Computer crashes when playing games - Kernel-Power 41, volmgr 161, and EventLog 6008

Hello everyone.

I have been having this issue for a while now, but just now starting to use my PC again.

I keep getting 3 errors when playing video games, and it is completely random. The three errors are Kernel-Power 41, volmgr 161, and EventLog 6008. Kernel-Power 41 crashes my PC and gives me the BSOD, and sometimes sends me to the BIOS.

My computer is updated and I do security scans often. I think it has to be some sort of hardware issue or something, but I have no idea.

What should I do to troubleshoot this issue? It happens every night when playing games like Rust and Rocket League.

System Info:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8 Core

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

Memory: 32 GB 3200 MHz DDR4

Drive: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB

Thanks in advance - Brayden

    See if your computer is creating minidump files.

    These files are in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

    Copy any files you have to your desktop and store them in a ZIP file. Then upload the ZIP file to the cloud (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc...), choose to share it, and get the link.

    Post the link to the ZIP file here.
