Kernal Power 41

Question

Hello,

I have been getting the Kernal Power/Kernal EventTracing issue for awhile now and I've done a lot of "quick fixes", but I cant seem to figure it out. This issue has been happening since I started playing more pc stressful games. Is there anyone who can read my DMP files to see what the issue is? I just cant figure out what the issue is. My specs are an 13th gen i7, 32 g of ram, and an 3070.

The Kernel Power Event ID 41 indicates that your system has rebooted without a clean shutdown, which can often be caused by hardware issues, power supply problems, or system crashes. Given that you mentioned this issue occurs during more demanding gaming sessions, it could be related to overheating, insufficient power supply, or driver conflicts.

To troubleshoot this issue, consider the following steps:

1. Check Power Supply: Ensure that your power supply unit (PSU) is adequate for your hardware, especially under load. A PSU that is not powerful enough can cause unexpected shutdowns.
2. Monitor Temperatures: Use monitoring software to check the temperatures of your CPU and GPU while gaming. Overheating can lead to system instability.
3. Update Drivers: Ensure all your drivers, particularly for your graphics card, are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause crashes during high-demand tasks.
4. Analyze DMP Files: While I cannot analyze DMP files directly, you can use tools like WinDbg or BlueScreenView to analyze crash dump files for more specific error codes that may indicate the root cause of the issue.
5. Check Event Logs: Look at the Windows Event Viewer for additional logs around the time of the unexpected shutdown. Event IDs 41, 1001, and 6008 can provide more context about what happened before the reboot.

If the problem persists after these checks, you may want to consult with a professional technician who can provide a more in-depth analysis of your system's hardware and software configuration.

Hi ,

Access the c:\windows\minidump folder, copy the files to your desktop, then upload them to OneDrive or Google Drive and post the link here for analysis.
