Power off mid-game, Kernel-Power 41 in the logs. Heat or PSU??

Malik · 2026-09-07T11:59:57.710Z

ok weird one built this PC myslef a year ago and it was perfect until now. Lately it shuts down during exporting photos. i watched HWiNFO and the CPU was near 100°C right before it went dark. At idle its normal. Im wondering if the cooler isnt making proper contact anymore. The cooler is an AIO that came with the case bundle. i never checked if teh pump is actually running. Is there a way to verify that without taking everything apart? pls help 🙏
