    guys pls help my PC just turns off after about ten minutes of playing games. No blue screen, no freeze, just instantly dark, like the power was cut. It turns back on fine afterwards. The last time, teh app i was using threw this on teh way down:

    event Viewer has a Kernel-Power 41 entry each time, i cleaned out the dust last month. is this heat or the power supply? id like to fix this before something acutally gets damaged... if it helps, i can log temperatures and voltages, i just need to know what values to look for. thx in advance!!

    A cabinet with no airflow will heat-soak the whole PC. leave teh cabinet door open as a test, or move the PC out for a day. worked for me anyway 🤷

    ahh classic repasting helps if the paste is old and dry, but use a thin, even layer and tighten the cooler in a cross pattern so pressure is even.

    oh ive been there lol if the CPU is near its maximum temperature under load, check the cooler: is the protective film removed from teh cold plate, are all mounting screws tight, is the pump running on an AIO (check the pump speed header in BIOS)?

    wait what repasting is fine, but dont do it bfeore checking the pump. It wont fix a dead pump and its messy. just my 2 cents
