Hello,
PC specs:
-Asus strix r9 380 4gb oc dcII
-INTEL i5-4460 3,2 Ghz 6
-MSI B85-G41 Pc Mate
-Cooler Master B600 v2 600W
-Kingston HyperX Fury Black 2x4GB

So my month old PC is shutting down randomly during gaming, but usually after 15 to 30 minutes.
(there are no blue screens; it shuts down like I would have hold the power button down.)
All the connections and stuff like that should be fine and every part is a one month old and they have worked perfectly this far. There's no weird sounds etc.
I've tried to make some kind of a trouble shooting, but I'm that good in this;
My temperatures shouldn't be the problem as my fans are working and the temps don't seem to rise above 50 Celsius. (I haven't yet run any test, but my drivers said the temp was 45 twenty minutes before shutdown and 40 when I rebooted the system)
I found the error from the event viewer and it was called critical error 41 kernel power. There was also system error 6008, but I think that was probably just caused by the critical error.
More info about the error in spoilers if that helps to identify this problem.

That's all I can think of. I hope you can help me to fix this problem.

Edit: Sorry if this is in the wrong area. I had some trouble with posting this.

I don't own any other PSU:s, so I guess RMA is the only option, but is there any way to be sure that it's the PSU? I know that's probably the most likely cause, but if it would be something else all that trouble and waiting would be for nothing +I would have to play handling fees.

Did you ever overclocked something? It sounds like your psu is not good. We can't say for sure whats the problem is and I think, you have to try a different unit. I can't make any sense of the error message, if Google does not help.

On this site, your psu is Currently un-tiered (Cooler Master B series v2 Channel Well Technology)

Probably it would be something like tier 4 or maybe 3 (just a guess).

Someone else from a different forum with same psu have random crashes with a similiar powerful graphics card.

Cooler Master B600 is my PSU and have not overclocked or changed anything in the GPU myself. Everything is as is straight from package
