My PC keeps shutting down and I think my PSU is causing it. Thinking of buying a new one.

For the past few months my PC keeps overheating and shutting down during games, video calls, or even just me watching Youtube. Event Viewer keep saying it's a Kernel 41 error so I think it's probably the PSU causing issues.

Currently using a 550W 80Plus DeepCool PF500 for my GeForce RTX 5060 ti. Any recommendations for an affordable, better one?

If its overheating your then your PSU is not causing it. Download OCCT or something an look at your temperatures, power drain etc.

Any WHEA error than the Error 41?

Current CPU?
PF500 is actually a 500W unit. if can get about 700W and don't cheap out as PSU can easily move between builds.
