Windows 10: Kernel Power 41 Crash after reinstalling Windows

I'm literally about to try doing satanic chants to stop my computer crashes. This issue started appearing after i've decided that after upgrading my CPU and switching my motherboard that it would be good to have a clean Windows install. For two weeks after upgrading without reinstalling Windows everything went fine and without any problems zero crashes.


Then i've decided to reinstall Windows and from there on things started going downhill. After a two days after my fresh install i had my first Kernel Power 41 crash and i wasn't sure what happened. The cause from the crashes are always unknown. Below is a typical log of this wonderful Kernel-Power 41 crash. They're literally are always zeroed out.

Then i assumed my Windows install was faulty and and reinstalled again twice after my Windows started crashing again. When my install had no programs installed it never crashed, it only started crashing after installing a few programs. Which leads me to believe that it could be a software issue. But my knowledge about how to debug driver/software issues that could cause these problems is very limited especially because there are no logs pointing to specific errors or any mindiump files.


System:

- ASUS Prime B250-PLUS

- i7-6700k No overclock but undervolted for better temperatures, but crashes also occur under normal voltages

- GTX 1060 No overclock

- 32GB DDR4 2666 Mhz HyperX RAM

- 2 x 240GB Kingston SSD's Windows is installed on one of them

- 1 x 1TB HDD


These crashes always happen periodically and randomly. Somedays i have 3-5 crashes and on some days i literally have zero crashes and very rarely i go two to three days without crashing.


These crashes mostly happen under low load and are extremly rarely while gaming.I have no bluescreen and my screen goes completly black and then my computer reboots, no minidump file or anything, just this infuriating extremly generic message in event viewer.


The only crash i experienced during gaming was very weird. My computer didn't reboot but was suddenly frozen and displayed the last unfrozen image that my monitor displayed, i then had to turn my computer off by holding down the power button for a few seconds.

GPU and CPU temperatures are always in the optimal range and are never too high.


What i've tried so far:


- Reinstalling Windows- Reinstalling nvidia drivers with DDU uninstaller.

- Disabling windows power saving HDD and other stuff

- Uninstalling Realtek audio drivers and stopping them from reinstalling

- Turning off fast boot

- Testing my RAM with memtest86 No errors after 12 hours

- Switching my PSU for a newer more reliable one

- Switching my RAM for another freshly bought one

- Reseating all my cables in my computer case and making sure they're properly seated

- Reseating my RAM

- Unplugging my HDD Because it's rather old and i think it'll fail soon because it makes weird noises on startup


My computer is directly plugged into the power outlet and not into an extension cord if that's important. I've had this issue for four months since upgrading my computer but now im at my breaking point and this is really pissing me off that this issue still persists although i've tried so much and spent a lot of money.


Usually i really don't have any problems with computers since i'm used to being able to fix every tech problem i've had come upon because im rather tech savvy. But damn this **** is making my head hurt like hell. Never was so frustrated about a problem.

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.

Hope this can help tell me why the crash has started to suddenly occur over the last few days.

Thank you!

Kernel 41 Power issue

Hello,

When the computer shuts down or restarts unexpectedly, the Kernel Power Event ID 41 error occurs. Upon starting a computer running Windows, the system checks whether the computer was properly shut down. If the computer was not properly turned off, a Kernel
Power Event 41 message is generated.

Regarding the error that you're getting, we suggest that you check the solution provided by
