Windows 10: Kernel Power 41 Error

GPU MSI GeForce RTX 3070
CPU/COOLER AMD Ryzen 7 3700x / NZXT Kraken X53

MOBO MSI B550 Gaming Plus

MEMORY G.Skill Trident Z 32GB 3600MHz
PSU Corsair RM850

STORAGE Samsung: 970 EVO 1TB M.2 SSD / 860 EVO 2TB SATA SSD


BACKGROUND: Just about a month ago I build my first PC. Everything worked except my M.2 boot drive was not being recognized once I changed my RAM to manufacture speeds. When I saved changed and restarted, the computer would turn on but only show black. After about a minute or 2 the computer would eventually boot into BIOS. I'm unsure of what made this happen, but my belief is that because there was no OS, the computer went back to BIOS. However, once I changed the speed back, the computer would boot with no issues. In the end, I un/reinstalled my M.2 drive, and reset Windows. One of these things fixed my issue, allowing me to run 3600MHz.


CURRENT ISSUE: A week or so passes and my computer suddenly goes black while gaming. It was as if my computer went in sleep mode with black monitors and computer still on. A minute or 2 passes and the computer boots to windows I believe this is a restart. I went into Event Viewer, seeing "Critical Kernel Power Event 41" IMAGEhttps://gyazo.com/aab32b914c3e749f694d3c2b17bd7b37. This error would happen randomly while playing a game. I immediately reset BIOS to default settings and ran a Heaven Benchmark test, leading to the same error within 5 minutes. I had also ran a Windows Memory Diagnostic resulting in 0 Issues Found.


Heres the dump file: https://1drv.ms/u/s!At8QUeA39wIslx3iJKbDIbVjOTff?e=XCTuYq


I have no idea what any of this means. With some research I'm left with little to no information on what to do or how to further identify the issue of this error. PLEASE HELP! Yes I have already tried reinstalling Windows again

:)

[SOLVED] Kernel-Power 41 (63) error

 

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.
