Problem encountered with blue screen during PC startup.
Problem encountered with blue screen during PC startup.
I encounter a blue screen issue where the Event Viewer displays "source kernel power Event ID 41 Task category (63)." I've updated all my drivers and Windows, completed stress tests, and temperatures are normal. I ran SFC scan and other diagnostics, but no clear cause is found. My system runs an RX 9070 XT, ASRock Z890 Pro-A with Wi-Fi, Kingston FuryBeast 5600 MHz 16 GB RAM, Intel Core Ultra 7 265 GHz, Arctic Freezer III Pro, plus a 850W Gold Plus 80 TUF gaming power supply. Please help. Edited May 12, 2025 by Rasmus.U
I encountered a problem with AMD's newest GPU driver from their site dated 5-8-2025, version Adrenaline 25.5.1. It triggered a blue screen, so I switched back to an older driver. This resolved the issue for me. Also keep in mind that a Windows update could install a GPU driver even after you've manually installed one.
Recent motherboard BIOS updates, newest chipset drivers, latest SSD firmware versions, and any GPU VBIOS releases are being checked. System health indicators such as hard disk status are also reviewed. Information from WhoCrashed and BlueScreenView is gathered for reference.
