I just built a new PC, but I'm running into a frustrating issue where it shuts off randomly. I've tried a bit of troubleshooting, including reseating some components to check for loose connections, but nothing seems to work. It's been two days of trying to figure this out, and I really need some help. I found error 41 in the event viewer, which I believe indicates a power loss, corrupted drivers, or potential hardware issues. I'm not sure what my next steps should be.

It sounds like you're dealing with a tricky problem there. First off, can you share your rig specs? Usually, one of the culprits could be under stress, like when gaming, or if it's just shutting off randomly. Also, are all your parts new or are there any second-hand components?
From what you've described, it seems like a power issue. Given that it happens while idling, check your power supply unit (PSU) to ensure it's functioning properly. A faulty PSU can lead to random shutoffs, so if you have another one to test with, that might help narrow it down.
