Issue with PC crashing in tough games and tests due to Kernel-Power 41 error
Hello everyone. My computer is experiencing crashes during more intensive games. When running Furmark or the OC power configuration test and the 3D adaptive test, it crashes after just a few seconds. Initially, I thought the issue was related to the power supply unit, but after changing it, the problem persists. Reinstalling the GPU drivers via DDU didn’t resolve the issue. The Windows event log indicates a critical error 41.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:

include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
Other possible fixes I've attempted include: reseating the GPU, employing DDU for a clean driver installation, switching to a different PSU, avoiding overclocked RAM, and updating the BIOS to the latest version.
