Question Recent BSoD issues highlighting potential PSU problem?

Hello

I bought a really nice 4070 TI prebuilt from cyberpower PC a couple of years ago. Worked great, had a GPU problem sent it in for warranty and they did not have the same GPU so they swapped it to this

MSI GEFORCE RTX 4070 TI GAMING TRIO 12GB GDDR6X VIDEO CARD

Was working great for a while and then the past few months I have run into blue screen of death issues. 10 events in the past 2 months. All showing kernel power 41 (63) in the event viewer logs.

These BSoD's happen when the GPU/cpu? Are under heavy load while playing a video game (sons of the forest recently, which has brought this problem to the surface)

I notice its a demanding game even with settings lowered but my pc should not be struggling like this. Its been driving me crazy. I am unsure if its user error, the game itself, or my PSU or something else hardware related.

Ive updated my drivers, anything i can think of to help with this and i still get game crashes. The BSoD does not happen very often, but when it does it happens while playing this game under heavy load.

Could it be my PSU? Faulty or getting load spikes and cant handle it so it shuts down? Im so lost, any help is appreciated. I'm unsure if the PSU i have now maybe is not strong enough for spikes in power?

I ran windows memory diagnostic tool and it did not find any problems with memory. Going to run a GPU stress test once i get home. Unsure what else to check or where else to look
