It crashes every time I switch tabs from games.
I've encountered problems with my PC where pressing the Alt+Tab key from games causes it to crash and restart, displaying a black screen. During the crash, the Event Viewer logs show a Kernel-Power 41 event. The most reliable way to trigger the crash is by using a community server in Counterstrike 2, Alt+Tab while watching a YouTube video in Firefox. The issue also occurs when navigating menus in CS:GO and adjusting volume or music in Discord while playing xDefiant and Helldivers 2. I've tried various fixes including cleaning tools, driver reinstallations, and checking BIOS updates, but the problem persists across different systems and components. I'm unsure if it's a CPU or motherboard issue since I can't test those parts easily. The crashes seem to happen faster when Alt+Tab is used in certain contexts, even with DX11 enabled. I've also noticed inconsistent performance depending on the PSU and GPU I use.
Have you attempted to delete a RAM module to assess its impact?
