Possible reasons for Event 41 include system malfunctions, network issues, and software errors.
Possible reasons for Event 41 include system malfunctions, network issues, and software errors.
The potential reasons for event 41 include system RAM limitations, specifically if the RAM doesn't support XMP and displays errors. Another possibility is hardware issues or driver problems. The issue tends to reappear when the screen isn't in use and the PC is idle, suggesting a connection between display activity and the error. Check RAM compatibility, verify driver status, and ensure no conflicting hardware is present.
Event 41 (Kernel Power) typically suggests windows weren't closed correctly, such as during a power failure or crash.
Hey there, if your PC keeps restarting or shutting down unexpectedly without any blue screen or memory error, and the event viewer only shows a single record about the improper shutdown, the power supply unit might be the culprit. I'm working on rebuilding this old 8700k + Z390 system, and it seems the PSU is failing. After replacing it with a new one, everything works fine. I'm frustrated because I delayed checking the PSU, spending a week diagnosing CPU, RAM, motherboard, or GPU, and dealing with multiple failed loops.
You can test your PSU by using a multimeter or a power supply tester to measure voltage and current. Since you have a warranty, ensure the test confirms it meets specifications before proceeding.
Even though I could move my PSU to another PC, the issue isn't consistent. It happens a few times a month or sometimes not at all for two months. This is really frustrating. It doesn't affect performance during heavy tasks.
Prior to that, I was viewing YouTube videos using Chrome and then closed Chrome, leaving the browser for a brief pause. Usually, Epic would also refresh in the background. Epic always runs in the background, so this shouldn't cause any issues. Since the restart is happening today after about two months, it might be related to the Windows SSD installation.
