event log : kernel-power 41 for BF2042

My game crashes randomly anywhere 3 to 4 times a day while playing BF 2042 and sometimes it crashes while in the game menu.

The crashes can be :

1) everything freezes and I have to hard reboot the system. (almost every times)

2) the game crashes to desktop

I've stress test my cpu for 30 min. (cpu ok)

I've sterss test two differents graphics card (evga 3080 ti and msi 1080) both are stable and can support stress test for 30 min with no fault.

I've test my ram with two sofrware (memtest and ram software from windows 11). My ram is ok.

I went in the event log this morning and realized that the main event log for the crashes is names Kernel-Power  41.

I play other games that are heavly using the system (ex : red dead redemption 2) and never crashes. 

Please need help, this is frustrating, I cant pinpoint the solution.

    I used to get them a lot, too. I had a 1080 and jumped to a 3080 when I completed my new build. What size PSU are you using and how old is it? How's your airflow in the case? You running on air or an AIO/water? It all makes a difference but I would most likely point to the PSU. Start there.

    It could be, but perhaps not, an out of date driver issue. You might also want to run a chkdsk and see if your Windows install has been corrupted in any way. I know it may seem a bit of a far fetch, but it could be a whole host of things.

    Good luck. Post here what you find (if anything).
