I have a 750watt fully modular psu my specs are 3060ti, i9 -9900kf, 32gb ddr4 3600mhz ram, Home system runs off ssd and is liquid cooled 30-40 degrees c idle 50-60 under demand . Pc runs well although have been running into various issues over the past year which i believe could be the psu per output demands.

i have run a osct stress test on cpu which passed all tests. memory passes all tests , but the psu crashes the system everytime.
i have checked the crash dumps logs and there is a lot of kernel power 41 logs i have noticed this happens a lot on AAA games with high gpu demands but it flags as a kernel power 41 ID,
i have lowered the game specs on an individual basis but im almost sure this is something to do with the psu. temperatures are good, cpu never runs higher than 30-40% unless installing or running full system scan gpu hits 100% useage, and is not overclocked , besides xmp and gameboost active in the bios this is with this current performance.

id have thought 750watts was ample for a fairly high spec system but 1000 seems to be becoming a requirement for higher end computers
