Windows 10: BDOS due to kernel power event 41

Hey recently, I've been getting BDOS with a critical warning of kernel power event. I'm unsure of the specific reason but something that I know change was that I pressed clear CMOS button and Flash BIOS button when I was cleaning the PC thinking that it wouldn't change anything as there was no power I was wrong as the motherboard probably had a battery on it. I don't think the issue is caused by a cable being half plugged in.

BDOS due to kernel power event 41

So recently I cleaned my pc by vacuuming the dust (Didn't realise it was a bad thing at the time). Afterwards randomly when I’m just idle or gaming, I get the BSOD. These crashes happen so randomly sometimes twice a day to none for like 3 days. In the event viewer the only critical error was kernel power event 41. I tried searching up how to fix it which led me to updating my drivers. But I still have the problem. I suspect it is the power supply that got messed up but is there a way to know for sure and if it is the power supply anyway of cheaply fixing it .

Please help.

Idk if it is relevant but when I cleaned my pc I accidentally pressed the flash boot and clr coms button at the back of my motherboard which led to my bios settings being reseted. I’m unsure if this can cause the pc to BDOS.

 

Kernel-Power event id 41. BugcheckCode 0

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

In-order to get more clarity on this issue and to assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, reply with answers to the below questions:

1. Are you aware of any changes made on your PC, prior to this issue?
   
2. Is this issue specific while playing a particular game?
   
3. Which edition of Windows are you currently using?
   

A Kernel Power Event 41 can occur in the following scenarios.

Scenario 1: The computer restarts, and there is a Stop error BugcheckCode in the event data.

Scenario 2: The computer is shut down by pressing and holding the power button.

Scenario 3: The system randomly restarts and no Stop error BugcheckCode is listed, or the computer is completely unresponsive (hard hang).

I suggest you refer the article on Kernel
Power Event ID 41 and follow the steps for the scenario that is causing this error on your PC.

Additionally, you can refer the article on Windows
Kernel event ID 41 error "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first" in Windows
and check if that helps.

New PC randomly restarting, Event 41 Kernel Power

event 41 kernel power is pretty self explanatory its power related 41 only gets triggered due to a sudden loss of power without tripping a stop code or if the system hard resets without a BSOD
