Issues with PC restarting or freezing frequently.
Issues with PC restarting or freezing frequently.
Freezing or restarting tends to occur most often when the PC is idle, though it also happens while I'm actively using the system.
No blue screen appears; the computer freezes completely or restarts.

I've reviewed the Windows Event Viewer and it consistently shows the same error.
Event 41, Kernel-Power with keyword 0x8000400000000002
I've attempted several fixes online, such as updating BIOS and drivers, disabling ACPI, enabling high performance power mode, and turning off global C-states, but results have been unsatisfactory. Should I consider hardware or software next? Appreciate your assistance!
Have you considered reinstalling Windows? Not recommending it; just a thought unless you have important files that can't be replaced, then I get it. More amusing is that the same Event Error happened about ten years ago on my old Windows 7 PC when I first started learning about them—HAHAHA—it turned out to be a Trojan Virus. By then, Windows 10 was already around, so I just upgraded and BOOM—no more errors or viruses. Or maybe try using Malwarebytes, as it might be a missing file or two needing replacement. Food for thought.
I believe the issue could be related to my CPU. There was a suggestion to increase the voltage to 1.2v, which appears to have resolved the problem temporarily.
