I began noticing BSODs in December 2023. They keep appearing regardless of what I do. It only happens when my PC is idle, not during gameplay. Often I wake up to see a screen error while sleeping. Because of my job, I can’t turn off the computer at night, though weekends are an exception. The BSOD messages change constantly, never staying consistent. I’ve replaced and upgraded various hardware parts, checked numerous YouTube guides and help forums for potential fixes. Now I’m really stuck and unsure what to do except replace everything and start fresh. Here are my current details:

Hardware:
- Motherboard: B450 GAMING PLUS MAX
- Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit (Build 22631.3155)
- BIOS Version: H.K0
- BIOS Release Date: 10/20/2023
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
- RAM: 32 GB @ 8 GB DDR4-2666, Chun Well Technology Holding Limited CL16-18-18 D4-3000
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
- Storage: SSD (TEAM T253512GB, 476.94 GB), SSD (CT500P3SSD8, 465.76 GB), HDD (ST1000LM035-1RK172, 931.51 GB)
- Network: Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller, Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz
- Power Supply: Thermaltake Tough power GX2 80+ Gold 600W
- Windows Version: 23H2 (Installed 12/15/2023)
- OS Features: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22684.1000.0

The machine is roughly three years old. I recently upgraded the graphics card, motherboard, and power supply. The OS was already installed, but I had to reinstall it before. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated—I’m exhausted from dealing with this. I’ve attached some screenshots of my event viewer and the latest BSOD XML data for reference.

Kernel Power ID 41 relates to power delivery.
Low quality PSU – unclear why you purchased it.
Three steps to consider: if all three don’t resolve the issue, the problem may be more serious than it appears;
#1 Upgrade to a high-quality PSU such as Seasonic Focus/Vertex/PRIME, Corsair RMx/RMi/HXi/AXi, or Super Flower Leadex in 650W range.
#2 Replace mismatched RAM – use only one brand (preferably Adata or Chun Well).
#3 Format the OS drive and perform a clean Windows installation.

The PSU appears to have poor quality. Since you're on a tight budget, you might want to try replacing the RAM first with Corsair Vengeance Pro 4 sticks of 8GB.

Cheap price = cutting corners during manufacture and using cheap components to build it. That's how. Also, not all PSUs are created equal. For 2nd opinion about your PSU quality, look at PSU Tier list, link: https://forums. Your PSU is Tier C, low priority unit. Borderline Tier D. Hence why low quality. Or let's put it this way; price comparison between 4 PSUs, pcpp: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compar...D3,pG6qqs/ In there, is your current PSU + 3 options of what i suggested (where all 3 are Tier A). Now, can you tell me, why your PSU is 3 times cheaper than those good quality PSUs i suggested? All PSUs are 80+ Gold and in 600W range. So, being fully-modular isn't surely the only reason why good quality PSUs cost 3 times more than your PSU. Can you figure the price difference out? Also, which of the 4 PSUs you'd use, if given choice? And why? Rather than spending money on new RAM, you can just remove mismatched RAM from the system, so that there isn't a RAM conflict, which is quite likely. Also, it won't hurt you to try running with only 2 sticks. Though, new RAM will not remove Kernel Power ID 41 issue. That is power delivery and either the fault of PSU or MoBo. But since you have low quality PSU, PSU is the most likely culprit.
