GL551JW Random Restarts, no BSOD, Kernel-Power Error 41

Hi, I've had an Asus GL551JW Gaming laptop since for the last six month and so far about twice a month it will crash with this error:

Has anyone figured out a fix for this forced restarting or should I contact customer support and get this repaired?

memtest came back, no errors to report after four passes

I would turn it in before warranty expires. It is most likely hardware related.

Anyone find a fix? I'm a full time student so I can't send this laptop in until June.

Well for the GL551JW is available a new BIOS: BIOS 209 - http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/G551JW/G551JWAS209.zip

You could try to upload your Bios and then see if the error continues, since the Windows really doesn't provide enough info to diagnose your cause of Kernel Errors.
