Hi
I have a friend that has been having issues with his custom built gaming PC .. The machine is 3 years old and never had issues until recently .. The machine started to crash when starting any game ( Windows 10 reboot ) .. Took the machine out of warranty back to the People that built it in the hope they could cure the issue. Their response was that the Graphics card was faulty and charged My friend £150 for a new Graphics card . When they got the machine home and started to use it again as soon as a game was started the machine crashed ( Windows 10 reboot ) So back to square one ... My friend took the machine to an independent repair shop that stress tested the machine and found no issues .... confused He has asked Me what I think it could be and I'm wondering if it is the PSU rather then Graphics card and or Motherboard .... Has anyone else Got any suggestions what it could be ???? And after checking Windows error logs when the machine crashes windows Generates the Kernel Power 41 error ....
Thanks in advance to any suggestions .....
