PC Crashing at random moments Kernel-power event ID 41

Question

Hello,

I am having some issues with my custom build PC, I have built it a month ago and since then I am having a random crash happening to me when playing games. This crash happens once in like 5 hours of gaming (Fortnite, FiveM). When looking at the event viewer I saw the following "Critical":

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

With the XML view at the bottom of this post (ignore my pc name).

I have the following specs:

Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX II
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X 8G OC
RAM: Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3600
SSD: Crucial BX500 1TB
PSU: Cooler Master MWE 750 White - V2 PSU
Windows 11

My drivers are fully up to date (haven't tried BIOS but its 1 month old so) and windows is up to date.
I hope you guys could help me out.

Advanced troubleshooting for Event ID 41

"BTW I also tried resetting the whole PC, including hard disk, windows and BIOS"-it seems to be a power supply problem. Check the PSU and it's cables...

Hi there,

These crashes are related to memory corruption and are probably caused by a driver. You can follow these below articles to find the driver and memory leak which is causing you this BSOD.

Driver verifier is a utility built into the OS that will often find the driver/drivers that are the underlying cause of BSOD/Crashes.

Memtest is easy to use and is an accurate test of your computer memory. It can tell you if your memory is bad, a motherboard slot is bad, etc.

Once you find the faulty drivers you can then update or reinstall the specific driver to rectify this issue.
