Event ID 41 concerns a freshly assembled PC.
It was yes. This will be the next step I attempt if it occurs again. I'm only going to cover the straightforward, less emotional aspects first. I spent a lot of time tweaking the bios after the update, so I reset everything to the default settings, turned on rebar (arc requires that), and now we're checking the results. I'll be updating soon.
I decided to name it. I’m pretty confident it’s working now—though I’m not entirely sure what fixed it. Here’s what I did: My new CPU came in the mail. I opened up my PC, disconnected all the power cables from the motherboard, took out the GPU, installed the new CPU, and then reassembled everything. It hasn’t crashed since, especially since this happened on Monday. Remember, last time I updated it it failed just two minutes later, so I hope I didn’t accidentally bring back some bad luck with this update. Thanks to @Sawa Takahashi for your help with the troubleshooting!
