Since a few weeks I have the problem that my PC crashes and restarts itself without any error message. No changes in hardware have been made around the time of the first crashes. The crashes also seem to occur more regular on some days without any reason.

This usually happens during moments when GPU and CPU usage is higher than normal, e.g. gaming. After the automatic reboot, gaming performance also seems worse than normal, resulting in less FPS.

In the event viewer I get the following error:

<System>

<Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power"
<EventID>41</EventID>
<Version>6</Version>
<Level>1</Level>
<Task>63</Task>
<Opcode>0</Opcode>

<EventRecordID>18988</EventRecordID>
<Correlation />

<ExecutionProcessID="4" ThreadID="8" />

My guess is that this crash is related to temperatures or the PSU. However, temperature readings seem to be normal (I don't know how to log them during crashes but they seem normal). I also know my PSU provides enough power, however I don't know how to check the integrity of the PSU. Memory diagnostics also proved the memory is working fine. Thoughts and suggestions are more than welcome!
