Event 41, Kernal power discussion
There are numerous problems that might have triggered this kernel panic. Begin by jotting down or organizing your system details. Here are some steps you can consider: - Ensure your system is free of dust, particularly around the CPU and GPU heat sinks, and clean the fans. - If any components were overclocked, revert them to default or automatic settings. - Corrupted game files—try reinstalling the game. - Verify that all drivers, especially the graphics driver, are up to date. - Test the game to see if the issue recurs. Record what happened, such as the fan spinning excessively fast or encountering a blue screen (though this can occur occasionally, but Windows may not have enough time to capture the error before shutdown).
It might be due to various reasons, making it difficult to pinpoint from just one incident. I don’t need to worry right now. If this continues, look into what @Chiyawa discussed. It could be a software or hardware problem. Random shutdowns often point to a bad PSU, but if it only happens in-game, the GPU might be the culprit. Faulty RAM is another possibility. Good luck!
It's actually more serious than before... A Kernel Power issue indicates the system shut down abruptly, leaving no trace of what triggered it. It might stem from anything—from the power outlet to a failing part. I agree to check the temperatures of the CPU and GPU, and consider resetting any overclock settings. It's improbable this is due to software, though not impossible. The connection cable or an overloaded extension could also be responsible. Likely culprit is the power supply unit. If a BSOD appears, it means Windows recorded the event, so you should see that in the logs before the shutdown. No memory dump is needed to generate the error record.
I recently upgraded my CPU and motherboard to a Ryzen 7 3700X with an Aorus Elite Wi-Fi, so I don’t think those would be the issue. I also got my 2060 Super around Christmas, which is still brand new. Could it have been something from the installation of the new motherboard? This crash only happened once and occurred while I was using Modern Warfare.
It really comes down to a few things. Your power supply unit is the main factor here. What model are you using for your system? With all your parts being new, it seems likely everything will function properly. Also, do you have an uninterrupted power supply in place?
