Hello!
For a long time now my rig has been consistently crashing, either during or after whenever i run a fullscreen application like video players or games. If I wait for about five minutes it will give me a bluescreen either with error code 0x00000124 or 0x00000101. The event log it tells me that the critical error was a kernel power event 41, and its causing the computer to do a hard hang and have to be restarted in order to recover. My first instinct was that the cause was my graphics setup (given that it only happens when gaming or watching videos), so I took them both out and tested each one individually, but the problem persisted. I've looked the problem up and found I should test the components individually with various software, so I ran FurMark for 30 minutes with no artifacts and no crashes, then i ran Prime 95 for 3 hours with no problems whatsoever, then I ran Memtest 86 for 7 passes with no errors, then I ran a check disk on both my primary drives with no problems either, so now my hypotheses is that it's my PSU having shortages, but I wanted a second opinion. All of my drivers, software, hardware, etc. is completely up to date. Any ideas?
Specs (if it helps):
i7-4770k (stock speeds)
ASUS Maximus VI Hero
two gtx 770's in SLI
8gb Corsair Vengeance @2133
1 SSD for OS and 1 HDD for date
Windows 7 Pro
Corsair HX850
And here's a link to a .txt with the event log details for the error (also attached to this post):
