Question Getting some random restarts with error 41 in event viewer. What else should I check?

The restarts happen randomly at first sometimes when I'm playing games (randomly on helldivers, could just be that game. Or another time when I was swapping setting on cyberpunk. My screen would freeze, then go black and I would be on the home screen and booted from discord like it restarted.yet my gpu, ram and fans wouldn't change to their base colors like a normal restart.) Then a full restart happened last night which I thought maybe it was random updates for windows 11 but when I look inside the viewer I see the critical error. I know these critical errors could be from anything so im running checks from other questions I see on here and honestly I'm just overwhelmed.
I am currently running a memtest86 on my ram so far no issues.
My gpu and cpu stay at normal Temps even pushed to the max (never over 60°C)
My specs are:
Gpu: sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx
Cpu: 7800x3d
Mobo:GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX
Psu: RM1000E 80+ gold
This is all a new build that I built late last month.
 
event 41(63) is the reaction to a restart, windows runs a report every start and if it finds the previous start was unexpected, it creates the event. Its a reaction.

If you not getting any BSOD, and it just restarts... its probably hardware of some sort.

if it were memory I would expect more BSOD and other things besides a restart.

Could be GPU? best way to check that is run benchmarks and if you crash during a GPU test, you could jump to conclusions... really not many ways to test GPU. If it does crash here, I would suggest trying GPU in another PC and see if it does same there. I don't encourage guessing on hardware.

On latest version of Adrenalin?

PSU should be enough for that system. I did check the Corsair PSU calc but I had guessed already. I have the same PSU but only a 7900 XT.
Are you running separate power cables for each PCIe connection on GPU?

The only real way to test a PSU is a multi meter - https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-manually-test-a-power-supply-with-a-multimeter-2626158

what controls RGB in system? Gigabytes software isn't amazing, I seen it have problems at start before. Its often last thing to change on start.

I've benchmarked my gpu on multiple games over the past week just to see what all I could play and I havent had an issue.
Tonight I'll make sure all of my cables are fully connected and I have all uniqe cables going to my gpu (I couldn't get a cord to go into multiple sockets if I tried, they're not long enough)
I've actually been seeing multiple posts on this forum with either a 7900xtx and a 7800x3d or just the 7800x3d. I've seen another poster suggest turning off freesync stating that fixed his issue so im going to try that.
Also I am using gigabytes rgb is there another software I should use that's free?
