My pc randomly is restarting sometimes, that started happening at the end of the last month (october) and then randomly stopped, lasts at least a week, but now is happening again.

My pc:
Ryzen 2600(stock)
PNY GTX 960
2X8 16GB T-FORCE DELTA RGB 3200MHZ WHITE
MSI B450M GAMING PLUS
SDD 240 PNY
1TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA
SEASONIC SIII 650W BRONZE

I tested my cpu and gpu with occt and prime95 and other programs, temps are okay, i´ve read it could be my PSU dying but why that stopped happening like for 1 or 2 weeks and started happening again? also test my ram with memtest86 and they´re ok with no issues.

Went to Event Viewer and theres a ERROR origin:eventlog, id:6008, category none, and a CRITICAL origin: kernel power, id:41 and category (63)

You guys think it could be my psu? bought it 2019 summer like in august.

My pc is clean, applied new thermal paste, Everything well connected.

EDIT: Just ran Prime95 and valleybenchmark at the same time and nothing happened. STILL could be my psu?

My bios version is the 1.80 in msinfo32 it says american megantrends inc. 1.80, 25/7/2019, went to my mb page in msi and last bios version was released in 2020-06-17, i will try updating to the newest bios then.

If you look at a PSU's power output graph, you'll notice how temperature is mentioned at a specific area of the graph. That being said, given how temps might've dropped in your region/area due to the approach of Winter would indicate that your ambient air temps are favoring the PSU's operating scenario.

I would advise in updating the BIOS to the latest version first, then update the OS, then use DDU to uninstall the GPU drivers then reinstall them with the latest found off of Nvidia's support site.

If you want to rule out the PSU, I'd suggest getting a higher pedigree Seasonic PSU with at least 550W of power for the entire system. Then try powering the system breadboarded.

Considering how you're on 1.8 right now, you have to work...

Considering how you're on 1.8 right now, you have to work your way through this order;
1.9>1A>1B>1C. Then move with the other suggestions mentioned above.

The latest bios version for my MB is in beta version but i readed its not good to update the bios to a beta version, so i went and istalled the 7B87v1B

I already try using DDU and updating to the latest Nvidia drivers, also made a new and clean windows install

You´re telling im good to go and update to the latest version even if it is a beta?
