Critical Kernel-Power error when GPU is on load

Hello there,

I'm currently facing very annoying critical Kernel-Power errors every time my GPU is on load. Since Monday, 20. Feb. 2017 I'm using a GTX 1070. Right after installing the gpu I ran Grand theft auto 5 on maximum settings for testing. Everything was fine until
after a couple of minutes my PC suddenly shut down and rebooted on it's own. This happened a second time and a third time testing with Diablo 3, which is far less performance hungry.

So I checked the event viewer, which showed me:

I also observed that I had Kernel-Power issues in the past, using my Radeon HD 7870 - though I never realized them until now. Regarding the times they occurred, I obviously wasn't sitting at my PC at that time.

Here is the full log:

At first I suspected my Power Supply Unit as the malefactor, so I bought a new one. The shut downs continued.

I've monitored my temperatures during load and they were perfectly fine. (Cpu @ ~50°C and GPU @ 60-70°C).

Furthermore I do not receive any Kernel-Power errors when my PC is idle or used for browsing, streaming via VoD, etc. (My computer is almost running 24/7)

So I did try an older version of my graphics driver - no effect

updated Chipset and BIOS (UEFI) - no effect

My pc specifications:

Win 10 prof 64bit

Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3

GAINWARD GeForce GTX 1070 Phoenix GS 8 (brand-new)

ASRock Z87 Pro3 Mainboard

16 Gb G.skill DDR3 (800Mhz)

Crucial_CT512MX100 SSD 500 Gb

beQuiet Pure Power 10 (500W) PSU (brand-new)

Zbook,

Thankyou very much for your reply. In relation to your first post, I have carried out steps 10-22 (apart from step 15, I will attempt to leave it running with this tonight). The screenshots are attached. I have also uninstalled the programmes detailed above. Unfortunately, as my laptop is a custom built from PCSpecialist, they do not provide BIOS updates anywhere easily accessible. I will phoen them today and see if there are any updates.

Kind Regards
Ash
