Error encountered during Kernel-Power-41 execution.
Hello, System frequently shuts down and restarts more often than before due to the Kernel-Power-41 error on Windows 11. After replacing the RAM and memory module, the BSOD persists. Now with the new RAM, the crashes have stopped, but the Kernel-Power-41 issue remains—screen goes black and the whole system reboots regardless of activity. I left the computer idle for about 30 minutes before it restarted. Hardware details: Motherboard Asus ROG Strix Z490-E, Processor Intel Core i7-10700K @ 5.2GHz, GPU Asus GTX Strix 1660TI, RAM Corsair 32GB 3200Mhz Vengeance RGB, Case Phanteks Pro M with tempered glass cooler, SSD Samsung 850 Evo 500GB, Crucial MX500 1TB M.2, HDD Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB (two 2TB drives), total 4TB. I ran CMD system tests and received no results. The BIOS was set to XMP 1, but when loading MSFS2020 it rebooted again.
Performed a power test with the multimeter using the black and red probes. Based on my observations, it passed. The readings matched the expected values for each of the 24 pins.
I experienced similar problems before, mainly due to an overclocked graphics card. Switching it to silent mode helped once for me. Now, on a different system, I tried everything but failed. Updating the power supply didn’t work. Eventually, I purchased a UPS, which resolved the issue again. It seems my wall outlet introduces minor glitches that trigger a "41" error in the event log.
Sure, I understand. UPS is important, but the PSU wattage isn't available yet. I'll keep an eye on it.
My setup isn’t GPU-dependent; I’ve reinstalled the BIOS, updated drivers, and it’s been smooth ever since. Still, I made several changes and it’s hard to say if things will work again. The issue began after a faulty RAM stick—XD—I thought it was an 850-watt power supply.
