Question Crash/Kernel power 41

[caijen]

I get crashes randomly and my pc freezes (system error kernel power 41) during load, especially on overwatch and sometimes on cs, ive switched RAM, cpu, motherboard and psu recently so i dont think those are the problems since i had problems even before that. I get around 60-70 temps for both gpu and cpu during gameplay and my gpu seems to handle furmark stress tests without a problem with temps below 80. However my cpu runs very hot, around 90+ degrees, on cpu burner but on games i crash on i get below 80 degrees so i dont think this is a problem. I've done a clean reinstall of windows and updated all my drivers. Whats there more to do?

specs:
CPU: ryzen 9800x3d
GPU: 3070 nvidia
PSU: be quiet! pure power 12M 850W
Motherboard: b650 msi
RAM: 32gb ddr5 kingston fury 6000MHz
SSD: PNY cs3030 m.2
cpu stress test:

cpu from overwatch:

gpu from overwatch:

errors:

kernel-power 41 is not the problem.
That is simply the PC telling you "I shut down, and I do not know why. Human, please fix me."

The actual problem is something else.

Yup, check Reliability History for more clues.

Drop side panel and blow a house fan inside. Those stress test temps are high and in my own experience have had issue with Ryzen well before when it was supposed to "throttle". Update BIOS if applicable.

maybe its the high temps but its weird since i never got over 80 degrees after playing overwatch for a while, where i usually crash every third game or so :/

If things have degraded with the passage of time, then 80 might be a problem. The suggestion to use an external fan is an excellent way to test the theory.

its very weird since i also crash in kovaaks where i dont get higher cpu temps than 50 which may suggest i have problems with my ssd possibly.
