I'd have this issue for a year now. My PC randomly shuts off to black and has a critical kernel power event listed as the cause. I've changed out my power supply, turned off overclocking, unplugged everything nonessential to reduce power use, and tested the surge protector. It keeps happening. A weird thing is that my keyboard also makes my PC throw a "usb device malfunctioned" notification whenever I turn my PC back on after experiencing the black screen.

Is there anything else I can do or try? And diagnostic software that can help pin point the issue?

There is my general part list:
Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i9 12900K 32 °C
Alder Lake 10nm Technology
CPU Cooler
Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD 360mm

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age. As for your motherboard, what BIOS version are you on for your board? How are you cooling that processor?
All the PSU's I've tried have been a Seasonic Prime TX-1300.

System information lists the BIOS as "
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 1304, 3/7/2022"

And the CPU is water cooled with a Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD 360mm
