Computer randomly restarts with kernel-power error 41

My computer has been restarting with power-kernel error 41 for some time and it doesn't matter what i'm doing. The screen will freeze for a second or two and then it will shut down and restart with no minidump or bsod. The only information i get from it is a basic event viewer file which i will post here and see if anyone can point me in a general direction as to what is causing it.

I realize this probably isn't much to go on but i've tried everything from a new psu to switching out memory, updating drivers, and everything in between. The temps of my cpu and gpu are also well below the concern threshold. Cpu temp never goes above 45c and ive never seen gpu go above 60c. I have also re-installed windows 10 and the same error occurs. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated because i am losing my mind here.

    For Ccleaner uncheck:

    a) Memory Dumps
    b) Windows Log Files

    The computer is optimally configured for BSOD.
    And you've got easy monitoring with reliability monitor.

    The log collector had displayed that it found one livekernelevent dump file but it was not able to be collected..

    Often live kernel events can occur without compromising the end user experience.

    If they become more frequent or more symptomatic they can be investigated.

    Maintain this thread for several more days to see if there are any more unexpected shutdowns and restarts.

    If there are no additional events then close this thread.

    The thread can be reopen or a new thread created for any new problems.

    Did all the tests i could. Had one exception with the gather additional dump files.bat because it wasnt able to locate any dump files in the folder it looks in. Seatools long generic test was a passed result.
