Hey, I've faced this problem for more than six months now. My computer keeps restarting unexpectedly while I'm playing games. It doesn't happen unless I'm using any kind of intensive tasks. Sometimes it works fine, other times I experience frequent crashes. The same error code appears in the Windows Event Log—Event ID 41. I've also noticed visual glitches on a couple of occasions, only when the crashes seem to line up. I ran memtesting and the system passed. I replaced my NVMe SSD and cleared all drives, but nothing changed. I applied new cooling paste, rechecked connections, and even reinstalled Windows 10 before switching to Windows 11. The issue persists in both versions. I've updated the BIOS and drivers after each incident, but it seems the firmware might be outdated. I'm unsure if the problem lies with drivers, a faulty GPU, or power issues. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I've been considering this too. Online wattage calculators suggest my setup stays under 450W when running. It might be wise to use a wattmeter to verify the actual consumption.
The concern lies in sudden power surges rather than consistent output, which poses a greater challenge since detecting these fluctuations is difficult.
