Try this:
1. Press the 'Windows Key' + 'R'
2. Enter 'devmgmt.msc' and press OK. The device Manager should open up now.
3. Go to Category "Hard Drives" and pick ur harddrive ur using. If you use 2 harddrives do the following steps for both of them.
4.Rigth Klick onto ur Harddrive and then klick on "Update Driver"

if you did this the problem should be fixed after a restart.
Sry if i wrote some Words incorrectly since my PC is in german and i dont exactly know what the options are called in english but i think u'll figure out what i meant.

If it starts happening again, run a program like CPUID's HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner and keep an eye on the CPU and GPU temperatures as you play. That sounds like an overheating issue.

curly245 · Nov 14, 2017

It happened again but I can play for longer periods. It doesn't happen when I put it in windowed mode.

Carnaxus · Nov 15, 2017

Did you run a monitoring program and check the temperatures while playing?

curly245 · Nov 16, 2017

I will check.

Carnaxus :

my temperatures are 50c for gpu and 50c for cpu. is this ok? also it crashed while testing.

Carnaxus · Nov 26, 2017

Those temps seem fine. Can you check your Windows event log and see if there's anything weird? "Kernel power" is just saying that the computer shut down unexpectedly; if there's anything else immediately preceding one of those entries, the information there may help.
