As an ex IT professional I really found this video to be really excellent. But all us IT professional do is order up a load of parts and change out parts in a server/pc until it started working again. This fault finding is on another level! Well done Mike.
A very big 'thank you' to Mike for this video. For ages I had been suffering crashes and WHEA errors. Thinking this was a hardware problem, I replaced the boot drive, memory, motherboard and finally the PSU, all to no avail. Checking the PSU output voltages never occurred to me until I watched this. Only then did I notice that the 3.3v output was sometimes dropping as low as 2.8v. Turned out that it wasn't even the PSU that was faulty - simply the motherboard cable, which wasn't properly seated in the PSU. I can only assume I must have dislodged it slightly when opening the case. I fixed that, the voltage stabilised at 3.312v to 3.328v, and the machine has been running perfectly ever since. Much to my relief! Now, if I ever get a similar issue again, the first thing I will check is the PSU. Thanks again, Mike!
@@mikesunboxing So PSU died damn i just upgraded fromm a 850w to 1000w 1000w died now i gotta go back to 850w But hey the 1000w psu still works tho pc turns on and randomly when using pc like watching a movie or surfing the internet it shut down.

thank you so much, my pc experiencing kernel id 41 random shutdown every 20~ mins my pc running a game I've tried bunch of troubleshooting tips and the problem still persist until I found this video, I immediately check my psu current power and it turned out my +12v is running between 12.600-12.768 replacing the cables and psu power port fix this problem and now it running stable at 12.220-12.340. again, thanks for this helpful guide Mike !
i had this problem for over 1 month, i continuously had strange PC resets/turn off, and it was at random times, sometimes it would reset, and in 2-3 seconds it would reset again over and over just when windows start up, it was randomly, i was going to format my whole pc, but instead i was guessing this could be a PSU problem, i brought a new PSU and it solve the problem, for me it was my PSU it was dying due to old age, I'm just happy i got it all sorted out.
Interesting topic and something to keep in mind with my multiple pc setups as I’ve had the error before and not found consistent information about it 🤔. Great work Mike 👍😉
Thanks, mine were one second apart, so it was a snap to identify the correct cause of my crashes. In my case it was a missing TPM 2.0 security driver in Win10 HM 22H2 that kept triggering the event. Would always fail a GPU stress test within 10 seconds. No more though! I thought for SURE it had to have something to do with graphics, so this video saved me a bundle in an unnecessary GC replacement.
Very interesting topic Mike. Since upgrading to win11 and using amazon prime video my pc keeps freezing mid eoisode. The buttons respond to key presses but dont activate. Say oress win key get menu then no response. Even selecting shut down pc goes into cycle but never cometes. Always requires hard shutdown. I was thinking of buying a psu tester (think i mdntioned it in live stream) as my 12v is showing 10.4v in HWMonitor. The psu is an AeroCool Integrator, bought new last jan, so now after this video I am undecided. Plays games , streams bflix movies no issue. Just this prime video app which you said can have a high draw on power. Thanks for saving me the embarassment of buying a tester lol Stay safe Mike and Kath👍

Hey man really amazing video, ive currently had this fault for over 2 years now trying thousands of things. Ive done a stress test on the memory and gpu. Done a windows verifier to check all drivers. Updated bios. Changed all the settings in windows that many other youtube video's mentioned. Changed power supply twice. Changed motherboard. Installed a surge protector Im really stuck on what do try or do It's mainly when im playing World Of Warcraft or other games, but has done it to me while just watching youtube videos. Is there anything i may have missed?

I’m getting a kernel 41 error randomly (not even under load often). I have already: Updated all drivers Replaced PSU, SSD, HDD, GPU, and RAM I also have disabled fast startup, changed my power settings, and disabled automatic restart. What happens to me is it will randomly shut off with no BSOD. This has been happening on and off for the last 5 months or so. Any help would be appreciated.

