Question system reboots suddenly while gaming

[Wetles89]

My new system reboots automatically while I am gaming. I have had RAM issues with the motherboard after assembly yesterday and picked up a new kit today. It now boots at the 6000mhz as it should and I thought the problems was over. However right now I was chillin loading up Starfield for the first time and played through the intro. Had to step away from the PC for about 15 minutes and when I returned, the system had rebooted.

Can it be a PSU problem? I have the 850 Corsair RMe and it should be highly rated. My 6950xt has a 850 requirement and I thought it might be enough. Should I send it back and get a bigger unit?

Edit: My GPU draws 303W at full load in Starfield, my CPU (7600x) draw about 65W. 850 should be more than enough?

You have a good PSU, it shouldn't be the issue. That requirement of 850W is only there incase you have a CPU that's using 300W, but you don't, so 850W is more than enough.

What RAM issue did you have, and did you replace it with the same type of RAM, or a completely different type? I ask because I always tell people to buy EXPO for Ryzen 7000 builds, this is because I had issues with XMP...not saying everyone does, but I did and that's why I don't recommend XMP.

I bought a set of G.Skill Trident at 6000mhz 32gb. They didnt boot at EXPO above 5400 (veeeery slow boot) Then i changed to a Kingston Fury 6000mhz 32 gb RGB kit. Booted at EXPO right away.

Full build is:
7600x
6950xt
MSI b650 gaming plus WIFI
Corsair 850PMe
Kingston KC3000 Me.2
Win11

Got the newest BIOS aswell.

Edit: I did play a Starfield for a while just now, so I can perhaps be another reason for the reboot. I dont know.

It just rebooted again while browsing YouTube. No error message or anything, just a clean reboot of the system. Got the new set of ram and they boot at 6000mhz so thought the problem was gone.

I don’t know if it’s connected but my pc boots up really slow into windows. After the last reboot it didn’t even boot windows, it just got to my desktop screen and stopped working from there. Also I have some coil whine on my psu. Can it be a power problem? I’ve also read here what a bad cpu can cause reboots?

Windows displays a critical error: event id 41 kernel power system
