Kernel event 41 indicates a power delivery failure, leading to random reboots or shutdowns. These issues typically stem from two main problems:
1. The CPU/GPU overheats, triggering the system to shut down to avoid damage.
2. The PSU cannot provide sufficient power to the GPU or maintains unstable voltage for the PC.

First, check your CPU/GPU temperatures—both when idle and under load. If they are normal, the PSU is likely the culprit.
Also, identify the Corsair RM-series PSU model you own. There are four variants: RM, RMe, RMi, and RMx. (Listing the part number can help clarify.)

The PSU is two years old. Was it purchased new or used/refurbished?
