Hey everyone,
Need your help with this one.
When playing some games the PC completely turns off and after a few seconds powers back on.
Only happens with certain games and at random stages, not at set points where the system could be under heavier load. It happens on DoW2 and Napoleon: Total War. On Napoleon it happened on the opening video so far in. DoW2 i can get it to do it on the Peformance Test but again it can get through it fine sometimes and shutdown others.
I've attached the DXDIAG and below are the PC's specs.
I've ran stress tests on the CPU and Memory but it does nothing to the PC apart from heat the CPU a bit, no where near auto-shutdown levels.
In the Event Viewer it shows a Critical Error, Source: Kernel Power
Event 41:

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
BIOS is at it's latest revision and has been tested with previous versions.
Unticked the restart at major failure but as the machine does't restart, it powers off, this makes no difference in finding an error screen.
Low Settings, High Settings, Low Resolution, High Resolution, nothing makes a difference.
