How old is your PSU? Kernal Power Error is an unexpected shutdown of Windows. The only way to check if your PSU is cutting out and shutting down is to get yourself a VOM and get voltage readings from a MOLEX connector and see if your voltage drops to '0' when it shuts down.

When i set up I think it would of been on auto settings for the bios

the thing is it isnt a blue screen of death, its like someone pressed the reset button the screen goes black and it boots up again.

 
This happened on the 30th and this was the only one in those folders that you suggested, however it has been happening since this and in the event log it says this:

BCC 144 is a USB 3.0 issue: http://www.faultwire.com/solutions-fatal_error/BUGCODE-USB3-DRIVER-0x00000144-*1355.html
 

Is that Windows 10 or Windows 7?

yeah everything is updated and nothing stands out in device manager, havent tried booting in safe mode yet! shall try now.

The kernel power event ID 41 error occurs when the computer is shut down, or it restarts unexpectedly.

******* CHECK YOUR AUDIO DRIVERS IN DEVICE MANAGER! *****
***** If you have more than one DISABLE ONE AT A TIME AND TRY TO CAUSE THE CRASH!
 
Does your MB have audio drivers, installed ?
 
Did you load total Nvidia driver package - which includes sound drivers ?
 
 
I run DDU, and custom install the EVGA / Nvidia drivers
 
Use DDU (Display driver uninstaller) in safe mode to clean out all your nvidia drivers. Use the clean and restart (highly recommended) option. Sajin LINK
 
--- Only selecting PhysX and the actual GPU driver, none of the other "stuff" and select clean install.
 
( I do NOT load GeForce Experience software, Nvidia 3D drivers, Nvidia Sound )
 
 
Did you upgrade to Win 10 ------ OR ----- Clean install ?
 
 
Double check all of your power cables, Fully seated, little clips are locked onto the socket bump
 
 
GPU power (8-pin side goes into GPU & 6-pin + 2-ping goes into GPU)

 

 
above is the audio drivers i can see, also it did mention the 970 gaming board did have on board audio drivers
 
Yeah not too happy with windows 10 atm lol! such a pain
 
and yes it was a clean install of windows 10 and also i checked to make sure all the wires were connected properly to the motherboard and the power supply.
 
I am going to download DDU and see if that works

Nevermind, I see you mentioned you were using Windows 10 in your original post. There have been other complaints from Windows 10 users about the Intel USB 3 drivers failing to load. There is a download for Windows 7 but not for Windows 10 as they are supposed to be installed by Windows 10 during installation. Someone has modded the INF file for theWindows 7 drivers if I can find them somewhere. I had no problems myself  since my Windows 10 install was an upgrade from Windows 7 and the USB 3 drivers and controller were already in place. Open your Device Manager and under System Devices see if there isn't a yellow triangle next to that Intel USB controller.
 
P.S. Nevermind again. Our replies crossed and I was still typing when the others had posted. Sorry.

You Could try and update the USB Drivers:
USB 3.0 Driver: Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver for Intel® 8/9/100 Series and C220/C610 Chipset Family
Other USB 3.0 Drivers

just done a clean install of the nvidia drivers doing just as you said only installing the driver and the physx, ill keep you posted

actually they are the only audio drivers on board now so i dont need to disable them i dont think otherwise i cant listen to anything 

Aaaaah ok cheers man, think the solutions have worked so far and has been a long time of constant gaming so think the issue might possibly be fixed as of now!

Seems like it was only a temp fix, didnt do it for a good few hours but got reset again

will that not be hard to monitor because ill have to be constantly watching it as and when it restarts?
