Hey everyone! I'm having some frustrating issues with my PC that's running Windows 11. Despite having a powerful setup, it's crashing unexpectedly. Recently, while playing RageMP (GTA V), I experienced a black screen and had to use the kill switch to turn it off. Then today, while trying to run an animation in Blender for a school project, the PC crashed again. I'm starting to worry if there's a hardware issue here. I've recorded a video of the crash happening, and I'm looking for any advice on what steps I can take to troubleshoot this problem or check if any of my hardware might be failing. Thanks! Here's the crash video: [link](https://streamable.com/73lmpt)

First up, try recreating the crash and check the Event Viewer. Go to Administrative Events and look for a Critical Kernel-Power event with Event ID 41. It's super common when there’s an unexpected shutdown. See if there's anything in the log that shows what led up to the crash.
Thanks for the tip! I found an event log with ID 41 around the time I was playing. It says the system rebooted without shutting down cleanly, which makes me think something went wrong right before that.