I also have the issue. The problem is i tried almost everything. My pc just turn off.. 3 sec and turn on. Reboot can happend in idle/gaming whatever even in BIOS or memtest86 i experienced random restart so... it just happend like 1 time a week, 3 times a day, 2 times a month just random. Things i tried (nothing helps): - reconnect psu cables - tested my RAM with memtest86 (everything is fine, but got at 1st attempt reboot) - tried other PSU (same error) - RMA my PSU (got new one lol, but still nothing even its new) - RMA my MOBO (asus service told me that motherboard is fine without any issues) - Updated every drives (nothing helps) - BIOS Update - turn off/on xmp (same error) - tried other power socket in home and my friend home (problem still occurs) - tried different settings in bios acpi_cst c1 declaration disabled (still kernel power) - gave my ram to my friend PC with 5800x, b550 gigabyte aero, 3070 gigabyte and they runs without any problems on xmp 3600mhz -gave my GPU to friend PC and its also working without problems - bought another mobo b550 to test and it happend like 3 min after first boot and went to BIOS and poof my PC reboot in bios on brand new mobo so my x570 as asus service said is fine i guess Now i'm waiting for decission from AMD cuz i RMA my cpu... hope it is cpu problem cuz i'm fighting with it like 1 year

Hey so I fixed my issue due one of the comments here. I had literally replaced almost every component and it was still happening. Combination of x570 and 5000 series seems the mobos don't handle voltage control well. I had literally tested every thing imaginable and it was still doing it down to individual cables. Only thing that worked was setting a 80milivolt offset voltage. Huge thanks to whoever said it but can't find the comment to thank them
@@mikesunboxing overvolt set as an offset + value. Thank you for liking and bring attention to this. I have been hunting this issue for a good 11 months now
i am just going to say it, you sir are a FUCKING ROCK STAR. I have been having issues since about 2021 (i know, i know) and after watching your video i finally decided to rip my pc apart plug by plug and reinsert them all, and there it was......a 6 pin PSU on my power supply had so much tension on it that is was slightly cocked, which tells me it wasn't getting enough power. I cut the zip ties that were holding all my cables and realized the amount of tension on them was unreal. I plugged it back in flush, put everything back together and I haven't had ONE crash in 2 going on 3 days now, my pc hasn't EVER run this well, I thought i was just victim to bad parts. I did have to reoverclock the whole system now that it was having the proper power coming in now. Thank you VERY much sir.
I'm just now struggling with same issue of kernel power. Changed, psu, ram, fresh system. Amount of crashes dropped but still happening. So to check if mobo is faulty there is no an easy way. Actually in this case even replacing needs couple weeks of testing. As kernel power occurs randomly.
Thanks, @@mikesunboxing just checked literally all, especially pci and 12v to mobo. Your idea to check voltage via Hvmonitor was very usefull. In my case its stable so far. Move i've done now was to change voltage on ram to 1.38. Maybe that would do. Also, its 5800x3d, they're a bit unstable imo.

