Does anyone know how to fix the Kernel Power 41 error that keeps blue-screening and restarting the PC on windows 11..? I’ve heard of updating windows, troubleshooting Power and command inputs etc.. but have yet to try them. Does anyone else have any fixes for this and how it happened..? This issue started happening just a few days ago.

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to Kernel Power 41.

    The warning "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first" is associated with the event 41 kernel power, which indicates that something unexpected occurred that prevented Windows from going off properly. The system could experience this error if it abruptly crashed, stopped responding, or lost power.

    1. Try to Disable fast startup using command. powercfg /hibernate off
    2. Reset BIOS to default
    3. Update BIOS firmware and all Drivers from vendor website.

    It took me a while but I finally figured it out. As long as your hardware is fine (like in my case, none of the hardware turned out faulty). If that's the case, here's what you should do:

    1. Open device manager
    2. Go to the battery section
    3. Right click and click on "Search for hardware changes" (or whatever it's called)

    Note: You will have to do this (step 3) for everything that appears under the battery section, and then restart your device. If it doesn't get fixed, try emergency restart.

    Hello,

    In my case the problem was that my (C:) Drive was almost full and crashed because of that constantly. Or in simple way i ran out of virtual memory while gaming (check wikipedia). I this helps. solved this by bying more storage. One way to fix this also (i think) is disabling virtual memory in someway (registry editor) but i didnt try that. I hope this helps

    Regards, Onni

    Hello,

    I'm experiencing the same problem here. My system keeps crashing when highly solicited.

    So far, I've tried (with no success) almost all the solutions available on the internet and this site (clean install, updates, updating BIOS, power management adjustments, memory checks, running "sfc /scannow"...).

    Since it's not a laptop, the issue doesn't seem to be related to a battery problem, and it doesn't appear to be a hardware malfunction either.

    Like Random User 459, this problem started a few weeks ago.

    I would greatly appreciate any advice you may have.

    Strange question but has anyone installed Helldivers 2 recently when the errors started? mine actually started the day after I purchased the game. could be coincidence, but I've heard gnarly things about the kernel-level anticheat. just a shot in the dark
