PC turns off when opening games. Seeing in event viewer, I can notice that there's a Kernel-Power 41 (63) and a Kernel-PnP 219 (212) event at the same time.
I've tried:
Downloading new drivers
Using another power cord
Using lots of different outlets
I didn't overclock any part
Disabled XMP
Updating Windows
Changed Power Plan
It's surely not overheating, it turns off at about CPU 45-55 degrees and GPU 50-60 degrees

My specs:
i5-11400f
EVGA RTX 3050
2x8 GB RAM Corsair Vengeance
Corsair RM650 PSU

sounds like a bad psu if you can test in in another system

#

or it could be bad power delivery on the motherboard if you can test bolth

motherboard already came with a faulty PCIe slot, might take a better look there

the thing is that i bought it when i was travelling in the US, so it would be difficult for then to deliver to Brazil. luckily, a friend of mine's living there now, so it's easier
