    Hello,

    I just upgraded my old rig by replacing the motherboard, CPU, GPU, RAM, New SSD with clean install of windows 11. Basically a new computer in my original 'Tower 1200' PC case. However, when I play newer games I very often will have my PC restart with no warning (mostly within a couple minutes of playing) This doesn't happen with older games, such as skyrim.

    Kernel-power 41 seems to be the common cause. I understand this can often mean insufficient power supply.
    I run The Corsair HX850W PSU from my previous build. I'm told that this should be enough... but I have my doubts.

    I've played with some of the recommended BIOS settings, but I can't seem to stop the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    CPU- Ryzen 5 5600X (stock cooler)
    MB- MAG X570S TOMOHAWK MAX WIFI (MS-7D54)
    GPU - Asrock RX 6700 XT
    RAM - x2 16GB corsair Vengeance
    SSD (boot/C drive)- Samsung 980 PRO
    SSD (D drive) - WD blue SA510
    PSU- Corsair HX850W

    Hello and welcome Twables, My first thought was PSU.

    I agree, seems like a power supply issue.
    As they age they degrade.
