How to fix Kernel Power Error 41 (63)

Question

I keep getting this error while gaming. When it happens my screen goes green and my computer makes a loud screech and my computer restarts.

I've done/tested/checked:

• I have been monitoring the temperatures of my hardware and they are not overheating.
• Turned off fast setup.
• Windows Memory check, no problems there.
• No event ID 46.
• Most recent windows update.
• All drivers are updated.
• My power supply is fine.

Hello,

If we could see the bugcheck code is 0 in event id 41, it always mean that shutdown manually by press the power button or hardware issue.

Event ID 41 The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first - Windows Client | Microsoft Learn
