(Posting in "Power Supplies" because Event ID 41 makes reference to the system losing power, but in reality I have no idea since I replaced my PSU and still have had issues)

  • every time my computer wakes up from one of these, I check the Windows 10 Event Viewer and it's listed as a critical error, Event ID 41, Task 63, Kernel-Power.
  • crash typically occurs when I'm doing a render, though not always. For a short bit it started to happen more frequently, but it's since returned to crashing during renders
  • no BSOD. The screen goes black and then system starts up again automatically
  • Prime95 was able to trigger this issue
  • OCCT stress test for power supply, CPU, and GPU are all able to trigger this, usually in under a minute
  • occurs when rendering 3D images in a series (Blender), or just from prolonged use of rendered view (DAZ 3D), either alone or with too many other softwares opened
  • occurred sometime after I installed NVME memory and reinstalled Windows on the new drive
  • booted Ubuntu Linux and started a render - it still crashed, leading me to believe it's a hardware issue
  • Windows clock changed to six hours later than the correct time
  • I double- and triple-checked the OuterVision Power Supply Calculator and its estimate is way below my present PSU (750W), sitting somewhere in the 400 W range
  • I recently replaced the PSU with another 750 W and am still having the same issues
  • blew case out with air compressor, didn't seem to make a difference

Specs:
Windows 10 Home Edition
ASUS ProArt B550 motherboard
AMD Ryzen 9 9500 processor
NVIDIA RTX 3060 - EVGA
64 GB (4x16GB) G.Skill Trident Z RAM
x1 Samsung 1TB SSD
x1 Western Digital 1TB NVME

Questions:
Does the slot you use for the NVME make a difference?
 
What's the brand and model of both PSUs?

Is the motherboard BIOS fully up to date?

Is the RAM bought as a kit of 4 or 2 kits of 2?

Test with 2 RAM sticks in slot A2 and B2.

Removed PSU is a Rosewill Photon 750 W 80+ Gold, replacement PSU is a Corsair RM750 80+ Gold.

I'll reinstall BIOS and see if that helps.

RAM is 2 kits of 2. I'll test them.
 
Test with 1 kit. Ryzen don't like mixing RAM, even when it's the same brand and model but from a different batch.

Tested with the two kits separately, it doesn't fix the issue.

Attempting to install BIOS from within BIOS using the flash utility seems to just freeze the machine, looks like another thing to troubleshoot.
