I haven't experienced a kernel power 41 issue recently. Today it triggered three times with the same problem—system won't boot. Drivers are always updated and never cause this. My Windows 11 setup runs on an I7 10700k with 32GB DDR4 at 3200/1660TI OS on an SSD, using Windows 11. The issue started while I was editing photos in Photoshop CS4 and switching between tabs in Edge. While editing images, the system slowed down noticeably. After resizing a large image, it crashed and restarted. Kernel power 41

Kernel Power 41 is a generic issue indicating your PC restarted unexpectedly without properly shutting down. Similar situations can occur when you press the power button or switch the PSU while it's still active. The actual cause of the problem lies elsewhere—check the Event Viewer for related errors around the time the PC rebooted, such as BugCheck or WHEA-Logger entries. For instance, a previous crash caused multiple reboots and logged a WHEA-Logger Event 18 Cache Hierarchy Error. Look for comparable entries in the Event Viewer.

After the system restart, I encountered several issues—seems like I don’t run into the same problems as others, but I’m not sure what to check next.

Don’t notice any clear issues that might trigger a restart. Consider narrowing the Event Viewer to just errors and criticals, then check around Event 41. Also, could you tell me what your power supply unit is?

It just happened without any big issues before or after, so we can confirm it's normal. Could be the GPU is getting too busy, or maybe it's using less than 200W—my setup runs at 850W.
