Shuts down during gameplay yet the system remains active
Shuts down during gameplay yet the system remains active
Hey, I saw a similar issue and could use some guidance. I was playing TF2 and CS:GO recently, and both games triggered this problem twice. My monitor would shut down but the PC stayed on, and I checked Event Viewer—it showed a power kernel 41 error. I tried reinstalling Windows, thinking maybe a hardware fix is needed. Temperatures stayed under 80°C, so the Ryzen 7 5700G B550 DS3H board looks fine. The PSU is Corsair CV550 PSU with RGB lighting, and I’m using Corsair Vengeance RAM at 3200MHz. The only way to restart it was to turn off and back on the PSU. What should I do next?
Specs: Ryzen 7 5700G, B550, DS3H, Corsair Vengeance RAM 3200MHz, Corsair CV550 PSU, Corsair 175 RGB case.
Current issues: Are you experiencing overheating or performance drops?
System: Are you running Windows 10?
The issue has persisted over time. My temperatures remain normal after checking with hardware data and running Cinebench. I'm currently on Windows 10.
Let me help you with that. Could you provide more details about what you're trying to do?
