Every now and then, I get a freeze up on screen, a buzzing sound, then the pc reboots. It's extremely rare and only happens during games. Happened in 2009 in Crysis, that threw up a BSOD once or twice, and recently a couple of times in NFS Shift, no BSOD, just freezes, goes to a black screen and lines of colour, then reboots itself. Event ID 41 kernel power is what is logged. I disabled my cpu overclock the other day and the crashes have gone. But event viewer shows 2 entries for the same kernel power error late april before I overclocked. Could it be audio drivers clashing? My device manager shows AMD High Definition Audio Device, and Realtek High Definition audio. This thread seems to think audio drivers clashing might be a cause for kernel 41.
