Kernel power 41 (63) psu problem

[cjpcbuilder]

I am currently running the Asus ROG Maximus 13 Hero, intel core i9-11900k, Corsair Vengence RGB Pro 64gb 3200 MHz, Asus ROG Strix RTX 3070 8gb oc, Samsung 980 pro 1tb m.2 main storage, Samsung 970 evo 2tb storage, Corsair h150i AIO for cpu cooler, 9 Corsair ml120 rgb fans, and 3 fan controllers on the Corsair rm850x power supply (850w). 
 

I am having random restarts at sign in after restart. Viewing event viewer, I’m getting critical kernel power error 41 (63) bug code 278. After speaking with Microsoft they mentioned I am having a power problem. Maybe defective or underpowered psu. I’m looking at the Corsair RM1000x as a replacement psu. Is this enough power to evade the power kernel error restart error for the components I have?

it's possible. With some Asus motherboards and the 11700k spiking to nearly 300w, and a 3070 spiking to high amounts, it's possible that it is too much power needed for your system.

I spoke with Microsoft, as I mentioned in the post about getting a More powerful psu. Do you think I risk burning any components up or damaging anything since the system may be under powerEd? If I continue to run the system until I get my new unit?

Kernel power 41 error simply indicates that the PC had shutdown unexpectedly, this can be caused by anything, not just the PSU. And, if it was the PSU, as in it's OCP/OPP tripped then you should've cycled the PSU power switch to start up the PC again since it latches off not letting you to start the PC again. So, since you're mentioning simple restarts that's most likely not a PSU issue, more like RAM or CPU instability.

Yes, I done heavy Ram and PSU testing and they always passed, I did full clean OS installed and have and always on the updated drivers and farmware and Bios is updated. I still get this DAMN error - DOwn to the MB or GPU
