Windows 10: Kernel Power Error Blue Screen of Death

Recently got a new PC. Everytime I run games it closes out or crashes. I ran a RAM test, updated all drivers, updated windows, reinstalled windows completely, scanned for corrupt files, downloaded BlueScreenView, searched up every code in Event Viewer. The last blue screen crash code I got was040325-8062-01.dmp 4/3/2025 3:27:31 AM IRQL\_NOT\_LESS\_OR\_EQUAL 0x0000000a ffffa6b7\`f04e2348 00000000\`00000002 00000000\`00000000 fffff807\`acfc212b ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.exe+4b54f0 x64 ntoskrnl.exe+4b54f0 C:\\WINDOWS\\Minidump\\040325-8062-01.dmp 12 15 26100 2,553,195 4/3/2025 3:27:52 AMAnd the last

Windows 10 Blue Screen of Death Kernel Security Check Error

Hi Jolanda,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you are getting
Kernel Security Check Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error randomly.
I appreciate your efforts, I will surely help you to fix this issue.

This bug check indicates that the kernel has detected the corruption of a critical data structure.

Try the steps listed here:

Method 1:

I suggest you to unplug all external devices except mouse and keyboard. Now restart the computer to check if this helps.

If the issue persists, I suggest you to perform SFC (System File Checker) Scan and check if it helps. SFC scan will scan for corrupt system files on the computer and replace them.

a. Click on Start button and type cmd in the
search box.

b. Right-click on the “cmd” option and select “Run as Administrator”.

d. Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit
Enter.

Note: Do not close the Command Prompt Window until the verification is 100% complete. The scan results will be shown after this process is finished.
