...or failing/too weak PSU. What are the system specs?
What is the model of the PSU in the PC?
Even a good quality 500W PSU is minimum for a GTX 970 and i5-4690K. Can you open the case and look? If CPU and other temps are in the safe zone, that would be the next place to look. But in all honesty, there are many reasons a system would reboot or shut down.I have no clue all I know it’s 500 watt

Corsair is fine.
This may take some time on your part to trouble shoot. If all was well before you did your cleaning, I'd look to see if something worked loose. Are you using a stock Intel cooler? If so, make sure all 4 push-pin feet on the cooler are secure. Press down on them a pair at a time to be sure they are locked.
Run Memtest on each stick of RAM individually* for one full pass. See if there are any errors.
Run CCleaner and do the clean and registry portions both.
* use a single stick of RAM for each test.
Kernal error 41 is reported when the PC has shut down incorrectly or restarted after a crash. So, that is an expected error message.it said 41 kernal power

Before looking at hardware, I would start by eliminating software conflicts and errors as much as possible. Give CCleaner a run and do the Clean and Registry portions both. If you get a lot of hits, run it again.
Then check for the presence of poorly written malware with a Malwarebytes scan.
Do you have access to any components you can swap out? PSU, gfx card, RAM?
It may only be a coincident that the problem started after a cleaning. Did you check for any loose wires?
Did you do a Memtest run on each stick of ram individually for at least one full pass? Are you using 2x8GB? If you don't want to take the time to do that, try using just one stick and see if the issue happens. Then swap sticks.

Then it's looking like the problem is in hardware and not software. Pre-built PC or one you assembled yourself?i did a fresh install of everything on my pc but i still have the problem
