Windows 10: Windows 10 Desktop crashes once a day Kernel -Power 4163 error is generated

Hello,


I have an issue with my self build PC running Windows 10.


Once a day and only once a day it freezes after 20-30 minutes of use, sometimes followed by a reboot and the following event log is generated:

I have run tests on CPU, GPU, RAM and SSDs and all have come back ok. I have reset windows using the keep all files options, checked most up to date BIOS is installed and used a few different error checking tools to try and isolate the source of the problem. No joy thus far.


Any help would be much appreciated

:)

 

Several Kernel Errors within a day?


Lets get back to this troubleshooting step *Arrow Several Kernel Errors within a day? - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums
The result was a working system in safe mode, though the GPU isn't used in safe mode.
Please perform a clean boot again, watch the temperatures at all times (if you didn't yet) and from there we'll see what needs to be done. Please do not enable anything in taskmanager & msconfig, I want you to boot without any startup items & services enabled.

What was the BSOD stop code? Based on the BSOD stop code I'll edit the suggestion in this post.

 

Several Kernel Errors within a day?

If I do a clean boot would Windows ask for a key? If that's the case I don't have one since I'm using Windows 10 Pro when they were giving it free.

 

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.
