Random Shutdowns - Kernel Power

[Bullivent]

For the past two days my PC has been randomly turning itself off and restarting with no warning, It has done it about 10 times now I'd say, once while browsing the web, all the others were while gaming. A day or two before this started happening, I completely formatted the SSD and re-installed Windows 10.

The Critical error is Kernel Power - Event ID 41 and I have noticed there is an error that happens every time This happens which is Event Log - Event ID 6008.

I have took some steps to try stop it but I cannot find the cause at all so I came here,

So far I have;

- Modified fan speeds and made sure there is nothing overheating
- Changed power settings from balanced to performance and changed it so it never sleeps or turns display off
- Disabled any duplicated sound drivers/Any drivers I don't use as I have read this is a common cause
-Ensured my Power supply has enough power for my system
-Ensured nothing is Overclocked ( I have never overclocked this PC )
-I have turned off the settings which tells the PC to automatically restart after random shutdowns in the hope I would get an Error code however I still get nothing and it just restarts

-Risked updating my BIOS to the latest version

-Reset BIOS to defaults

My PC is around 8 Months old.

Check PSU connections and if possible test for a faulty PSU.

check if everything is plugged in right, and give every power cable a wiggle.

 

i have a HP power supply with a bad 24-pin, this is how i've been keeping it alive for the past 2-3 years of its 10 year lifespan.