Hello Mike. This is perfect timing. This is the exact problem and error message I'm having with my new AM5 7700X on a Asus rog strix B650-A gaming wifi I've been telling you about. When I enable Expo, I get random reboots with no blue screen message. Unfortunately Cpuid Hardware monitor does not show a thing about my power supply like what you have in the video. I even downloaded the version of cpuid hardware monitor you have and it still shows nothing about my power supply voltages that I can see. My corsair power supply is 5 years old in this new build. Everything else is brand new in here. I just swapped out the memory and I'm still getting random reboots. Why is cpuid hardware monitor not showing my power supply specs like you have in the video? I do have a brand new power supply that I'm about to put in here.
weird that the software isn't showing the voltages, you could also try hwinfo64 that has a free version that should show it. or just try the new PSU and see what happens, either way good luck with it. these problems are infuriating
@mikesunboxing That's OK. Amoury crate shows it and so does Hardware info 64. I swapped out the 5 year old power supply out for new one. I was on it for close to 3 hours with Expo on @6000. No problems so far. All the voltages look very good with this power supply. I'm crossing my fingers.🤫
hello, hardware monitior app does NOT show the 3v , 5v or 12v like your you have at 10min and 20 sec of video. i did not find any way in setting or options to enable this. what did you do for this to appear? i currently own an HP Omen 30L with an amd ryzen 5 5600x cpu and rtx 3080 from nvidea thank you
I've been having this issue for a few days. I found out that my +3.3v is value min max is all sitting at 3.280v. I have a refurbished corsair power supplie that is 4 months old. do you think this could be the issue?
could be a loose connection creating resistance on the 3.3v rail, but it is a little low. It could also be the motherboard voltage regulation failing, but i would try the cables and a PSU swap first
hey i downloaded HWmonitor and im not getting the +12v +5v or any of those readings .. im getting CpuVcore Vin1- Vin18 and 3VCC AVCC .. ive been having this problem forever, took my cpu to geek squad and everything and still having the same problem.
@@mikesunboxing no soz mate was last one shop is closing😫 but I bought it to replace the 3400g I had in spare pc 😀 but I did see a 3300x at ccl in clearance section today for £150 And a 5600g for £185 Or awd it is doing a 10400f and msi b460 wifi mb combo for £209
this might be related to my pc problem where in the monitor suddenly turns off and the pc still working and the gpu fans are all maxed out. its actually weird because i can use my pc for straight 10 hrs and on the next day it keeps turning off the screen and maxed out all gpu fans. Then i opened the event viewer Fault code was there not just one but a bunch of them.
My Desktop PC used AMD Ryzen 5 3400G CPU and MSI B450 class motherboard. My PC recently keeps restarting randomly even in Safe mode, recovery screen mode etc. I have tried replacing PSU, swapping RAM slots, resetting bios using jumper etc. but not working. My friend said it is problem with motherboard itself. In Event viewer it showing critical events ID 41, bugcheckcode 0 - just before PC restarts. What can be the issue?
try plugging the PC in to a different outlet, it might be a socket issue, often that bugcheck is from PSU but as you have replaced that already it could be the power source it self or even the case power button or reset switch
@@mikesunboxing Done, but it is same issue. In one forum I read it is related to CPU hardware problem, the guy mentioned he replaced CPU and it worked fine. But my IT related friend say CPU don't fail like that they either work or completely dead. What is your take on it?
@@abhijitjuvekar yes ryzen CPUs and APUs are known to degrade over time, so yes very possible, and certainly worth investigating, if you can swap out and test with another CPU it might help with diagnosis
@@inirizky Replaced the motherboard, kind of downgraded now. Thing is older motherboard was B450 chipset now the new one is Gigabyte A520 chipset which said to be more compatible with my existing Ryzen 5 3400G CPU. The issue of the weird shutdown is resolved for now. So far new motherboard working fine.
Mine keeps restarting whenever I try to play warzone, it wont even let me in the main menu of the game, it straight up restarts after clicking the play button. I tried playing other games like overwatch and surprisingly i did not get any problems. I have 5600x btw. What do you think is the problem?
you only covered desktop setups in your video, what do you think it would be when this happens in a laptop? because it's very hard to manually replace parts in one since user intervention isn't expected in a mobile device
I tried to use the computer on battery only yesterday, but the error happened anyway as soon as I turned on the laptop the next day. So I don't really think it's the AC adapter or anything like that in my case

I experience this error too on my PC but it happens when its booting up or right after. Disabling fast startup in the power plan options settings does the fix for me. I only got this error twice while using my PC for a while in the span of three months and I use my PC on a daily basics so I think these two errors are “normal” like it happens in other PCs.

@@xThetomhawk It is not entirely fixed; I changed the RAM, and it ran smoothly for a month, but just a few days ago, this error reappeared; it was experiencing RAM problems. A repair shop representative said that the motherboard may not be capable of sustaining the frequency of the RAM. The PC runs smoothly on 1 RAM.
I had the same problem making me headache for weeks. Tried all solutions from forurm and youtube advice no luck. Ended up the cause is the power strip that is failing. Changed a new one then all problems gone. WTF.

