So, the pc has decided to switch itself off now and again and its getting annoying as I cant game..

According to Event Viewer its the dreaded Event 41 (kernel Power) and after this 2 warnings (The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device Root\SIDESHOW\0000.)

Could it possibly be the psu, or ram or something really easy??
 
Right, updated the audio drivers, still switches off.

Done a ram test 100% ok no probs. Uninstalled Sideshow. Also disabled the HDMI Audio and the Realtek HD Audio and just using the Xfi.

Has just restarted and only errors that appear are for "atksgt service failed to start" & "lirsgt service failed to start"

Psu is a Jeantech 700watt storm.

I can do most things apart from game, as soon as it loads up and i click start *bang* off it goes???

Really stumped
 
All drivers up to date...

Ive moved it over to my big tele, got the side off, not done anythin else to it, and its playin fine:confused::confused:

Connected via hdmi (also sound) and not as many usb's plugged in (i.e no g19, or usb 2 hub, iPod dock, printer, or external drives (3))
