I bought custom build PC in August 2021 which was working completely fine till about last month when i started getting BSODs and when I looked into event error i found that Volmgr and Kernel Power 41 constant errors and critical event only while gaming at different times. I have tried almost all methods like updating drivers, updating windows, direct connection to AC bypassing UPS, Removing peripherals, uninstalling programs that i installed during this time frame and what not. PLEASE HELP because gaming is the only thing keeping me from getting bored at new place and also i have invested so much money into building this PC.

    Hi Kartikeya,

    To try to force Windows 10 show any faulting drivers, the best option would be to turn on Driver Verifier, let your PC crash 3 times, then you must turn off Driver Verifier, and finally, upload any newly created minidump files

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    Note, if you have any difficulty getting into Windows with Driver Verifier enabled:

    Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

    Do this twice

    On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt... etc.

    Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Settings and click Restart

    Upon restart, press 4 to enter Safe Mode

    Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run these two commands, then restart your PC.

    verifier /reset

    verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail

    Hi Kartikeya,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Even though that indicates dump file creation failed, please check to see if your PC is producing any minidump files, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes.

    Open Windows File Explorer.

    Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump

    Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop, then zip those up.

    Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive, DropBox... etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link.

    Then post the link here to the zip file, so we can take a look for you.