I just reinstalled HWMonitor to watch the rail voltages that you'd referenced. My Code 41s have been very random and don't seem to have any rhyme or reason to them but the odd thing is that it mainly strikes when I'm NOT doing a lot, i.e. crashing just when I have Chrome going on, for example. I always have Folding @ Home running but I also have it running while I'm gaming, and it NEVER does an uncommanded restart with 41 while gaming. I also never get a BSOD, just an uncommanded restart. If I missed this...is there a range (upper or lower) on the rails where it might be worrisome? (i.e., +2 or -2, etc?) Thank you, sir! I had not thought of looking at that, so one more piece of info to add to the arsenal!
@@mikesunboxing - Okay. Good to know. So, even after only about 15 minutes of looking at this, the Max for the 12V and 5V rails are around half a volt higher. In your opinion, would that be a PSU issue or a VRM issue? Or...both...? Thank you sir!
@@Tigerhawk30 Could be either, difficult to tell. Shouldn't really be more than 0.2/0.3 fluctuations. If it's doing it on every voltage it's more than likely going to be the motherboard not regulating the voltage correctly, but that's just guessing...
@@mikesunboxing - And that makes sense, actually. Both 12V and 5V rails have hit max at .5V above. I've been wondering if the VRMs have had issues. The 3.3V rail is holding pretty much right at where it should be. Understand that this is opinion and not hard fact, but I very much appreciate the insight. This is more info than what I've previously been able to find beforehand. Thank you sir, very much! I once again highly appreciate the insight!
So, just for an update and potential future reference for any future videos you might make on this subject...I finally found and fixed my issue with this. Turns out that I'd neglected to set the BIOS-level FCLK to the same frequency as I have my RAM set at (3200); I manually set my FCLK to 1600 off of Auto and no further Kernel 41 shutdowns for roughly a week. Just spreading the knowledge. Have a great day!
Hey mike so I ran HWMonitor cause i am having Event 41 happening to me, My 12V stays around 12.09, 3.3V around 3.16 lows 3.10, but my 5V goes as low as 4.68 max 4.72V. Do you think my 5V is too low.
I did what u showed and noticed that my 12V voltage is staying on 9.9V, could that be my problem for completly random crashes, if so whats most likely my problem
I'm having this problem right now. It crashes when I play most games, and frustratingly enough, these are lower-specced games. So shouldn''t break the GPU but so it happens they're shutting the machine down. Other than that the machine works normally. Should I start with the PSU or do I need to check out the GPU first?
Hello Mike, Would appreciate your input. Does having 12.096 as MAX and 11.808 on MIN on the 12V indicate some sort of PSU issue? Just assembled a brand new system with a 5 year old PSU..
Hi guys hope you see this and this is the way it solved the problem go to control panel in nvidea------> 3d settings ------> set power management mode to maximum performance this will ensure that the fans will spin on the card continuously without it deciding when to turn on the fans this solved the kernal 41 error for me
Hi Mike, i'm struggling with crashes but no BSOD (Just suddenly restarts), or BSOD errors (Particulary error 124) only during play games. PC crashes after 1-2 hours of play. I have overclock on, and it worked well for 3 years, until now... If i disable overclock, there are no problems. I read somewhere that "error 124" can be caused by low vcore, but i try to change it multiple times with no results... I found your video and i try to check 12v, 3.3v and 5v on HWMonitor. Stats are: - +12v min 11.877v, max 11.933v (A couple of times min was at 11.756v) - +3.3v min 3245v, max 3280v - +5v min 4896v, max 4944v I tried to change cables, nothing has changed. Is my PSU gone? Hopefully you can help me. Thank you.
sounds like the overclock might have degraded the CPU a little and psu is a little on the low side and really should be rock steady solid on the voltages. any fluctuation could be either failure or poor psu design. maybe even a bad surge protector strip if you use one
@@mikesunboxing Thanks for reply. I appreciate it. 😃 I really can't understand what's the problem. For example, yesterday, i left my pc running "No man's Sky" for 4 hours, and nothing happend. The day before instead, pc is crashed after 30 minutes on "Rocket League". In this case, no BSOD, just crashed and auto restart. Temperatures are ok. And yes, i'm using a surge protector strip. It the only thing left to try to change. Many thanks.
Totally frustrated. I've done everything and it still gives me problems. THE PSU is new 750 watts. I have an evga 3070ti Ultra XC3. I only get reboots when I'm on Google, RUclips, Discord, etc. Not while I play. That's if I changed the GPU for a Readeon 6600xt and the problem stopped happening. But what I don't understand is that the gpu works fine while I play. Does anyone else have this happen to them?
Can a motherboard also cause this? i’ve been having this problem for a few days now, ive already used ddu to reinstall and unistall drivers and it didnt work, (im using a ryzen 7 5700g) or can an ssd also cause this?

