Do you experience multiple BSODs each day?
Do you experience multiple BSODs each day?
I've been experiencing several BSODs daily based on what I use my PC for that day. It began a few months ago with CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED errors. After a fresh installation of the boot drive, a week passed and the BSODs returned without flashing long enough for me to notice the error. I reviewed the event logs and saw criticals errors, but they only mentioned Kernel-Power 41 (63) followed by a critical event after reboot indicating Diagnostics-Performance Event ID: 100. I think the problem comes from the kernel BSOD or the events leading up to it, but I need guidance on diagnosing which hardware might need replacement from these errors.
I've tried CHKDSK, mdsched.exe, SFC scans, a clean install, and BIOS updates, but haven't been able to identify the issue.
If anyone can assist, it would be a great help.
Regards,
Dabsie
Speaking of hardware;
Full system specs, including PSU make and model (or part number) is? Also, how old the PSU is, and was the PSU bought new or used/refurbished?
PC Specifications -
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI (Intel)
Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus
Hard Drive: Seagate ST2000DM008-2FR102 2TB SATA Drive

All components were purchased new.
The construction date was 2019, so the system is holding up well.
You can receive complete PSU information upon request. Just let me know.
This issue arises following an unexpected restart. Upon startup, Windows executes a report and detects irregularities from the prior shutdown, triggering this event. It is considered a reaction rather than a cause. The Volume Manager handles storage devices, which may refer to the C drive or an HDD. Consider running Magician on your SSD via the provided link. For HDDs, refer to the support page at the given URL.
The BSOD codes are numerous—over 255 entries exist, prompting further investigation. If the critical process has already failed, it would be noteworthy as such errors typically stem from Windows crashing, including boot files.
Follow the instructions in option one on the linked page, then proceed with the next steps: create a small memory dump during a BSOD using Windows File Explorer, locate the generated mini-dump files on your Desktop, transfer them to a cloud storage service, and share the link for review.
I've completed a similar task before and can share a zip file of all crashes after the memtest. I've also set up an action in the registry to log every BSOD. Once my PC is back online, I'll attach the log files immediately! Thank you for your prompt response!
41 63 doesn't automatically mean a bad PSU, it's just a restart.
It's also not an error—it's just an event.
