I have been getting a random reboot occasionally and have an entry in my event viewer that says Kernel-Power 41 is the source/ID...From what I was able to gather from my googling, it's likely due to a failing PSU. So unless someone here can help me fix it I'm just gonna replace my PSU.
Current Build
HD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
CPU: AMD FX 8350
GPU: XFX HD7950
MoBo: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Heatsink: Cooler Master V8
RAM: (shouldn't matter...cant remember brand atm tbh...lol 16GB though)
PSU:Thermaltake Smart M750
The only real thing I'd want to nitpick for it is I'd really like it to be a modular PSU...just looks much nicer

You can use HWmonitor to check temps. If you have an overclock on your CPU revert that too, it could be tossing this error. It could be your PSU but may as well do these tests first.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try to run all those tests tomorrow after work...hopefully that helps me solve my problem. If not...new PSU here I come
Yeah, I'd also suggest testing it out each component before ruling it as the PSU.
Otherwise moremana's suggestion is great. I won't lie though, Oklahoma wolf was right when saying the ribboned 12pin is really stiff when compared to a normal sleeved one. Only had chance to work with it once when setting up my brother's computer (I believe it was that one).
Really nice that SeaSonic and EVGA aren't doing that.
