Windows 10: Kernel-Power Errors After Refreshing Windows 10

Stats of the System


AMD Ryzen 3900x

ASUS ROG STRIX X-570-E GAMING BIOS Updated to 1408

EVGA RTX 2080 Super 445.98

32GB G.SKILL RAM


Everything was bought around March of 2020, except for the GPU which was bought in November of 2019.


I've been getting Blue Screens whenever I play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However it does not happen during game play. It happens an hour or so after. I had this issue before and refreshed my windows on May 24. It was stable all day today and when after I refreshed and installed all my work apps and games. It has started to blue screen again. I keep getting Driver State Power Failure. The PSU is brand new and was found to have no issues.



Here is one of the event logs with 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.

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 error 41

Just posted on another thread dealing with kernel power 41 error. I had this issue when I first upgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 10. My system would just restart itself every time after starting up my computer each day after work. For me it would happen roughly 10 mins in from startup.

A little research showed that it was caused by having fast startup enabled under power options. Once I disable this I haven't had this issue popup since.

I'm not saying it can't be hardware related, but under 8.1/10 it's such an easy option to disable and check it's worth the small amount of time it takes to test it.
