Windows 10 BSOD, event 41 & bugcheckcode 292

Hello,

Lately, when running an application called Prepar3D, my system has had BSODs. It's a flightsim application, which relies a lot on GPU, CPU and RAM. Lately, when flying over a certain part of the world with a lot of mountains, my pc bsods, so I suspect it has to do with all the terrain rendering that is necessary. My system used to be stable and never had BSODs whatsoever, but lately that has changed. Whether it's GPU or CPU related, I don't know, but essential to know. I've tried to reinstall Windows 10 and Prepar3D, also reapplied thermal paste to both the GPU and CPU, updated BIOS and enabled Hyperthreading, but none of that has really changed anything. My GPU's temperature decreased a bit (10-15 degrees) but can still go up as far as 80 degrees. I also monitored temps and VRAM usage prior to the crash, none of them being near the limits. Nothing is overclocked. As for the BSOD, it's always event 41 and bugcheckcode 292:

I think my minidump files are corrupted, which is why I consult the forum, because I have searched on Google already, but I'm not able to go ahead and debug myself.

    The PSU must be faulty then. It's running at 850W which should be enough for my system.

    Thank you. Guess I'll have to get a new PSU. Gonna check all connection and clean first though.

    Unfortunately, diagnosing this error requires oscilloscope. If you have another PC, you may try to use oscilloscope software.

    Is there a way of testing the PSU that can verify that it's actually the PSU being faulty? In my latest test session in Prepar3D I noticed that GPU usage went up to almost 100%.

    Yes, likely this points to PSU.
