I recently upgraded my PC with a new motherboard, RAM, power supply, and CPU Now, it crashes randomly while playing games, and when I look at the event viewer, I see several errors and critical messages. The key one that jumped out, and the most recent was the "critical Kernel-Power 41 (63)." I have a dump to share.

Google Drive dump

My new PC specs are:
Motherboard: MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI (MS-7E12) (AM5)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
RAM: 32GB Dual-Channel TEAMGROUP DDR5-5200 @ 3199MHz (32-39-39-84)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L ARGB V2 62 CFM
PSU: be quiet! Dark Power 13 1000 W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully Modular ATX
OS: Windows 10 64-bit

With this parts change, did you do a full OS wipe and reinstall?

The 41 error you see is not the 'problem'. It is merely the system telling you "I shut down unexpectedly. I do not know why. Human...please fix me."

no, I have not. I have the OS on its own m.2, do I need to just reset the OS or reinstall as I do not want to loose my windows key

Remove any and all overclocks - including XMP / EXPO / DOCP and report back.

I restored my bios to recommended defaults, so let's see.

We need to rule out faulty RAM.

Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic application (initiated from within Windows), and when the PC reboots into the application, tap F1 (options) and select the extended test.

Does it complete successfully?

It seems like you have done most of the tried and tested things, unfortunately. It might be worth reinstalling windows from the MS website using a USB stick. that way you know for sure that all the crud will be wiped off the boot drive.

You can then download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's websites or pull them from Windows updates from the optional updates setting.

The next step is a real P.I.T.A. and would involve swapping out components to find which one(s are faulty).

Surprise unknown device its not any USB devices could it be a video card i Re downloaded NVIDIA drivers and checked MSI for a amd chip set up date( there was one but no change after update). also heard about

still getting plenty of errors for metadata

Go into device manager and right click on that device. Go to properties, then details, then search for hardware IDs. Copy and paste the topmost value into Google search and see what it returns.

If a device driver is installed, it might mean a loss of functionality, but it should not result in BSODs.

At this point I think I would open up the case, clear off the dust, and remove / reseat all the components except the CPU - while referring to the motherboard manual. I'd take out the CMOS battery for a couple of minutes, too.

I would then be inclined to treat it as a virgin system, reinstall W11 from the USB installer, grab the GFX, mobo, and wifi drivers from their respective manufacturers, and pull any outstanding drivers from windows optional updates.

If that does not work, then I would suspect a hardware fault and, if possible, start swapping out components to find out which one is giving me grief.

I usually don't see that error unless there is something wrong with the PCIe power connector that is connected to the video card. Which a burnt pin can do that error. The connector usually gets warm too when its that issue.

The Kernel PNP error is usually a usb driver issue and Kernel-Power 41 is a power supply issue that I normally see a bad connector on the pcie video power.

Could it be that my 2070 super is getting to much power? But will check the connections tonight
