After much wait got my 5950x and 3090 machine but its just restarts unexpectedly after a hours or so - its very random.

Looking at windows event viewer once I got a critical 41 - Kernel-Power error.

Then another time the machine didn't restart at all but the monitor went dead, the lights were on in the machine. Had to hard reboot.

Very disappointing - any advice?

You should provide a bit more information about your system. The whole spec is required and BIOS version/date from msinfo32.

I recently got a build from PCS with a 3090 and experienced crashing issues too. I've posted on this in another thread, but in short I reinstalled the Nvidia driver within Geforce Experience by doing a clean custom install and unselecting HD audio.
There's a number of threads in the Nvidia forums suggesting the audio driver on RTX cards clashes with other installed audio drivers (in my case Realtek driver with my Asus motherboard).
What I expereinced was my screens going black, audio bouncing between monitors and headset (some times more than one), BSOD, computer restarts, or as basic as applications closing (one or any combination of these). My crashes were random, 15 minutes to 4 hours. Much more stable now. I'm not suggesting your issue is identicle but it may be worth a test. Otherwise I'd recommend you post your build. Hopefully, someone more in the know can assist you with this soon.

More info below ** for any advice.

Was going to run a few stress tests. Is OCCT good for this (https://www.ocbase.com/) ?

Thanks

I've ordered a build but not received it yet, but was pointed to this stick to do the stress testing when I get my PC, this might help:

Benchmarks and Tools for Troubleshooting / New Build

Hi all This is a huge topic, when you receive your new machine, you want to be able to test that it's all working as optimally as possible. There are a plethora of tools and benchmark suites out there to aid with this. There are 4 main areas that should be benchmarked: While you're running...

First off, the kernel power 41 error is a symptom not the cause. It just means Windows didn't shutdown properly.

To stop it restarting (and so you can see the error messages) enter sysdm.cpl in the Run command box. Click the Advanced tab and the bottom of the three Settings buttons.

In there uncheck the 'automatically restart' box. Also ensure that the dump type is set to 'Automatic dump'.

If it BSODs look for a kernel dump in C:\Windows\Memory.dmp. If it crashes any other way look for a mini dump in the C:\Windows\Minidumps folder.

Upload any dumps you find to the cloud and post a link here.

Also get something like HWMonitor (https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html) to check your temperatures both at idle and under as much load as you can generate.

done thanks.

GPU driver update might have done the trick I hope. Ran OCCT stress testing for 5 hours (will leave overnight)

Spoke to soon its back. Analysing the c:\windows\MEMORY.DMP got this error

VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR (119)
The video scheduler has detected that fatal violation has occurred. This resulted
in a condition that video scheduler can no longer progress. Any other values after
parameter 1 must be individually examined according to the subtype.

Appreciate some guidance as to what to do

I've moved your post to the Tech Support forum where it belongs. :)

Can you please upload the dump file itself, that simple text analysis isn't anywhere near good enough.

This is a minidump (because it's a crash not a BSOD) and they don't contain all the kernel data structures, however it's good enough for this error.

There is a clear driver error in the active thread...

Code: 
fffff580`2d9f7148  fffff802`1ca3ad8b Unable to load image \SystemRoot\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_3621da861144492b\nvlddmkm.sys, Win32 error 0n2 nvlddmkm+0xcad8b

The nvlddmkm.sys driver is the Nvidia graphics driver. The module that failed was dxgmms2.sys, a DirectX driver, but it seems that the Nvidia graphics driver is the fault here (in any case, dxgmms2.sys is a Microsoft driver and this far less likely to have a problem).

If you haven't done so already I would use DDU to uninstall the existing driver (it will reboot) and then download and install the latest Nvidia driver for your OS and card. Note: Don't install the Nvidia Audio driver that comes with the Nvidia graphics driver, we've had several issues of conflicts with the Realtek audio driver and that one.
