Hi Swiss,

Yes, as posted at the start of this lengthening thread, I was/am getting a "Kernel Power Error 41".

I looked it up:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028504

...and, if you look under the "Resolution" section, it does indicate a PSU problem.

It probably matters less with games/software that don't max out a major power-hog component like the GPU, but CoD clearly does push the GPU very hard indeed, so perhaps it is the combination of maxed-out GPUs and slightly weak PSUs that's causing us the problems?
