Hey there,
I have had a kernel-41 issue for a while with my built rig from a year ago.
At first I assumed hardware or some sort and have been troubleshooting the completely wrong way for months, but sources led me to believe instability is causing the issue with the dynamic overclocking.
The kernel 41's are very intermittent, could be 3 times in a day, could be days, could be a full month before my PC randomly restarts itself, whether it's IDLE or not, mostly noticed it occurs more when IDLE though.
I posted about it a while ago and someone had a similar issue, and they told me what fixed it for them.
I reference this post for this.

It seems he turned off EIST and it fixed his issue. (his English wasn't great and he isnt' sure what he did to fix it) but his other options I tried, never thought about overclocking instability until I got an answer like this. It seems I've been going about my issue the entire wrong way, as of now, I am using the auto over clock feature OC GENIE 4, which turns off C states and turbo and eist and keeps a constant 4.8 clock (temps never go above 70 on the cpu). I am doing this as testing purposes and just did so yesterday.
I've done hours of research on Cstates, etc. So I do know what they do. But my board does not let me choose which cstates to enable, only a "package" from c0 to c9 or leave it to auto, this is where I am entirely confused.
Other research is on this on what to do is difficult as well, I need the c states as I do not need a constant overclock like this, it is a waste of power and I run my pc 24/7, so this is an issue. Research tell me "disable c states and keep c1e enabled" but if I disable c-states I cannot enable c1e as that seems to be part of it. Other research says keep c3 and c6 enabled (I'm assuming that's old info since I can go up to c9), but I can only choose a package.
I never overclocked before because I never had the need to, but dynamic overclocking I am loving. But it's causing instability. Also, c1e was disabled by default on my board upon checking while EIST was enabled, not sure if that could have been the issue?
My build is
32gb of corsair vengeance ddr 4 2666mhz ram
mobo msi z270 sli plus
cpu - i7 - 7700k
gpu - gigabyte GTX 1080 gaming edition (which apparently clocks itself via gpu boost dymanicaly as well).
TLDR, I 'm trying to figure out how to keep my dynamic clocking on my cpu so it's no longer unstable. Does anyone have any ideas?
