I have had 2 PC's now with the same EVGA FTW3 ULTRA GPU, the previous system was a Ryzen 3700x with a Aorus X570 Elite Pro Wifi MB with 32 GB of Gskill Trident RGB NEO RAM running at 3600 MHZ, the second (BRAND NEW) being an I7 13700K, ASUS Z790P Prime WIFI MB with GDDR5 RAM running at 6000. I have an EVGA 850 B5 PSU.

When I built the first PC I encountered this error, my PC randomly shutting off then rebooting while gaming, after a lot of troubleshooting and looking on forums I undervolted the GPU and it was fine until I upgraded to the new system. It worked fine for the first 2 days playing league of legends, but as soon as I played HUNT Showdown it had the same issue, same error code as before. I also tried War Thunder and had the exact same issue after loading into game. Did I just get unlucky with the GPU or is it a PSU issue? I will provide anything if you let me know how to obtain the information, I am just tired of this issue.

Kernel-Power Event ID 41 is the result of a report run by windows at startup. If it finds PC was restarted unexpectedly it creates this event. Its a reaction, not a cause. Windows may not know why it is restarting.

if its a sudden restart, are there any errors showing in reliability history (note, there will be a hardware error as windows sees that restart as an error) that show anything about GPU?

you could try running off the graphics built into CPU but I doubt the game performance will be amazing... one way to test if problem is GPU maybe.

Is it a new PSU?
