It's your computer's power supply, it likely is not large enough for what you have in your machine.

Try disabling CPU turbo mode in bios settings

try updating ur BIOS & disable fast boot first.
could be PSU not handling transient spikes, common with 4000 series even with 1000w psu
would be good to tell some specs when coming with such problem

No. Not in the slightest. Kernel Power Error just says the PC had a shutdown out of nowwhere. Happens f.e. when playing with a 5700XT.

not in a slightest??
ccurs when the computer shuts down or restarts unexpectedly = which can be psu, like i said before...
and we have 0 info on system he is running

It could be the anti-cheat nprotect. its the reason behind most crashes from the PC side during gaming

Its worth to look at my guide for a fix:

It could be anything hardware or software related. Even driver timeouts can give you a hard crash. Happens to me with my 5700XT and is the reason why I can't play Helldivers anymore. The reason is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Autodesk Engine. Vermintide and Darktide have the same crashes for me if not played in DirectX11. Same engine.

That on point comment did not deserve to be ridiculed with a jester award.

Threadstarter is on their own if they make fun of anyone helpful.

I have a similar issue with my system.
Specs:
Cpu: Ryzan 9 5900x
GPU: RX 7600
Ram: 16 GB 4000hz
PSU: 750 watt

Only experienced this issue with helldivers. Can play jedi survivor or Star Citizen just fine but the moment I play helldivers my whole PC shutdown. not blue screen not crash or freeze. it turns off. I can't believe I have a faulty part as I do not experience this issue with anything else.

It's the system that doesn't works correctly (or the hardware, mostly the PSU)

[ZappoDude]

This is the anticheat's fault. The game doesn't overuse your power supply anymore than any other modern game would, but the anticheat on its own doubles power use. In task manager you can see it repeatedly open and close instances of itself which use as much power as the game.

[DonnyEsq]

Having the same issue. Ryzen 9 79503d, 4080, ASUS ROG STRIX 1000W Gold PSU. Everything else runs fine, Helldivers 2 makes my PC decide to turn off. Sucks.

Could you record a short clip of that?

I have never seen myself nor ever heard of GameGuard doing such a thing.
Especially the power usage is pure nonsense. If your CPU and GPU are already drawing max. power, the anti-cheat can't magically double it. That's literally not how computers work.
