Kernal Power just means windows has had an unexpected shutdown.
The fact that you have to unplug / wait before a restart does seem to indicate overheat but have you looked at PSU voltages as well?
PC Crashes playing games (Kernel Power)
I've had somewhat inconsistent crashes while playing demanding games such as Overwatch, I can play for hours without a problem or I can be on for 30 minutes before my computer totally shuts down. Upon shutting down I need to unplug the computer for a little while before it'll start back up again. Upon checking the Event Viewer I can see "Kernel Power 41/42" appears a lot but I have no idea how to remedy this, any and all help is massively appreciated. (PS, I monitored my temps and GPU was maxing at about 63c, CPU at about 60c so I doubt that's the issue)
