Windows 10: Trying to get to the bottom of a Kernel-Power-41 critical error for the past 4 years, to no...

As stated, for the last four years or so I've been dealing with sudden system reboots, with grace periods of no trouble whatsoever and hellish months in constant battle with my machine. It is an older computer, 8 years old by now, but not obsolete at all. It has an eight-core AMD FX-8320E, a Radeon R9 390, 16GB of RAM, currently running on W10, Build 19045.3516. I know that Event ID 41 is not the cause of these system failures itself, since it is just an after-failure report. However, I have tried many, and I mean MANY different probable sources for these intermittent crashes and was never abl

Windows 10 Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power Critical Error 41 (63) Solution please.

I've already torn down, cleaned, and reassembled every single piece of hardware on my PC.

Here's what I'm getting -

Please note the last column - the figures in that column indicate the minutes over 24 hours since the last DPC_Watchdog shutdown. I've been tracking this since early November. If it was a hardware issue, don't you think the errors would be more random in
nature?

Additionally, I have a laptop that's barely 2 years old and it's experiencing the exact same thing. But, it's got completely different hardware from the PC. How does Microsoft explain that? They won't, don't or can't.

I'm learning to live with the issue, but it REALLY **** me off.

 

Critical Kernel-Power error when GPU is on load

Hello there,

I'm currently facing very annoying critical Kernel-Power errors every time my GPU is on load. Since Monday, 20. Feb. 2017 I'm using a GTX 1070. Right after installing the gpu I ran Grand theft auto 5 on maximum settings for testing. Everything was fine until
after a couple of minutes my PC suddenly shut down and rebooted on it's own. This happened a second time and a third time testing with Diablo 3, which is far less performance hungry.

So I checked the event viewer, which showed me:

I also observed that I had Kernel-Power issues in the past, using my Radeon HD 7870 - though I never realized them until now. Regarding the times they occurred, I obviously wasn't sitting at my PC at that time.

At first I suspected my Power Supply Unit as the malefactor, so I bought a new one. The shut downs continued.

I've monitored my temperatures during load and they were perfectly fine. (Cpu @ ~50°C and GPU @ 60-70°C).

Furthermore I do not receive any Kernel-Power errors when my PC is idle or used for browsing, streaming via VoD, etc. (My computer is almost running 24/7)

So I did try an older version of my graphics driver - no effect

updated Chipset and BIOS (UEFI) - no effect

My pc specifications:

Win 10 prof 64bit

Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3

GAINWARD GeForce GTX 1070 Phoenix GS 8 (brand-new)

16 Gb G.skill DDR3 (800Mhz)
