My PC is fine when surfing the web and generally fine until I'm playing a game (graphically intense and not graphically intense games also crashing PC). Then, anywhere between 30 seconds to an hour into my game, my PC crashes. Looking at my event logs, I see it is an event 41 - kernel power issue. I have tried 95% of the fixes out there, and nothing helps my case. I have updated all of my drivers, checked my files, and I'm steering towards the idea of it maybe being a hardware issue. I'm not keen on forking out unless it's going to help my problem. PC Specs: Installed Physical Memory (RAM): 16.0 GB
Processor: Processor Intel i5-6600K 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s)
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB
SSD: Not sure what brand, 240gb.
Note: More info can be provided if needed. Thanks - Lewis.

Thank you for your suggestion, I think this could be the problem, my PSU came with my case and not sure the wattage or the rating. Temps are fine, and nothing is over 40% utilisation at any time. I'm gonna search for a new one and install it straight away. Thank you. :)

PSUs which come with a case tend to be of questionable quality. Most on the forum will recommend you get a more reliable one. Use this: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

The list will help you make an informed suggestion about which power supplies are good. There are basic wattage calculators which will give you an idea what power supply you'll need. As I understand it the PSU is most efficient on half load.

Thinking of going with an 80+ gold or platinum 750w PSU, to make up for my lack of power. Thanks for your reply. :)
