Windows 10: Event 41 Kernel Power crash - bugcheck code 278

Hi,I wonder if someone could help me resolve an issue that has been annoying me for some time now. My desktop computer windows 10 is suddenly freezes and crash > restart. This behaviour started while gaming but weirdly happens when making music or using other software. After I read some articles about this crash the Event Viewer shows this critical error as event 41 Kernel Power crash, bug check code 278 which indicate that the culprit might be the GPU - in my case GTX 1650, but I cannot resolve this at all. What I tried so far:- updating nvidia drivers- reinstall the nvidia drivers us

Event 41 Kernel Power crash - bugcheck code 278

Hi,

I wonder if someone could help me resolve an issue that has been annoying me for some time now. My desktop computer (windows 10) is suddenly freezes and crash > restart. This behaviour started while gaming but weirdly happens when making music or using other software. After I read some articles about this crash (the Event Viewer shows this critical error as event 41 Kernel Power crash, bug check code 278) which indicate that the culprit might be the GPU - in my case GTX 1650, but I cannot resolve this at all. What I tried so far:

- updating nvidia drivers

- reinstall the nvidia drivers using DDU

- underclocking via afterburner (helped with gaming, but then a crash happens in other software which isn´t even GPU demanding.

- check overheating of GPU, not even close

- several other diagnostics and repairs via command prompt (don´t remember which)

Is there anyone who could help me to analyse this and propose some solutions? I am out of ideas...

Thanks,

Petr

 

Kernel power Event ID-41 (Bugcheck code 278)

Hi,

I have been getting the kernel power Event ID 41 issue for 2-3 months but i have not been able to find a possible fix for it. I checked the Bugcheck code reference from:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/bug-check-code-reference2

The Bugcheck code shows that it is a video_tdr_failure issue. I'm not sure what could be causing the issue nor do I know what is the thing I should do to fix it.

I've already tried several fixes like:

1. A clean installation of windows
   
2. Disabled all kinds of OC
   
3. Updated bios to the latest version
   
4. Updated GPU driver to the latest version
   
5. Checked for windows integrity violations using cmd
   

Unfortunately, none of them have worked.

My PC specs:-

Prcoessor-Intel i5 11400f

GPU-Inno3d rtx 2060

Power supply-Deepcool PF650

Ram-Adata XPG D30 8gb 3200mhz X 2

Motherboard- Msi h510m-a-pro

This error mostly occurs when I am watching a video, live streaming on discord or listening to songs on Spotify. Never happens while gaming.

I'd be very thankful if you could provide a suitable fix for the problem as it's really annoying.

Thanks

 

Event 41 Kernel Power crash - bugcheck code 278

Hi Petr,

My name is Igor, it's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll try to help you.

Kernel-Power 41 (63) error mostly means the problem with power supplying. Can you replace power supply unit for checking? It may mean problems with power management in BIOS or motherboard too.

And you may try to turn off all CPU power saving modes in BIOS (different C states) to check if the problem is in motherboard.
