Hi all,

I posted awhile back with this issue and then went off to try a few things.

My fathers PC is still being a right tool no matter what I do to correct it. He can be using it and the system will randomly lock up, BSOD stating Kernel error (hasn't done that in awhile), when exiting a game it will freeze or restart itself or a few minutes after sitting on the desktop after a game it will do one of the above.

Now, I have checked System Logs and noticed it has a Kernel Power log with error 41 (63) which upon looking up online and even here on TH forum, some were mentioning PSU issue. I previously put in a SSD after trying HDD with fresh Windows 10 installations, didn't correct it.

I had run sfc scans - nothing. Issue still continued.

I today put in a new PSU, checked all connections to everything and the system was up running for 6 hours or so, and he just mentioned he exited a game, was on the desktop for around 3 min and system restarted randomly.

System Specs

AMD FX-4300
Gigabyte 970a-d3p
4GB Geil DDR3
Intel 535 SSD 240GB (Around 2 months old)
Win 10 - 64bit (Fresh install on SSD which is only around 2 months old)
GTX 470
Antect VP600P PSU 600w (Brand New)

The oldest component in that system is the memory now. Fact of the matter remains that no matter what is replaced, same issue.

Note: Just tried to exit Magic The Gathering to check system log - PC freeze.
