Is it possible for my computer to start up on its own?
hi, lately my computer keeps restarting on its own from time to time. It just gives me one error code: Kernel-Power 41 (63). There is no blue screen and the system restarts automatically after that message shows up. I tried making a minidump file but it didn't happen, even though I have that feature turned on in my settings. My computer parts are these things: CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600 RAM 32GB from Kingston Fury GPU AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Motherboard Asus Prime B550-Plus. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks so much for your help.
Where do I find out what makes this power supply unit? What specific model or part number does it have? And how long has it been around? Was it brand new when I got it, or did someone give me a used one with a quick repair?
The power supply unit is new from December of 2024. I bought it because I wanted a more powerful graphics card. The PSU is Quiet! Pure Power 12 M rated for 850 watts. There was no problem until May, but in the last two weeks my computer started to restart. I have had this GPU since February.
Hey there, are you using both CPU or GPU at a high speed (overclocking)? If yes, just turn them off and try again. The Kernal Power 41 error means the power was cut. Have all your drivers, like chipsets and GPU drivers, been updated? What version of BIOS do you have running?
Hey, yeah a couple of months back I changed how my CPU works by boosting its speed using AMD Ryzen Master. Everything on my side has been current - drivers and BIOS are both up-to-date. I'm going to try taking that boost away now. Thanks for helping me out with this.
No I did not clear my CMOS because I wasn't sure what needed doing. How can I clear it now?
So, I'm using the same motherboard as you. It's pretty simple to do. First, turn off your computer and take out all extra wires like the power cable or any USB devices. Next, open up the box on the side of the tower to get in there safely. Then, carefully pull out your graphics card. After that, take out the little coin battery from the back near where the GPU sits. Now, use a flathead screwdriver to touch two small pins marked CLRTC right at the edge of the motherboard next to the USB ports and hold them down for about ten or twenty seconds to reset it. Put the battery back in, slide your GPU back in, and snap the side panel shut. Finally, plug the power cable back in and connect any other stuff you need. When you start up again, you'll see something different than usual on the screen. It will ask you to press F1 to go into BIOS settings to change things around. Once you finish setting everything the right way, turn it off once more and try booting it up again to make sure it works fine.
It's a good power supply unit (PSU), so it shouldn't cause problems like a bad PSU. The other possible problem could be the CPU, GPU getting too hot. Problems with the motherboard (MoBo) or voltage regulator module (VRM) are uncommon. You can check temperatures using HWinfo64.
I don't think I can take this back. The setting won't come down because Ryzen Master isn't working on my Windows 11. Maybe trying to wipe the settings is a better move.
