Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

"Event 41 Kernel-Power" is registered in all types of abrupt system shutdowns. Therefore, it is not an entry that helps identify the cause of the problem. It is necessary to investigate.

Please export and share the log for analysis:

1. Press Windows + X and select Event Viewer;
2. Expand Windows Logs and select System;
3. In the Actions panel on the right, select Filter Current Log;
4. In Event level, check the boxes Critical, Warning, and Error and click on Ok;
5. Again, in the Actions panel, select Save Filtered Log File As and save in an easily accessible place.

Then, upload the file to the cloud (OneDrive), choose to share it, and get the link.

Post the link to the file here so I can have a look.

Looking forward to your reply.
