Hello, I have recently been having problems with my pc that I built around 1 month ago.
The problem that I have been encountering is that my pc often suddenly loses power when I am in a game, sometimes it happens when I am booting up my pc or when I am simply browsing the internet. It is not a bluescreen error as the pc just forces a restart and when it's back up there is no info given about a bluescreen.
I have been trying to locate the source of the problem by myself. I have used memtest86 which gave the all clear, so my RAM is fine, and I have used the System File Checker (sfc /scannow in the command prompt) which also gave the all clear, so my Operating System is fine. As far as I am aware all of my drivers are up to date so that leaves me with a suspicion that my PSU is to blame.
I have had a look through the Windows Event Viewer, and it seems that every time the power goes off on my PC, a critical error is produced in there. It is an "Event 41, Kernel-Power" error. Below I will leave a list of my PC components and the details that are left in my Event Viewer. Any suggestions with help will be greatly appreciated as this is a problem that I would really like to fix (for obvious reasons).
