Windows 10: PC Suddenly and Randomly restarting, Event viewer giving Kernel Power Event ID:41 Category 63

Hi,For several months now my computer has been randomly resetting or just hanging up screen frozen without any particular reason that I can come up with.I don't know how to proceed with diagnostics, since I can't interpret minidumps not event logs any further.Windows update is on automatic, and I've checked also manual updates and all updates as up to date.Geforce drivers have been re-installed with clean install.Currently these resets/hangups happen way too often, I feel like I'm frantically saving all work and projects more than actually doing them, since I can't trust not losing progress

Randomly restarting, Event viewer giving Kernel Power Event 41(63)

I have the same issue.

Log Name: System

Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power Date: domingo 14 mai 2023 22:00:27

Event ID: 41

Task Category: (63)

Level: Critical

Keywords: (70368744177664),(2)

User: SYSTEM

Computer: Rui-PC

Description: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Event Xml: http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> 41 9 1 63 0 0x8000400000000002 53234 System Rui-PC 278 0xffffa90530454060 0xfffff80095683ac0 0xffffffffc000009a 0x4 0 0 0 0 false 0 0 false 0 0 false false 0 0 1

 

Event ID 41 Task Category 63

If i get no BSODs, no errors, no events logged in event viewer apart from kernel power 41 (63), not even the windows did not shut down successfully screen (don't know if that is still in windows 10), and the computer just turns off and a few seconds later it turns back on, is it safe to assume that it is the power supply and not the motherboard? Because I have heard that this can be caused by the motherboard. Also when this happens, is it harmful for the rest of the hardware?

 

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.
