Windows 11 PC shuts down unexpectedly.

Hi all,

I have a Windows 11 PC. Recently, it has been shutting down unexpectedly. It usually does this while I am in the middle of playing a game, such as Modern Warfare 2 or The Witcher 3. Any other time while I am doing school work or just browsing online, it gives me no issues.

Based off Event Viewer, I receive these issues:

Critical: Event 41, Kernel-Power - The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Error: Event 162, volmgr - Dump file generation succeeded.

Error: Event 1001, BugCheck - The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001e (0xffffffff80000003, 0xfffff80661bc1ff8, 0x0000000000000000, 0xfffff80661306780).

These issues are concurrent with another and are listed together after the computer automatically reboots after shutting down. As I said, this only happens when I am trying to play a game. It is also random. Sometimes it happens multiple times in one day, other times a week or so will go by and it will happen one time.

I am running Windows 11 Pro, version 22H2. OS build is 22621.1413. I have a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700K 3.60 GHz processor, 32 GB installed RAM, a 3080TI graphics card, and an ASUS Z690-E motherboard.

I really haven't tried anything to fix the issues. I am not exactly sure where to start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What power supply?

Here's why Kernel Power Error 41 happens and how to fix it.
