BSOD Kernel Error 41 While Gaming

Question

I have a custom built PC from CyberPower that freezes and gets BSOD when gaming sometimes. I also do very intense audio production work but I have never once had a BSOD happen during those sessions. While gaming, sometimes it can happen quite often and sometimes I will go a few sessions without anything happening.

Here is a txt file with my computer specs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r3rz65sndo6cx2r/comp%20specs.txt?dl=0
Here are a few minidump files I've grabbed (some are recent and one is a little older but should all be from the same issue happening during gaming): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/w9xoev89y6beo2rdsdwpe/h?dl=0&rlkey=spvm7gu23jx9is7btugihsiot
I thought this was a PSU issue so I did upgrade to a Seasonic 1000w Platinum rated supply but I got another freeze while playing another game just today. Also, these games never crash, it's always the whole system that freezes and the PC forces a hard boot.

Thanks for any help!
