Question Kernel Power 41 (63) after changing SATA 2.5" SSD to M.2

So for some context, I built my PC like 3-4 years ago so every component is about 3-4 years old. Recently my ssd started slowing down and corrupted some files but I never got Kernel Power or any other error. I'm 99.9% sure while installing the M.2 I didnt touch my PSU. What may cause this? My specs are:

Win 10 Home
B450M S2H Motherboard
16 GB DDR4 Ram
RX 580 4GB GPU
Ryzen 5 3500X CPU
My old ssd was 240 gb kingston or smth and the new one is Samsung 970 Evo
I also tried updating my drivers, bios and windows but none of them seem to work. I also ran some tests, when i tried to run a stress test for my PSU it gave me the same error on event viewer. Should I try swapping my M.2 slot or anyone have better advice? Lastly, I get the error when I try to play any game even CS:GO crashes after being ingame for 2-3 minutes.
 
What may cause this?
Kernel Power error just means, system has rebooted without shutting down properly first.
If you press reset button - you'll get Kernel power error in alert log.
If get BSOD, this will also generate Kernel power error.
Lastly, I get the error when I try to play any game even CS:GO crashes after being ingame for 2-3 minutes.
Check cpu and gpu temperatures.
Use MSI afterburner.

What model PSU are you using?
Can you show a photo of info label printed on PSU?

My temps were normal (CPU is 55-60, GPU is 50 right now without any loads).

Will check my PSU tomorrow morning, its late now.

I saw someone saying switching the M.2 slot fixed it, should I also try that while checking my PSU model tomorrow?

Yep didnt end up trying that.

Checked my PSU model, it's "Platoon Pl-9264". 12 cm 600w

This one?
That is 325W PSU (27A on 12V rail). Nowhere close to 600W.
Recommended minimum for RX 580 is 500W PSU.
Upgrade your PSU.

Sorry this one is a little too much for me right now, I dont live in a first world country so the budget might change by the taxes taken from that item. (This PSU isnt even available in here, I can order it from Amazon UK but it increases the price drastically) I can do like %50 maybe %60 of this one's price.
