So its been over a year and I have always been having this issue of my pc randomly restarting while im gaming it sometimes happens while im doing other stuff. When I check event viewer it says my pc crashed because of Kernel power 41 which is a PSU related error. I have gotten an RMA twice from corsair and got new psus but this issue would always happen. I even swapped out different pc parts including motherboard to see if I have other deflective components, but no even when i use my evga psu nothing happens at all when I use my corsair psu, my game restarts but in a very specific place in the game and not all games, but sometimes it just restarts randomly.  So I have tried everything software and hardware related I dont know how to fix my problem I don't know what to do anymore. Could it be possible that the electricity in my house isn't reaching the psu properly?  I also cant use my EVGA psu because its 500 wats and I need a 750 watt psu for my 3070. 

 

For example Im trying to play Rouge Company and whenever i go and play the tutorial mission and start hitting the dummy my pc would just restart in the place all the time. For gta it only restert once with the new rma psu, but the old psu it would restart my pc more often.

Does it restart or shut down at the slightest nudge? Happened to me 3 or 4 times. 2 of which is during a stress test. But a few says ago, it just so happened that i was replacing the top filter, nudged the front panel and it restarted. So, during boot up, i pressed the plastic frame ( the case/area surrounding the power button ) and it really is clicking the power button. Turned out that the front panel is interfering with the power button. Had to remove the front panel, remove the front i/o pcb, then wedge something in between the case and the pcb. It hasn’t restarted since.
