Hello! I recently rebuilt my pc and have been facing random freezes while playing games like Rainbow 6 Siege and Battlefront. I check the event viewer and it has been Kernel-Power 41 causing it, ive updated drivers, tested Ram and the whole 9 yards.

Specs:
MOBO- ASUS M5A97
CPU- AMD FX 8350
GPU- MSI R9 390
RAM- 16 GBS of Ballistix Sport
SSD- PNY 240 GB
PSU- Corsair CX850M

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Test your ram with MemTest
http://www.memtest.org/

Also, I have experienced something very similar to this, in order to fix it I updated my Bios. Try this, make sure you know what you're doing though, as it can be dangerous(but don't worry too much, just don't pull the power when it's updating)

Have you made any Bios changes?

Confirm that all your drivers are up to date, This mean Motherboard, Graphics card, and then any other things such as mouse, monitor you name it.

Best of luck!

Also, while under clocking may help, yyk71200 just if it's a faulty card then it's gonna freeze regardless... unless I'm wrong

1st make sure nothing is overclocked, especially your graphic card.

If nothing is overclocked, and freezes still happen, try underclocking your graphic card (both core and vram). If freezes stop, the graphic card is probably at fault.
