Issue with PC random reboots?
Issue with PC random reboots?
My configuration includes:
-Rogstrix x570e gaming
-Ryzen 9 5900x
-RTX 3080 OC version (Factory "OC" – no changes made)
-32 GB RAM @ 3200RPM
While playing Hogwarts Legacy, the system began to restart repeatedly. It was unusual since it had happened only once before, but each reboot brought me back to the BIOS, trapping me in a loop. I had to perform a cold reboot several times to escape.
I investigated and noticed Hogwarts Legacy has many issues. I suspected the driver might be corrupted, so I reinstalled it. After that, I switched to Ghostwire Tokyo without any problems. However, today I was testing Fallout 4 with the latest modlist, paused the game, took my dog to the vet, and returned after a few hours when the computer had rebooted again.
I checked the Event Viewer, but the only critical message was "Kernel-power," which didn’t provide any useful information. This situation is puzzling because I had been using the machine from 7am to 1am, playing Ghostwire from 6pm to 1am every week, and never experienced any issues. It’s hard to understand what might be causing this if you have any advice.
What is the model number and make of your PSU? How outdated is the PSU? Typically, reboot issues are linked to a defective or failing power supply, although other factors may be involved. Are you seeing error message 41 in the Kernel Power window? If so, this could indicate an underpowered or faulty power supply problem. Additionally, consider re-seating your RAM and graphics card on the motherboard. You might also try running CHKDSK and SFC commands to inspect your hard drive and Windows system files.
The event number is 41, the PSU is more than two years old, and the system runs at 750w. DISM and SFC were executed, and both reported no issues. CHKDSK indicated a repair was needed for the final section, which resulted in the following outcomes:
System file inspection on C disk revealed an NTFS file system. A disk check has been arranged. Windows will now perform the disk verification.
First stage: Analyzing basic file structure...

The PSU seems to be OKAY. I don't think there might an issue using this SKU. Some other thing might be causing random reboots. but doesn,and the more modern RM750.
