  1. Kernel-Power 41 randomly blue screen while gaming


    My computer has been randomly turning off while gaming or streaming, at first I didn't pay much attention to it because it wasn't so frequent. It happens 3-5 days apart so it's something that can easily slip my mind. But I want to get to the bottom of it before it becomes a huge problem. I'm not very tech-savvy but I can follow directions. Can anyone help me out in understanding how to fix this issue?

  2. 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.

    Regards,

    Kernel Power 41 PC randomly restarts

    My PC keeps restarting randomly, the GPU fans ramp up to 100% and no blue screen of death, just a black screen and the pc restarts, sometimes the monitor will report No Signal during the random restart process.


    Hi, my PC keeps either restarting randomly, it says it is Kernel Power 41 in event viewer

    I have tried memtest86 for over 12 hours
    I have tried sfc /scannow and CHKDSK
    My pc is not overheating, GPU temps never go above 73 and CPU never above 65
    It never occurs while in a game, so whenever PC is under load, the issue never occurs
    I have used DDU to uninstall graphics driver
    I have changed my power settings in windows
    I've updated my drivers, including BIOS

    Windows 10 Pro version: 20H2

    Critical Kernel Power 41 (63): Black screen, restart when playing game

    Kernel Power 41 63

    Computer turns black and automatically restarts when playing high demanding games, no BSOD, not overclocked.

    Games that have crashed:

    • Far Cry 4
    • The Division
    • Fortnite
    • Overwatch
    • Counter Strike GO
    • Last Man Standing

    Specs:

    • Cooler master 550w PSU
    • RX 470 4gb
    • Pentium g4560
    • Asrock MATX b250m MOBO
    • 2x 4gb rip jaws RAM
    • WD 1tb HDD
    • Gammamax 300 CPU Cooler

    OS: Windows 10

    I built the PC myself, errors started when playing high demanding games for the first time. Ran stress tests when first built, prime95 and heaven whilst logging temps for 8 hours, no crashes or high temps (max cup temp 54 C, max gpu temp 76 C). However, when playing games, within an hour, computer crashes (always kernel 41 63). I sent the PC to the outlet where I purchased the parts from, they had their own technicians run tests on all the parts. Initially, they found a fault with the PSU, which was at that time a 500w EVGA bronze. They replaced it with a 550w Cooler master gold. Still experienced 41 63, black out and restarts. Took it back, I said I suspected the MOBO was the issue, so they replaced it under warranty, problem persisted. I took it back for a third time, they took it to their head office, did extensive testing and found a fault with the CPU, they replaced it. Took them 3 weeks to complete... issue is still not resolved.

    At this point, my computer has been disassembled and parts replaced multiple times.

    Things I have done:

    • Updated all drivers (CPU, GPU, BIOS, sound etc)
    • Clean installation of Windows 10 multiple times
    • Stress tested with Heaven and Prime95
    • Logged temperatures while stress testing and playing games, haven’t seen any high temps
    • Disabled and enabled different sound drivers to test for conflicts
    • Replaced PSU, MOBO and CPU


    I’ve logged temps when both stress testing and while playing games. Here is my latest HWINFO log when playing Fortnite and then black screen and restart, kernel power 41 63. crash-test.CSV

    Happy to run any tests, suggestions and upload further logs. Really stuck on what to do....
