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.

Kernel-Power 41 (63)

I have tested almost everything suggested on the internet. Only thing left which I did not get a chance to experiment was : overclocking and disabling cstate and intel-speedstep in bios


Here is what I have tried

1. updated display adapters for nvidia and intel
2. fixed device error related to bluetooth and nvidia intel driver in iobit/tools/device repair
3. updated the bios from dell.com
4. cleared tpm.
5. realtek card reader driver was pointed as faulty by iobit. it is available 07sep2015 release date on dell website
iobit installs it with 03-12-2018 release date
6. enabled/disabled realtek pcie card reader
7. disabled bluetooth in windows settings
8. disabled blutetooth driver in device manager (qualcomm atheros)
9. defrag hard drives using iobit
10. mem test
11. disabled intel r display audio in device manager
12. experimented with sleep,hibernate and various display settings.

bthusb error was often seen before the crash in event-viewer. But I probably resolved it by uninstalling bluetooth driver.

 

restart and kernel-power event

Hi,



The kernel power event ID 41 error occurs when the computer is shut down, or it restarts unexpectedly. When a computer that is running Windows starts, a check is performed to determine whether the computer was shut down cleanly. If the computer was not shut
down cleanly, a Kernel Power Event 41 message is generated.



Try this, see if it works for you:

• Go to "Settings"
• Select "System"
• Select "Power and Sleep"
• Select "Additional Power Settings"
• Select "Choose what the power buttons do"
• Select "Change settings currently available"
• Ensure that "Turn on fast start up" is deselected (unticked)
• Click on "Save Changes"

Restart your computer after performing the steps.



Let us know if the above steps resolved the issue.
