So my PC has randomly shut off twice in the last couple of days and I'm not sure why..
I have had CPU Temperature warnings of it reaching 65C but it never goes much higher than that.
Both times it has happened, its been in a League of Legends game... (Quite Oddly)
I have looked up some solutions and it said to look in the Event Viewer for information and I found this -
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
(I believe the other few logs are from power cuts in the house)
Is it that my PSU is having random failures?
It shuts off with no warning at all... [No BSOD]
AMD FX 8350 [CPU]
16GB RAM [Corsair XMS3 1600MHz]
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 [GPU]
XFX PRO550W [PSU]
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 [MoBo]

What is your specs for your computer.
Just yesterday, i fixed my brothers computer which had your problem with same error code.
It turns out that he had a bad stick of ram which was causing the blue screens and sudden shutdowns

If you list your full PC specs, including your PSU wattage, I'd be able to help a lot better.
Why cant I help with just the Event logs? Error 41 is a very general error given when your PC isn't shut down cleanly. (Like if it crashes and you hard reset it, or hold down the power button to force-off the PC) There isn't enough information for me to say "yeah this could be it" since it could literally be anything.

Sounds like a temp issue. Do you have stock cooler on your CPU and is it overclocked?
65* is pretty darn high and most people say that's the limit for a 83** cpu. I have personally let my 8320 get to 70 with no issues though I don't run it 24/7 like that
