Check power and voltage for the system a few weeks old, and address Error ID 41.
I observed an unusual behavior in hwinfo64 where my mobos +12v rail fluctuates between 11.980v and 12.076v, a pattern also seen with other voltages like the +5v which reaches 5.020v. This curiosity led me to investigate further, especially since during clean boots or shutdowns I sometimes see error ID 41 in the Event Viewer, suggesting a dirty shutdown. It wasn’t clear whether this was due to a quick startup or some BIOS configuration related to booting. Recently, I disabled fast startup in Windows Power Settings and checked again—no error appeared. Meanwhile, considering the voltage variations, I wondered if they were normal or if something needed attention.
for Msi RTX 4070ti Ventus 12GB the recommended setup is atx 3.0 psu for consistent performance; anything below may cause unusual behavior, though voltages seem within range. it’s possible another issue exists—consider checking the connection of the motherboard, GPU, and PSU to ensure all are fully plugged in.
The specific reasons for atx 3.0 revolve around enhancing power efficiency. Your testing results confirmed stability during extended use, with no crashes observed after running the system through 30 minutes of cinebench and timespy extreme on a 3Dmark benchmark. All power connectors were properly secured.
they are mainly designed for 600w power line delivery tailored to the RXT 40 generation, considering those specifications. Atx 3.0 includes a dedicated connector for 600w power delivery that is used in the 40 generation.
What duration would you suggest for the exam? You finished a 10-minute test with no mistakes.
It should take around 10 minutes, based on my experience, I've had issues crashing due to a faulty PSU in a friend's setup, especially with his GPU being very power-hungry.
Sure, the GPU was averaging 272W, which seems typical under heavy use. I’ve also heard some users report exceeding 300W, though that might not be ideal considering the device’s stock rating of 285.
It's fine as long as your GPU and its temperature are normal, the system runs smoothly, and there are no artifacts or crashes. If you have a battery, make sure it's connected to the PC.
