Hi, first time posting here, sorry if this is the wrong section of the forum
I built a new rig a few weeks ago with some old parts and some new parts, it has been running with absolutely no issue for around 2 weeks, then it starts to randomly reboot.
When it reboots, it does not go into BSOD, the screen just turns black for a split second and then the pc restarts.
This reboot is absolutely random, it can happen when i am in BIOS, it can happen when i just booted into windows, it can happen when i am gaming, watching a video, or the PC sitting there doing nothing, it can happen a few minutes after i start up the PC, or it can happen a few hours later, absolutely random
Event log shows Kernel-Power error, code 41, bugcheckcode 0, which indicates is a hardware issue
Here are the things I've tried to isolate the problem, which leads me to think the problem is to do with PSU
The computer seems to reboot less often after i turned hybrid off and the PSU with fan facing down, if that's of any coincidence
Here is the build
Unfortunately i don't have another PSU to test out if the current PSU I have is somehow faulty.
At this point, any suggesting would be very helpful. Hope i have not left out any crucial details
Maybe i need to manually set voltage for CPU instead of using offset mode?
Thank you

Here are the things I've tried to isolate the problem, which leads me to think the problem is to do with PSU
- Initially the PSU was upside down with no issue (fan sucking from inside case), and i switched that around to suck air from the floor.
- Tried both hybrid and non hybrid mode on the PSU
- Instead of plugging the PSU into an extension lead, i've moved it onto a wall socket now
- Unplugged all the wires on the PSU and mobo and plugged back in
- Reset CMOS and optimised default on BIOS
- Isolated the RAM by removing them one by one, and switching them to a spare set of ram i had sitting around
- Also changed the RAM slot on the RAM
- Removed the GPU to use onboard graphics
- Removed two fans on the case as it was sitting quite close to a cable going into the mother board
- Turned off all OC via BIOS, CPU and RAM.
- Disabled Anti Surging in BIOS
- Reduce CPU core from 4 core to 2core instead
- Monitor Computer temperature, GPU peaks at 47, CPU peaks at 52, overheating don't seem to be an issue at all
- Memtest64 and Windows memory diagnostic showed no error
- Checked all the cap on the motherboard, non of them seems "popped" or loose
