Windows 10: Windows 10 BSOD Kernel-Power Error Event ID 41

My PC has been repeatedly encountering BSOD errors while gaming. It usually only happens around 10-25 minutes after launch, but it will BSOD and crash to reboot. It usually happens on more graphically intensive games like Titanfall 2 or Overwatch, when playing lighter games like Terraria, it generally does not crash, but it has crashed once while watching YouTube. Before crashing, there usually is a brief stuttering that slowly gets worse until it crashes. In my Event Log, I have 2 critical events, both Kernel-Power, one with bug check code 196, the other with 209. I've already run memtest to check for faulty memory, memtest didn't find any issues. I've checked most of my drivers for updates, but most of them are updated properly, though I don't know how I would determine which driver is faulty to begin with. I've already bitten the bullet and reinstalled windows onto my main SSD, but that hasn't resolved the issue either. I don't know if its worth it to buy a PSU tester to see if the issue is my power supply, or what else to do. Below I have attached the link to my systems Minidump file, so hopefully this can shed some light on my issue. Thank you for any help that can be provided.

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.

BSOD since 23/07, Critical Error Kernel Power- event ID 41

Zbook,

Thankyou very much for your reply. In relation to your first post, I have carried out steps 10-22 (apart from step 15, I will attempt to leave it running with this tonight). The screenshots are attached. I have also uninstalled the programmes detailed above. Unfortunately, as my laptop is a custom built from PCSpecialist, they do not provide BIOS updates anywhere easily accessible. I will phoen them today and see if there are any updates.

Kind Regards
Ash
