Hi I am not great with the internals of the pc I am hoping you can help me. I bought this pc about a year ago and everything ran great until recently my pc just started turning completly off, no warning or errors just straight black screen. I am hoping to find out if this is caused by just bad power supply or if I dont have a big enough power supply to run my setup? Please any help would be amazing and just let me know if you need anymore info. one last thing this happens either when watching a stream or playing a game. thanks again

Event id 41 task category 63 is power failure due to insufficient power delivery. In other words, a faulty PSU which is very unlucky for you as the V700 series is an excellent brand of power supply. If you have a spare power supply unit or can get one from a friend, put it in your pc and try to boot. See how it is running. If the error doesn't not occur then your PSU is faulty and you need to replace it. If the problem still persists try the advice in the links below:

Have you tried looking through the Event Manager in Windows ?? It lists all possible events in your pc there might be a clue there why this is happening. You're main culprits are likely to be either failing power supply or failing graphics card.

Hi so I just checked the log and realized quickly I have no idea what im looking for! so there is a critical error that says event id: 41 but this just tells me unexpected reboot doesnt give me a reason why! am I looking at the wrong section?

Critical error id 41 indicates power problems. Can you post the error file entirely or at least a screen shot??
