Iv crashed twice today from "Kernal Power" from the event viewer, I added an extra hard drive and a white neon I had laying around and an akasa case fan yesterday and then formatted so i'm not sure what could be causing it..

Could it be the power supply isn't strong enough with new stuff I added?

Or could it be an overclocking or windows issue? Haven't said that, I haven't touched my overclock in over a month and these are my first crashes.

Try lowering your overclock or run at stock and also remove the items installed and see how you get on.
 
Will removed the fan and the neon, have windows installed on the hard drive so ill leave that, see if it stops me crashing.
