As the title suggests my pc restarts at random times. However it isn't like a normal restart, when this happens it is like I had a power cut and the pc instantly reboots. It usually happens while playing games (that it should be able to run easily) and I have noticed that some games cause this to happen more frequently than others. For example hearts of iron 4 causes it to restart almost instantly while europa universalis 4 has only caused this once. In the event logs it shows the critical event: kernel power 41(63) and also i have noticed that always the last event when i start my pc is that dam didn't start (I only mention this because i read that they are somewhat related). I have cleaned the inside of my pc thoroughly and i have made sure that all the cables are well connected. I have formated it and cleaned installed windows 7 and then upgraded to 10 3 times in the last week but the problem persisted (even in the windows 7). I have checked that the graphics card drivers are up to date and I have run memtest but it didnt show any errors. Finally, I have checked that both my ssd and hdd werent the cause by uplugging the one and only using the other.
