Hi,
I'm new to posting here but have sifted these forums for months and read multiple threads here and other forums about this kernel power problem. I've been getting this error since I originally swapped my boot HD from a SATA to an OCZ agility 3 ( yes I've also read their forums and problems with it ) - I'll randomly be working, gaming, watching media and the screen will freeze and I'll have to force a shutdown via power button. It generally happens abot 95% of the time during gaming.
First off I thought it was the drive so I swapped it out for my old SATA and it kept happening ( not as much ) then I tried a new PSU went from a corsair 620 silver series to corsair 850 gold series as my video card used alot of power ( Sapphire HD5970 dual gpu ) this didn't work either. I tried a new card and now have a Sapphire HD7970 which uses way less power but the problem still exsists. Here are some cliffs on things I've tried :
1 : New PSU
2 : New video card
3 : Different hard drives
4 : Upgraded firmware on SSD
5 : Flashed to newest BIOS on motherboard ( Gigabyte X58A-UD3R rev 2.0 ) running FH
6 : Tried disabling HD audio devices ( read on another forum )
7 : Disabled turbo feature in BIOS on CPU ( read on another forum )
8 : Tried disabling HPET and tried running it in 64-bit ( read on another forum )
9 : Changed mouse ( old one got run down )
10 : tried different DVI cable
11 : Tried without HDMI cable from TV into card so it was just single display
12 : Tried lower graphic settings and multiple 3d settings
Sooooo after reading around various people state they have fixed their issues ( not many ) but there are no definitive answers on how to or why this happens. Below is a cut n paste from my most recent crash ( event viewer log ) - any comments, suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone running Windows 8 preview get this issue, does anyone know if it exsists in W8 or older OS's?
