So lately my PC just shuts down automatically (event viewer error 41) and most times it will shutdown with RGB still on and Fans still spinning and the CPU error light on my MSI Carbon AC Pro b450 board turning on.
BUT sometimes, it does randomly shut down with everything off like it's lost power.
It tends to happen anytime during general usage and also during Gaming. But its not stress-related. I can stress my PC using MSI Kombustor or something like that and it doesn't shut down then.
I have had this problem on and off for a couple of months now so I have tried a lot of common troubleshooting steps.
I have also so far tried the following:
4. Tinkered with Windows settings like turning off Sleep Mode.
5. Made sure the GPU is fine by testing it in another system.
6. Tried other stuff like replacing the power cable that goes into the PSU, changed the socket the PC is plugged into etc.
My Specs:
MSI B450 Carbon AC Pro board
Ryzen 3600 CPU
16gb Corsair Lpx ddr4 3000mhz RAM,, (8gb x 2)
Colorful RTX 3070 Card
Zebronics gold-rated 750w PSU
1tb WD black Nvme SSD
1tb Kingston Nvme SSD
2tb Seagate Barracuda hdd

I have also so far tried the following:
- Ultimately replaced my Corsair CX 650 PSU and Bought a (well-reviewed) 750w Gold rated PSU from Zebronics. (problem seemed to go away for a week or so after PSU change but then it came back yesterday. Still, the problem is so random that I can not be sure that the new PSU is now the cause)
- Made sure PC isn't overheating, checked CPU and GPU temps and they don't go over 80 for GPU and 70 for CPU.
