Hi, toms. My PC is a new build from just over a week ago. My PSU is the XFX Proseries TS-450 and my Mobo is the Asus Z97-E. The other day it started crashing during my game of counter-strike and it rebooted. when it turned back on, it told me that asus anti-surge was triggered to protect against a faulty PSU. I heard that asus anti surge can cause stupid stuff like this so I disabled it, but the crashes still happened.

The event viewer gave a message of:
Kernel-Power 41 (63)

and when looking at it, the message stated

EVENT DATA:
bugcheckcode: 0
bugcheckparameter1: 0x0
bugcheckparameter2: 0x0
bugcheckparameter3: 0x0
bugcheckparameter4: 0x0
sleepinprogress: false
powerbuttontimestamp: 0

The OS is win7, and its not a cooling issue because I've been running speedfan to ensure it. The issue is also not power, as I used the coolermaster PSU calculator to find what i needed (minimum) and even went over that. The PC is also just plugged into the wall. I am not using any extensions on my PSU cables.

Please give me help in understanding the issue and how to resolve it. Much appreciated.
