PC Keeps Re-Booting!!!
Hi, I hope to finish this before it re-boots AGAIN! Does it every few minutes!
Critical Error Event Code ID 41 (63)... Anybody know the story?? Tried MSCONFIG - Still Re-boots Done Safe Mode - last a bit longer. Done a deep Malware Check - Nothing! Did Memory Check - Nothing... Any pointers please. Thanks.

Assuming you're using windows?
Which one? Have you overclocked the PC? have you had the case open? If so, did you disturb the RAM?

Event ID 41 is a far to general error to use in fault-finding, it is simply an unexpected shutdown error.
As already asked is your system overclocked? have you added any extra hardware (extra USB drives/webcam/card reader etc)? How are you dong on temperatures? Assuming your system has started playing up for no apparent reason I would expect either failed hardware (most likely PSU) or, with our current climate - chip creep. If you know how reseat your Memory then do the same with your CPU.

Yeah im betting temperatures. It could be the CPU or GPU overheating, but it could also be the PSU that is shutting down due to heat. Its really common at this time of year.

Done a few more checks..
I'm not overclocking or modified it in any way. Everything was fine. Until now. It doesn't seem to be overheating and all the fans ate working fine. Opened it up and cleaned the heatsink and did a good dusting. Made sure everything was nice and secure and even changed the power supply as I had. Spare which I knew was good. But it's still doing it but I have just noticed that on my Performance the CPU is running at 96-98% even at Idle!!! Ram at 60-70%. It used to tun at about 2-5% before...???? This cannot be right.... Any ideas? Thanks.

You could try swapping the memory modules around, assuming you have more than one,
IE if there are two, take one out and try that, and then swap them over and try, I had a weird problem with mine that turned out to be a failing memory chip, Computer worked fine (albeit a little slower) on one until I got a new one... |
