can you help me out with this one please
 
You could run sfc /scannow to check for file integrity issues but 'Karnel-Power' could be an indication of a lack of power.

Lupa 750 Watt? does your PSU look like this? how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking.


 
Go here, set 'initial size' to 10GB and 'Max Size' to 12GB

Tho i find it a little strange its using that much, like you i have 8GB of RAM, i played 3 hours of BF4 solid last night in Mantle, not even a slight glitch. and as you can see i set my Page File to 7GB.

Yeah, thinking more about it you could have a memory leak issue, try that first, if it fills up 10/12GB something is very wrong.
 
I would give the gpu a go on stock speeds; i had mine stable at 1155 benching hevean but as soon as i started bf4 it all went **** up and black screened
 
ok so i tried that but getting really bad stuttering now. my frame rate can be 100 than stutters down to 30 and jumps back up 100fps

You have yours water cooled?

I have a very similar issue. When I up the clocks or volts the display starts cutting out. The machine is still running and the display sometimes comes back momentarily, but the higher the clocks or voltage, the worse the problem gets.

I had this problem with nzxt g10, and now under full cover ek blocks. It's infuriating, because when I put the stock (powercolor pcs 290) cooler back on, the problem goes away and I can up the volts and clocks without this issue ever presenting itself.

I get the impression it is somehow linked to pressure on gpu when mounted, because if I loosen the screws, it seems to alleviate the issue. Of course t maps are far worse.

I have not found a solution yet for myself, but with job hunting, I don't have time to sit and troubleshoot for hours.
