PC restarts unexpectedly on its own.
The system is running with Ryzen 5 3600 and RX 5700 XT. It has 32 GB of Corsair Vengeance 3600 mhz memory, a 500 GB Samsung SSD, and a 2 TB WD Black hard drive. The power supply is an 800W Corsair unit, and the case used is NZXT H510 or NZXT KrakenX63 AIO. During gaming sessions, it occasionally restarts only when stress testing, reaching temperatures around 95°C on the CPU and about 65°C on the GPU. Each reboot triggers a kernel error (Event ID 41, Category 63). The system restarts without a clean shutdown, suggesting possible instability. Event logs show dropped audit entries (Event ID 1101), indicating issues only during gameplay. The BIOS is current, ruling out PSU problems. Stress testing and intense games seem to be the main causes, but the problem persists unpredictably, occurring multiple times in a day or not at all for several days.
which 800W Corsair power supply is it?

To verify a PSU correctly? No. Because many individuals lack oscilloscopes or load testers nearby, the typical approach is replacing it with something known to function properly.
However, what exactly is the PSU? We are still lacking essential details.
