Unexpected crashes/restarts

Topic

New Reply

I have an HP Slimline desktop with Windows 10, first with 1803 and now with 1809. I got it as a gift last year, May 2018. Since then I’ve gotten 9 critical errors that leaded to crashing the entire system and forced restarts. Something like Blue Screens of Death. I checked the Computer Management (I have my system in Greeks, so my English terms might be different from the actual ones) to find out what’s going on. It seems that the source is the Kernel-Power with event identification as 41, and I’ve no idea what’s what. Here are the detailsof the latest crash.

First in user friendly form:

I think I’ve had enough with those craches and I need a solution. The last thing I want is losing an important project, programm or game because of this. Can anybody help me, please?

hi Terring,

i googled your error code and came up with two links you could look at:

https://windowsreport.com/kernel-power-41-error-windows-10/

and:

https://forums.techguy.org/threads/multiple-irp-requests-bsod-event-41-0x8000400000000002.1212711/

hopefully, someone here who has had this error can help you fix the problem…

Sadly there is little information for your problem

so I suggest to download a program called Blue Screen view

This program will allow you to check what does the blue screens are saying

(I don’t think I will be able to help you much after this, but I trust that others here will help you when you tell them what kind of blue screens you are having)

btw Are you keeping your laptop/pc in a cool place?  sometimes Overheat can causa all of this.

For last I leave you this screenshot to identify the blue screen type when you run Blue screen biew

Just someone who don't want Windows to mess with its computer.

All this bugcheck 0 (0,0,0,0) tells us is that Windows experienced a crash that happened too fast to log any details, “like someone pulled the plug”.

It might be power loss, hardware, bad driver, a Windows update, file corruption – almost anything.

I think I found the solution. One of the solution suggested in WindowsReport.com was to turn off the Fast Startup option. I did it and I’ve had no BSODs anymore. I was expecting a crash this month but it didn’t happen. Thank you very much and happy new year, folks 🙂

Perhaps this issue is closely linked with this one.

6 months have been passed since my last restart. Guess what happened. Restart again! Once again to the computer management, once again the same report. My system is in Greek, so let me translate it as best as I can.

No power failure, so I really don’t know what happened here. I was playing a game (a game I’ve been playing with it almost every day, so the game is not the problem), the system stopped responding and restarted by itself. What’s going on here?

A couple of ideas from sites:

A loose connection somewhere inside the desktop.

Is the power supply able delivery the amount of power for its specification; does your computer have a discrete graphics card?

Have you ever scanned your system for Malware?

Setting the computer to never attempt going into a sleep state.

Bad memory, try the Windows Memory Diagnostic as it is easier to use and can be launched from Windows Administrative Tools. Changing the options (F1) to Extended with more than two passes should stress the ram, but adds lots of time until the tests complete. The cache setting should be left as is for the first time; If you feel like taking the time to try testing again disable the cache as it could provide a different result.

(There is another through memory testing utility, MemTest86 but it requires some technical knowledge about your computer to use the right version.)

CPU temperature too hot, defective video driver…

Again, no data (all 0) to help.

Yes, it happened again. The computer restarted out of nowhere and generated Event ID 41, but the BugcheckCode and PowerButtonTimestamp values are once again zero.

And BlueScreenView can’t find any minidumb.

What I’m afraid is that it crashes at hardware level so OS doesn’t get any warning before it happens. Should I try opening my PC or send it to a technician to check it out?

Why no problems during the coldest months, did the usage/location of the machine change?

I had the same bugcheck/BSOD as you a few nights ago on my main PC whilst running F@Home, on what was probably the warmest night of the year so far here. I’m pretty sure it was heat -related, rather than the PSU running out of steam as ~190-209W is the normal power usage range when folding/gaming, or even both together!

I’ve since tweaked Precision X1 to reduce the power target for the GTX 1060 blower GPU and bump up the fan rate as I’m only running a 360W Seasonic PSU in an ITX case, but there’s a new 450FM ready to replace it if needed.

No dumps, just this:

This article suggests you have a power supply issue.
Does the problem happen when you are doing anything in particular, such a running a demanding game?

cheers, Paul

I’ve been having the exact same problem as Terring for over a year and haven’t been able to find a solution or even a solid cause. My temps are well under control for CPU and GPU, I swapped and upgraded my power supply thinking that was it, but no change. It usually happens during gaming, but I have actually had it happen once while just watching youtube in a browser with little to no other programs running.

Any updates from the community?

You could try resetting your UEFI/BIOS to it’s default settings.

Sudden unstable crashes have happened to me after I experimented with small overclocking settings in my UEFI/BIOS.

Desktop Asus TUF X299 Mark 1, CPU: Intel Core i7-7820X Skylake-X 8-Core 3.6 GHz, RAM: 32GB, GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti 4GB. Display: Four 27" 1080p screens 2 over 2 quad.

Asking for guesses without supplying any more data than this, with the chance of doing more damage should you act on them.

Speccy report, (mini)dumps, MSInfo32 output uploaded… all three would be better.
