask a mate for a borrowed PSU.

I had the same issue and tried all the steps that were suggested by Microsoft and others, nothing worked. Just before I decided to get a new board, I gave things one more try. After a few reboots, my raid went offline. I wiggled the sata cable. The array came back, but I still had the same errors. Then I replaced the that same cable with a new one. Everything went back to being stable, no more errors.

My best guess is the controller was getting a lot of send and receive errors, so the OS shutdown to prevent further corruption.
