Windows 10: Windows randomly blue screens during restarting or powering off.

I can tell when it's about to happen, because it would be over 5 minutes passed and the shutdown or restart loop is still spinning. Eventually after is when I get the blue screen. This does not happen every time, but about half of the time when I try to restart or shutdown. I've tried 'Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files', this post, and turning fast startup off. The blue screen error I get is "Driver Power State Failure". The only settings that have been changed that are power related since I've built this pc 3 months ago is how fast it will go into

Can't get passed blue restart screen

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Community, we understand your concern and we will try our best to help you resolve the issue.

Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

1. What steps have you perform to resolve the issue?

2. Did you make any recent changes to your computer before the issue arise?



For now, I would suggest that you perform Power Drain and check if you are able to boot into the desktop.

• Unplug the charger and remove the battery of your laptop, if using a desktop remove the power cord.
• Press and hold the Power button for 30sec
• Plug the charger/power cord and restart system.

If you are unable to access the desktop, I would suggest that you refer to the article

Computer randomly has black screen and restarts

Taco this could be software also. Before you get all crazy, do as Erocker suggested. Find out the error in the Event Viewer. Look for the faulting module and the error code itself. Also check the reliability monitor. At the bottom it will have "View all Error Reports". Post a screen of whats in there if anything.

This could be a simple as a bad driver install.

ALSO have you downloaded or installed anything lately? STAY OUT OF THE DAMN BIOS UNTIL WE KNOW THE ERROR! lol. I know you. Baby steps boy, baby steps.

 

Kernel Power 41 PC randomly restarts

My PC keeps restarting randomly, the GPU fans ramp up to 100% and no blue screen of death, just a black screen and the pc restarts, sometimes the monitor will report No Signal during the random restart process.


Hi, my PC keeps either restarting randomly, it says it is Kernel Power 41 in event viewer

I have tried memtest86 for over 12 hours
I have tried sfc /scannow and CHKDSK
My pc is not overheating, GPU temps never go above 73 and CPU never above 65
It never occurs while in a game, so whenever PC is under load, the issue never occurs
I have used DDU to uninstall graphics driver
I have changed my power settings in windows
I've updated my drivers, including BIOS