Whenever trying to play mostly any game on my PC, regardless of specs requirements, whenever I get into a match my pc crashes and auto-restarts. Decided to check my HWMonitor motherboard voltages and got these results: +12V Min 11.986 / Max 12.038 +5V Min 4.776 / Max 4.896 +3.3V Min 3.248 / Max 3.296 Out of all of these measurements I conclude that the 5V rail is a bit under the norm, but is this a big enough deviation to cause concern? I've tested nearly every possible thing under the sun, and the PSU seems to be the only possible problem left... Update: After launching Apex Legends (which usually crashes on match start), It miraculously didn't crash mid match while having HWMonitor open on my 2nd monitor, which got me these results: +12V Min 11.510 / Max 12.038 +5V Min 4.536 / Max 4.896 +3.3V Min 3.008 / Max 3.312 Specs: ASUS B450 Steel Legend Inno3D HerculeZ GTX 1080Ti (Stock, Watercooled) AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (Stock, Watercooled) Corsair Ballistix 16x2 (XMP 2.0) Forgot PSU brand, but remember it being reputable and 1000W 80+ Platinum Samsung SSD 970 EVO 250GB (Boot drive, trimmed and in good health) Seagate Barracuda 3TB (Main storage drive, defragmented and in fair/decent health)
So i have this error displayed in event viewer but my laptop never gets bluescreen or anything like that should i send it to get checked or i should nt be concerned about it? Thanks in advance :?
I was having the same issue with the Power Supply and the funny thing is you don't even need any power supply tester or try to troubleshoot like a maniac like I did, I changed it and no more random reboots or powering on off 100% GPU Fan Speeds or CPU Led error with black screen and stuff like that. I wondered how many years I have to change my PSU after swapping and refitting cables and I had a long time to do that and that triggered me that I need to change it. Also I noticed in my case that HWInfo doesn't report any abnormalities with rails (3.3v 5v 12v) so I think in my case my PSU (Corsair RM750X 2018) after 4 years of use must be dodgy, and to see the actual results you probably need a multimeter and I think it's kinda pointless because the only part is doing these kind of things is a faulty PSU anyway. Kernel Power 41 (63) doesn't mean anything it's just reports on Windows Event Viewer that the Computer shuts down unexpectedly but since my problem fixed after I changed the PSU with the same brand and model but brand new I didn't have any problems ever again. My specs: Corsair RM750X (2018) (Replaced with the same model but different part number) MSI B450 Tomahawk Max II (New) (Almost 3 months of use) (Replaced the first Tomahawk Max) AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (Undervolted via Offset -0.500mv) Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo (New) (Almost 3 months of use) GSkill Ripjaws V 16GB CL16 3200MHZ DDR4 (F4-3200C16D-16GVKB) (Using XMP 3200MHZ already) ASUS Rog Strix 2070 Super Advanced Samsung SSD 960 EVO 1TB Silicon Power Armor A80 USB 3.2 External HDD 1TB Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD 3.5" SATA III 7200rpm (ST1000DM010) Cooler Master Masterbox K501L + 1 Original Exhaust Fan at the back (New) (Almost 3 months of use) BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 5x Fans (2 Intakes Front + 3 Exhaust Top Fans) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 21H2 (2021) (Reformatted after 1809) Edit: I thought it was my GPU at first was failing and I tested with a spare MSI Geforce GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X and it did the same thing, before I replaced my PSU and that also got me thinking that was my PSU was failing. Edit 2: I did some sort of tests like Stress tests with OCCT and RealBench and I didn't had any problems but after I fired up Superposition Benchmark at 8K Optimized and Play some Watch Dogs Legion that did some workout out of my system doing some random lockups here and there so there's that. Thank you for your guidance and keep up the good videos Sir
I have a brand new Dell XPS desktop. The power supply is running perfectly. I have a plethora of people woking on why it’s crashing to no avail. I did have Dell replace my processor and I updated the bios with the fix for the Raptor Lake bug, but I’m still getting blue screens. Hopefully it will be figured out. If not I am under a warranty and will have Dell take it back and refund my money.
1. My PC is getting freeze but CPU is running but no display and sometime 2. Completely getting shutdown and when we observe event log it is "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. " with Event 41 , kernel -power ' 3. I have replaced Ram but no luck Do think PSU buying & replacing will help me
@@mikesunboxing I have checked using HWMonitor and found that 12v, 3.3v ,5v 1.2 for Ram are consistent . When when restart will happen, HWmonitor app will record if there voltage is dipping ? and next time when I on Pc it will reflect

meanwhile i just had issue whenever i connect my internet router to the pc, i can still play games on my pc without issue, but while i'm surfing internet and streaming film or doing college assignment, it rebooted and same problem notification, kernel 41. i wonder what is wrong here
My PC rarely crashes kernel power 41. But strangely majority of those happen in the middle of playing a 3d game. Any idea of what may be causing that? Could be the power supply is too little?
Just reformat it to make sure not the software. But after format i scan it using cmd and it fix corrupted files? Im getting bluescreen even after reformat when playing heavy games. Please help me fix my msi laptop i7-11800H RTX3070 16gb ram. I tried everything. How to fix please?😥

yea, just got a new refurbished pc and every couple weeks it will shut down and give the kernel-41 error. most likely going to check if the psu is faulty but it only really happens once every couple weeks
I’ve tried every software fix, other than completely fresh install windows. Without going the reinstall of windows. Should I just chuck the parts and build a new cpu/mobo/psu/ram/m.2 highly unlikely GPU failing.

