Question Noob is trying to figure out what Error Event ID 41 means.
I'm unsure about the root cause of my issue. I've assembled three PCs using Intel and AMD processors, but I struggle with identifying actual problems. Typically, a PC will restart on its own during gameplay, not just for specific games.
I didn't realize this, so I removed two DIMM and tried slots 1 and 3, using code 00 on the motherboard but no boot occurred. I swapped the RAM sets and moved to slot 2 and 4, then started a game which restarted after about three minutes due to this issue. The RAM shows manufacturer month differences to distinguish the two. The PC remains stable until games are played.
Ignore the critical error 41, as it merely indicates an unexpected system shutdown. Focus on reviewing the error log from the last hour to identify the actual issues. If no urgent warnings appear, proceed with these steps:
- Install the newest GPU driver for your card.
- Use DDU to remove any existing AMD GPU drivers.
- Disconnect the Ethernet cable during reboot; this prevents Microsoft from attempting driver installations.
- After restarting, install updated GPU drivers and reconnect the Ethernet cable.
- Test by lowering the GPU voltage—reducing power fluctuations might stabilize performance.
If voltage adjustments resolve the problem, consider maintaining the current setup or upgrading your power supply to handle spikes.
These are the issues being displayed, but I’m not sure what to focus on. I’m very new to this. The AQnic650 error seems linked to a motherboard Ethernet cable problem, though I’m unsure how many errors are typical. I attempted to undervolt the GPU before and again, but it didn’t significantly affect stability. This GPU has coil whine, so I usually undervolt it to manage the noise. After rebooting, I’d often forget to redo the undervolting since I was using a headset, and even then the reboots still caused problems.
