Windows 10: kernal power event id 41 task category 63

My computer keeps freezing up and when I looked at the logs it says kernal power event id 41 task category 63. I've seen many people ask about that here and nobodies got an answer to it yet.

:)

 

Event viewer shows a Critical event: Source: Kernal-Power (Event ID 41 Task Category 63)

Original title: Black Screen - As soon as Desktop shows, it goes black within seconds. (Even in safe mode)

I have tried all fixes I can find to no avail.

I can log into Windows but as soon as it gets to the desktop, it will go to the black screen within a couple seconds. No difference if I log in under safe mode.

Most commands/tasks work, but explorer.exe doesn't.

In the event viewer I get a Critical event: Source: Kernal-Power (Event ID 41 Task Category 63)

I upgraded from Win 7 Ultimate 64bit to Win 10 Pro 64bit.

System:

Alienware M17xR3 Laptop

i7-2820QM 2.30GHz

12GB Mem

Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M

I removed and reinstalled the display driver and at no point did it make any difference. No external devices are plugged in or connected. No RunOnce processes or services are running in any mode.

Any help getting this resolved would be greatly appreciated...

 

Event ID 41 Task Category 63

If i get no BSODs, no errors, no events logged in event viewer apart from kernel power 41 (63), not even the windows did not shut down successfully screen (don't know if that is still in windows 10), and the computer just turns off and a few seconds later it turns back on, is it safe to assume that it is the power supply and not the motherboard? Because I have heard that this can be caused by the motherboard. Also when this happens, is it harmful for the rest of the hardware?
