EventID 41 Kernel Power error fix

So if I play a game like R6 or Minecraft, I won't have any problems, but if I play something like Battlefield 1 or Warzone, my computer will randomly stop displaying and restart. How do I fix this?

    Thanks! Well, I installed a new PSU today and it did not solve the problem. The RAM tests I tried didn't detect anything either. Computer place said they do diagnostic like you suggested, so I'll definitely do that if I can't figure it out.

    Hello Ramesh. I was thinking, should I go with the RM850x or cancel the order and just go to a BeQuiet 1000W PSU. It's not much more money but it seems like a big jump in wattage.

    Also, my computer crashed again while playing Battlefield 1. I checked the report log and I noticed that a few things were different than the one I originally submitted, specifically the PowerButtonTimestamp and the BootAppStatus. Does this mean anything or is it still most likely the PSU?

    Hi Sean, This is Ramesh.

    The Kernel-Power event ID 41 with a BugcheckCode of 0 is usually a Power Supply Unit (PSU) issue. However, there have been instances where the problem was caused by a faulty memory module.

    In all likelihood, it's a hardware issue. If swapping the PSU or installing a higher-wattage PSU doesn't help, this issue will require hardware troubleshooting.

    Thank you so much Ramesh. I ordered a new PSU a few days ago. I currently have an rm750e and I ordered a rm850x. I'll tell you as soon as I replace the PSU how it works.
