This problem has been bothering me for ages. To simply put it, my pc reboots randomly. Whether its idle, playing a game or surfing the net. The screen goes black and then windows reboots. Kinda like I pressed the reset button. Also, no BSoD.

All my temps are fine, my heatsink broke a couple of months ago and replaced it with a water cooling system. I dont overclock my pc in any way and all my fans are working fine so overheating is out of the picture.

I use a corsair 550w psu, my pc is pretty mid tier so i think thats adequate.

I researched alot about this and people say it may be the psu failing. I looked on hw monitor and atleast on idle and while on youtube my voltage is fine. Could it still be the problem?

Could it be a corrupted windows? Or a virus of some sorts? I scanned my computer numerous times and i havent found a single virus. Could it be a software issue with drivers or maybe even the bios? Im considering doing a clean install of windows but ive never touched the bios because im pretty incompetent with that stuff..

My biggest fear is that if its not the psu or a messed up windows, the mobo could be causing it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Sorry for the long post/rant.

Hello... Are they all kernel 41 errors? can you post a closer image of some different one's for us?

Typically $$ wise you would start with the PS... and or re-move anything connected to the MB and still be able to BOOT to Windows... trim the hardware fat, and see if the problem changes or goes away.

There are a lot small electrical contacts that have to be made. Cleaning, checking and re-connecting them all, is what a Maintenance Man would be expected to do, in hopes of the obvious. Spare parts are needed after that, because there are a lot of Un-seen electrical connections too... CPU's are solid state and really tuff, I have never had one fail. MB's however have a lot connections and can get physically abused from bending and...

It doesn't really show much. The errors just tell me that my pc shut down unexpectedly...which is my problem yes but it doesnt help me get to the bottom of it. :/

MB's however have a lot connections and can get physically abused from bending and forcing/mis aligning connections... also there are a lot of Caps, solder joints, chips, and power regulators.
