So I'm having an issue with my system where it has random crashes/restarts, with event viewer showing Kernel Power event ID 41. The system will stutter and hang for a view seconds, before the screen goes completely black and the system restarts.
I've looked around the forums and reddit, and it looks like the most likely culprit would be the psu not being able to keep up with the load. But I ran a power stress test on OCCT for an hour and the system didn't crash once.
Additionally, this crash seems to only occur while playing ghost of tsushima for some reason. I play a lot of other very demanding games (helldivers 2, cyberpunk etc.) with no issues. It's only this game that's caused the issue. And I play the game capped at 60 fps, so the load on the CPU and GPU should be quite minimal. I just don't understand why the system would crash randomly under a relatively light load, but be able to get through a full on power stress test just fine.
My specs
7800X3D
Gigabyte X870 wifi
32gb ddr5 @ 6000mhz
Samsung 990 Evo 2tb
7900xtx
EVGA 1000W GT
Kinda at a loss really. Will likely purchase a new PSU and swap it out to see what happens, because I'm worried this will start becoming a much more frequent issue with other games, but I figured I'd ask here first to get some insight/advice first.
