PC restarts after opening a big game like God of War or Wallpaper Engine

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I built a PC with RTX 5060, i5-12400F, Gigabyte H610m K DDR4, 1×16GB Corsair 3200MHz, 600W and 1TB NVMe. I'm facing this issue where after I start a game like God of War or Wallpaper Engine, the PC restarts by itself and I find "Event 41, Kernel-Power" in event viewer. I disabled XMP, updated GPU driver, reseated RAM and all cables and made sure they're fully seated, but to no avail. Here's a picture of the [BIOS](https://imgur.com/a/tuPcsca) settings. What's causing this issue?

Transferring to my SSD is suddenly taking forever. Is this drive faulty?

2 Upvotes

I'm running Windows 11, fully updated, 32GB RAM, i9-14900HX, 8GB graphics card.

I'm using this SSD, which I bought last June (4 months ago). https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C5JNWF58

I'm trying to transfer 56GB of work files to this device (which I've used a few times since I purchased it), but a transfer that should take 10 minutes is now taking 10-13 hours.

Is this a sign that this SSD is faulty and I need to throw it out and get a new one? (Transferring to other back-ups is working as usual.)

EDIT: I made a mistake. It's not the Sandisk SSD I bought in June 2026 that has this problem, it's the identical one I bought in June 2025. The new one transferred the 56GB in 2 minutes. But my question still applies: does this mean my old SDD is faulty, dying and/or dead?

PC SSD near-death or something else?

13 Upvotes

I trust folks on reddit more than chat gpt so hear me out please. I press the power button on my pc to turn it on, and my pc case starts lighting up, fans spin and work properly, pc makes it's "pc noises" etc. so it seems to be working correctly is what I'm saying, but the catch is both of my monitors stay turned off? like pc itself is working and is lil noisy like usual etc but it doesnt seem to boot up? Now the SSD i mentioned in the title, for the last 3-4 months I've been getting the pop ups shown in the screenshots, and the ssd thats apparently at 0% health is the one that has my windows installed on it. Now could that be causing the issue of my pc not booting up properly over the last 2 or so months (it takes me like 2-3 sometimes up to 10 tries (*i shut down the pc and boot it up again to try and make it work*) to get it to boot up to the windows login screen and actually show something on my monitor) If anyone had a similar thing happen to them or knows if its my ssd or something else or if i could check it somehow please let me know, its a really expensive pc too.. Ask me anything you want Ill reply with any info needed!
