PC is randomly shutting off or completely freezing (Kernel Power 41)

Hello All,

Facing some troubles with my PC. I have just returned from a 2 week Holiday where it was running fine, to now unusable. While on my holiday the PC was off and unplugged from the wall.

It will shut off and immediately reboot without any BSOD, or it freezes until i hold the power button. This happens under Load or idle.

I am unable to narrow it down to a single error aside from Kernel Power 41.

Any and all help is appreciated. thankyou!!

**Proceeding the most recent shutdown i have received a couple different errors in event viewer.**

The most common error i get is DCOM Errors, a few of which i have included below.

I also received this the other day. Thought i would include as its the most detailed error so far.
