Help! My computer keeps crashing with Kernel Power 41 error โ what should I do?

Hey everyone! I've been struggling with the Kernel Power 41 (63) error for a while now, and it's getting really frustrating. I bought my computer around September last year, and it's been a problem since day one. Initially, there were some issues with the system, so I reinstalled it. Later on, I started encountering this kernel error, which caused my computer to freeze and run slowly. I even changed the SSD to a different slot, and it seemed fine for a bit, but now I'm at a loss. I'm considering buying a new power supply, but I'm not sure that's the right move based on what I've read. If nothing works, I might have to send it back for warranty service, which I'd rather avoid. I've tried everything that doesn't involve putting more hardware in, and the last thing I can think of is lowering my RAM frequency. If that doesn't work, it looks like warranty service is my only option. Below are my specs for reference:
- CPU Cooler: Corsair NAUTILUS 360 RS 3x120mm
- Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX
- Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Gaming OC 12GB GDDR7 DLSS4
- Storage: Samsung 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen5 NVMe 990 EVO PLUS
- Processor: Intel Core i9-14900KF
- RAM: Patriot 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36 VIPER VENOM
- Power Supply: MSI MPG A1000G 1000W 80 Plus Gold
Just to note, the issue happens randomly, whether I'm browsing the internet, gaming, or trying to stream. I also have an additional Samsung 970 1TB SSD. I'd really appreciate any assistance. Thank you!

It sounds like you might have a faulty power supply. Iโd suggest double-checking all the power cables from your PSU to make sure theyโre securely connected, especially the cables to your GPU. If the problem persists, you might need to either replace the cables or the PSU itself. Also, ensure that your motherboard's BIOS is updated to avoid any compatibility issues, and consider resetting the BIOS settings to default except for XMP settings. Good luck!

Just throwing this out there, but Intelโs Raptor Lake has had some issues. Make sure to look up any known problems related to your CPU model. If it's crashing at random times, itโs worth checking if you have the latest BIOS version. If not, updating it might help reduce those crashes. Stay hopeful!
