  1. Kernel-Power error code 278


    Hey so recently my PC has started black screening, turning off all the way, turning back on indicated by caps lock working, but my monitors not showing anything until I press the power button on and off in my case. Sometimes such as right now when i try to turn it on nothing shows up on screen but caps lock responds and everything inside the pc seems to be powered on. I do not know what is causing this issue.

    :)

  2. Kernel-Power Error 41 Bugcheck Code 278

    So when I generated this error, it went straight to a BSOD and got stuck there at 100%

    I waited for a while and when it didn’t auto restart, I hard restarted it again

    As for Kaspersky, I didn't have it installed before today. I installed it just to do a system scan earlier this evening

    I had a question regarding the bugcheckcode 278 that was getting generated with the Kernel-Power event

    I couldn't find anything that helped me with that anywhere

    And that bugcheckcode has been constant whenever the system crashed these past few days, multiple times a day

  3. restart and kernel-power event

    Hi,



    The kernel power event ID 41 error occurs when the computer is shut down, or it restarts unexpectedly. When a computer that is running Windows starts, a check is performed to determine whether the computer was shut down cleanly. If the computer was not shut
    down cleanly, a Kernel Power Event 41 message is generated.



    Try this, see if it works for you:

    • Go to "Settings"
    • Select "System"
    • Select "Power and Sleep"
    • Select "Additional Power Settings"
    • Select "Choose what the power buttons do"
    • Select "Change settings currently available"
    • Ensure that "Turn on fast start up" is deselected (unticked)
    • Click on "Save Changes"


    Restart your computer after performing the steps.



    Let us know if the above steps resolved the issue.

    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,
