Recently everytime I try to game I received a kernel power error so I swapped power supplies and that did nothing, I then changed motherboards and nothing again. I thought it was a software issue but I can’t find anything to fix my problem. My set up is;
Ryzen 5 5600x
Rtx 3080 founders
Asus x570 I gaming
Corsair Sfx 750
Corsair vengeance 32gb ram
Please help I’m desperate

2021-06-01T21:48:07+00:00 I found global c states and it had 3 options; enabled, disabled and auto.
I’ll look through the book

Are you talking about Kernel-Power 41 (63) error? Unfortunately this is hardware issue.
See some details at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client...
Try to turn off all CPU power saving modes in BIOS (different C states) to check if the problem is in motherboard. Check for updated BIOS.
