Windows 10: Windows 10 - Kernel-Power BSOD

Hi All,

Over the last 2 weeks I have recently started having frequent (daily) BSOD's on my 9 year old Home Theatre PC Windows 10 machine.

I have checked the usual suspects being system tempatures (CPU, Motherboard, Graphics Card, etc.), RAM stability, loose cable connections, etc. and have been unable to pinpoint a hardware based issue.


The specifications of the machine are as follows:

CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K CPU (not overclocked, running at stock everything)

RAM: 16GB RAM (running at the stock XMP profile settings)

Motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme4

OS Drive: Samsung SSD 850 Pro 512GB

Media Drives: 6 Mechanical Media Drives (All WD drives ranging from Black to Reds)

Cache Drive: Crucial m4 SSD 256GB live tv media cache drive


This machine is used as a Home Theatre PC and is rarely performing any intensive tasks other than basic 1080P video decoding.

There has been no major changes to the system in quite some time with the exception of a mechanical hard drive replacement for a media drive (non OS drive) about a month ago. I initially thought this may be the issue however the power failures still occur with this drive disconnected.


I have uploaded 2 Minidumps and an MSInfo32 capture to the following location if someone could please help review the dump logs for me:

I would greatly any help the many generous souls out there may be able to provide.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,

Dan

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 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.
