Windows 10: BSOD and Event ID 41 Kernal Crash while gaming and exiting games

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO is the text along with the BSOD. After checking Event Viewer Event ID 41 has happened 3x in the last 2 days, and over 12 in the last week.


This issue usually occurs when I am exiting a game, but also will happen when I have been gaming for over an hour or so.


What could this mean? Any help would be seriously appreciated. I have my .dmp files but not sure what to do with them.


I am running an Asus ROG Strix laptop.


CPU: i7-7700HQ @ 2.80 GHz

GPU: GTX 1050

RAM: 16GB

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.

BSOD twice today browsing web or playing gta|Kernal Power Event ID: 41

Hello I have been having trouble with my pc in the past month as it will randomly restart on its own while browsing or gaming
The event log always shows:

Event 6008: The previous system shutdown at X:XX:XX PM (approx 20 minutes before error is logged) on ‎X/XX/‎XXXX was unexpected.

Then
Kernal Power Event 41: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Graphics driver is up to date.
Windows Version: 1607 x64bit OS build: 14393.693

Attached is the bsod files my system has gathered.

 

Windows Kernel event ID 41 error whilst gaming

Hi,

I have been having this problem now for about 8 months and after trawling the internet for a solution I haven't found anything useful.

Often when I am playing a game, the computer will just immediately shutdown and restart as if I had held the power button down... It
only happens when I am playing a game. The crashes are completely random as to when they occur. Some days there will be no crashes, and others I will have many. Prior to 8 months ago, I never had any crashes. I could play games perfectly for
prolonged periods of time without a hiccup, however now, when I play the
same games I could happily play before for extended periods of time, I get a crash.

A lot of people have been suggesting it could be temperature. So I monitored my temperatures very closely and my PC never got too hot.

I have not changed any hardware components in my PC either and my power supply is 750 watt so I easily have enough power.

The only thing that I have found is in the event viewer.

Every time my computer crashes and a Kernel event ID 41 critical error shows up, there is always the same 6 events which occur.



These
are 6, 6, 6, 98, 6 and 6. Every time.

The final event just before the id 41 crash is to do with a driver: File System Filter 'npsvctrig' (10.0, ‎2016‎-‎07‎-‎16T03:28:33.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.

The second this driver is loaded, the PC crashes. I have looked to see if I can somehow remove this but with no avail.

Please if you have a suggestion as to what I can do, tell me.

Thanks in advance

Michael
