Event error 41

Question

How do I tell what is causing these all the time? Computer doesn't BSOD, hang, restart, etc

Answer 1

Most likely the unexpected shutdown causes the minidump creation to fail. Have you tried to reseat the Graphics card, Processor, and memory module/RAM?

Answer 2

This folder is empty. It doesn’t crash just has hundreds of these critical events. Isn’t there a way to know what triggered it? Why is it so hard to find this out?

Answer 3

Yes, please share the latest minidump files.

Please find this folder.

C:\Windows\Minidump

Put the files in a zip

upload files to OneDrive

Share the link here.

Thank you

Answer 4

Thanks. I have a 1200W brand new power supply in a brand new PC I built with a Gigabyte z690 Xtreme motherboard, 4 brand new Samsung Pro m.2 SSD drives, 64GB of RAM, 24 i9 cpu cores at 3.2 GHz. No overclocking and default BIOS. I know all the basic troubleshooting techniques, but I think there is a data dump or log file that will tell me what is throwing that error? That's really all I need to know. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Jan and I'm happy to help you today. I'm sorry that you are experiencing these issues with your computer.

Error: Event ID: 41

Description: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first.

This error indicates that an error prevented Windows from shutting down correctly or the computer shuts down unexpectedly. Most likely caused by an interruption in the power supply, overheating, or a hardware problem. Ensure that all power cables are attached properly.

Please try the troubleshooting steps below.

1. Make sure your Windows is updated and with all its drivers. Download all pending updates from Windows updates as it will install all the drivers needed for your computer to run properly.

2 . Perform a Clean Boot to disable unnecessary startup and services. A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program.

3. Try to Boot in safe mode. If a problem doesn't happen in safe mode, this means that default settings and basic device drivers aren't causing the issue. Observing Windows in safe mode enables you to narrow down the source of a problem and can help you troubleshoot problems on your PC.

This can also indicate a hardware problem that causes your PC to shut down or reboot.

1. Disable overclocking. If you are overclocking set all settings to its default.

2 Perform a Memory test to detect if you have faulty memory or can be a bad memory slot.

3. Check the power supply. Verify that the power supply has enough wattage to appropriately handle the installed devices.
4. Check for overheating. Examine the internal temperature of the hardware and check for any overheating components.
