Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my AMD Ryzen 5 3600 on a GA-AB350M-DS3H motherboard. When I'm gaming or putting my computer under stress, everything runs smoothly. However, if I leave the computer idle for a while, I get a blue screen error that says 'kernel power 41'. Interestingly, I have an R3 3200g on the same setup, and I don't face this problem. Just to clarify, all my drivers are up to date, and I have my power settings set to best performance. Any ideas on how to fix this?

First off, try running Windows Memory Diagnostics to check your RAM. Make sure you do at least two passes. If that comes back clean, then open up CMD as an admin and run 'sfc /scannow' to check for system file issues.
I ran the diagnostics and didn’t find any errors, but it didn’t resolve the issue.
