I own a gaming PC that frequently restarts to kernel 41. The attached minidump from WinDbg shows the issue. Could anyone help identify the problem and suggest fixes? The file includes the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1) entry, indicating a high-address access attempt. It may point to driver misconfiguration. If you have access to the debugger, reviewing the stack trace could be useful. BUGCHECK details are available for reference.

A kernel 41 issue usually stems from power loss or hardware faults. Typical reasons include a weak power supply, overheating, or inconsistent overclocking. First, I’d clean the filters and fans—especially the PSU—as clogs can lead to heat issues and it’s good maintenance. Next, reduce the clock speed since your gear might not handle the current setting; try lowering it back to stock, run the game briefly, and check if the problem persists. If it does, increase the speed slightly but below what was originally set, then retry. While the machine is off, feel around for hot components to ensure none are overheating. This approach can save money because only the final step may cost you money.

I’m considering the overclocking suggestion, but I’ve already upgraded the PSU to a higher-quality model, even though it was brand new. It didn’t fix the problem. Every analysis shows the temperatures are within normal ranges, and the system is brand new with a clean build.
