Hello,

I built my new pc and it cost me quite a lot of money so i want it to be working to its full capacity with no errors.

Everything seems fine apart from when I initially turn it on it will either sometimes get stuck at the bios logo screen or will restart sometimes twice and then finally it goes into windows. Its perfectly fine and amazing in windows so fast but it reboots when i turn it on several times or something freezes at logo screen so i want to know how to fix this.

Event viewer Critical error:

Event 41, Kernel-Power Event ID: 41
I have heard it could be psu possibly?
A thing to note is it has never crashed though. Most people with this problem, there
computer will shut down randomly. Well im not getting that atall its perfectly fine it is just at
startup.

Any suggestions?

Spec:
Windows 8.1
Gigabyte X99 UD4 Motherboard (Ultradurable)
Intel Core i7-5960x CPU 8 cores.
Bios mode UEFI (what is this?)
32gb DDR4 Ram.
Geforce GTX 970 4GB Graphics Card

powersupply: XFX 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply


That power supply does sound a little cheapy and itz bronze? Someone chose these for me apart from a few things but i didnt question the power supply.

Any ideas?

Event 41 is too generic of a notice to isolate it to any particular hardware
The XFX PSU's are manufactured by SeaSonic, one of the more respected players in the PSU realm, they receive high ratings from legitimate reviewers but that doesn't mean it can't go bad prematurely (it happens even to the best)
Often a restart cycle is done by the PC in an attempt to enable RAM frequency/timings and/or overclocks
UEFI BIOS (User Extensible Firmware Interface) is a more user friendly BIOS environment which allows graphics in BIOS and the use of the mouse instead of being restricted to the text-keyboard interface of legacy BIOS

While considering this, I'm thinking a corrupted driver, have any new programs been installed and/or any hardware changed or added?

I'm going to start with the obvious here and that is to check all of your power connections (both sides) are snuggly connected (a loose connection can cause that).
The suspects at this point (I'm temporarily taking focus off of drivers since it's so new) would be one of the voltage regulation areas (you have three, PSU, Mobo, Graphics). HWMonitor http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html can give you an idea (hopefully) of where your power is getting wonky (I'm still not so sure this is the issue)
Is XMP enabled? If so what specs is the ram running at?

Aw shucks, it isn't reading your voltages correctly. That isn't an indication of anything but it doesn't help at all either.
Since that wasn't helpful, I'm taking you another route, I'll suggest running MemTest86 http://www.memtest86.com/ for an overnight run to check for memory errors
Oh yeah, Is XMP (eXtreme Memory Profile) enabled so that your ram is running at spec'd frequency/timings?
I'm still working on getting your manual from Gigabyte (seems my PC doesn't like Gigabyte's PDF download for your board, very strange) but see what MemTest86 has to say...
I'll be back
