Random hangs/restarts, with 1 BSOD in safe mode after clean install
I've been chasing my tail now for days on random hangs/restarts trying to find solutions to event 41 (63) kernel power. I've only had the 1 BSOD in safe mode and so hope it points to the problem I'm having.
I've tried just about every solution and diagnostic I can find.
I have reinstalled windows twice now, and still hangs after a clean install with nothing but a browser. Although it will idle fine all day and night, I find it will hang/restart after watching youtube for less than half an hour.
Even after getting all windows updates, latest drivers, BIOS flashed, I still get hangs/restarts.
I have tried memtest, CPU test, GPU test, (no temp problems) and hard drive diags which all passed ok. I've replaced PSU, RAM, Video card with no luck. My closest suspects maybe the NVIDIA SATA chipset, USB controller or PSU.
It all started I guess when my hard drive died 6 months ago after no problems for 6 years. I decided to upgrade my CPU, RAM, PSU, VIDEO, SSD and upgrade from Vista Business to 7 Pro.
It was all working fine for about 5 months, then last month the SSD died. Got a new HDD, reinstalled windows 7 and its been nothing but hangs and restarts. Tried all my original CPU, RAM, PSU and VIDEO...and it still hangs. Just the 1 BSOD, but I hope someone can translate it for me...
