specs: 5600x; asus b550 f gaming; 3070ti; 16gb ram; 850x corsair psu.
I am experiencing system crashes and restarts after a couple hours of gaming. This can happen with any resource intensive game, but even with team fortress 2.
it’s always kernel-power, event id 41.
i am on the latest bios and nvidia drivers. XMP is not enabled. memtest86 yields no errors.
i have replaced the cpu, ram, psu and even motherboard in the past to try to find the root of this issue. nothing provided any long lasting solutions.
here is the copied log. it always looks like this, except for time/date.

i’m at my wit’s end here. should i just give up and rebuild a new computer from scratch?

Event code 41 only means the system shut down, nothing more. Further, Event Viewer isn’t going to give you much, if any information about why your computer is crashing. Run this for me and then give me the results https://rtech.support/docs/factoids/get-specs.html#what-is-get-specs