Hmm I have the kernel 41 error in HWMonitor my 3.3V is not displayed. It is always around 0.0V is this measurement error? How can I fix this. Power supply is a 850 Watt be quiet!

this recently started happening to me whenever i try to play a game for than a minute. i just ordered 1000w psu to replace my 850w one in hopes that this could be the solution
I’ve had an awful time with this error, I recently upgraded to a ryzen 7 5800x using my same motherboard,ram, power supply, and graphics card. Oddly enough this only pops up when launching certain games. The only change I made other than the processor itself was updating my bios to support ryzen 5000. Any ideas?
@@mikesunboxing will give it a shot when I can! Could this potentially be related to running a 5800x with a 3070 as well with a 650 watt Corsair power supply? I know I’m getting ahead of myself but it’s just driving me crazy!
I had a similar issue with one of my computer as the screen would go black while watching videos and needed a hard reset to restart the computer. I turned xmp off to see if it improved but at the end, I changed the psu and it fixed the problem. That was a 10 yo evga psu.
10 years is a long time to keep a psu, evga has a warranty of 10 years for there psu, i recently brought a new evga psu and it also fixed the problem i was having.
Try deleting your boot partition off D: when you assumed it was on C: the SSD you installed it on, when the windows directory was on your SSD C: - not an easy task to solve, but a few hail mary's later I managed it.

i'm getting the kernel 41 error on my win 11 laptop. it doesn't seem to shut down completely. it boots up then crashes. i don't know what is causing the error but i've had so many issues with win 11 22h2, and this pc isn't even a year old.
@@mikesunboxing Thank you. I could be wrong but I suspect this issue I am having is related to a bios update. Months ago, after a successful bios update, the kernel power 41 error occurred, then went away. After another recent bios update, it is back, occurring on and off. The machine is still under warranty, but I don't want to replace it, as I need it for school.

I fixed it by simply cleaning my PC. My gpu (GTX 970) was running very hot with "gpu hotspot" nearing 95+ degrees C on not so graphically demanding games (FFXIV). Found out that there was "hard dust" accumulating on the GPU heatsink. This was most definitely the culprit.
So i just got a combo 7800x3d, b650m with super leadex iii 850W, and im having this exact problem as soon as i set up the pc (no OC, nothing) The PC just slowly lose responsiveness, some button cant be clicked, cant hot key, then freeze, and reboot Been digging the net and found some folks in AMD forum had this problem with the 7800x3d as well, they rma-ed the cpu and its solved, so now i suspect its faulty CPU technician
this started happening a few months ago an stops for a long time before its starts again pc just restarts an i get its kernel power 41 error bad psu or faulty switch or short?
@@mikesunboxing i reinstall the ram an all seems to be working fine, or so i thought, played cod warzone 3 hours straight no issues, elden ring tho my pc restarts again

I have 0.880 V difference on + 12V can it be problem with my PSU? im struggling to find out whats going on with my pc. Bluescreen when i play something what needs more resource. I did fresh install on windows, updated all drivers, Changed SSD. But can play csgo somehow lol.
My PC randomly disconnects, the video goes off and the fans keep spinning and the whole computer is like frozen, no video, keyboard doesn't respond the cap key stay on and can't turn off, the only way to turn off the computer is by holding the power button till it turn off and then turn it on again. The weird thing about this problem is that it happens very random, sometimes 10 times a day, sometimes once a week, and at some point it didn't happen for 2 months, so idk what to buy, my power supply is an EVG 650w 80 Gold, my PC doesn't have a graphics card it uses Integrated graphics, so the power supply is more than enough, voltages looks good, I tested with a multimeter, it's not a windows problem, cause it also happens when I'm in the BIOS and in safe mode, it has to be hardware related, at this point I feel it could be the motherboard or the PSU but I'm not sure :/

I only seem to get this random crash when watching Netflix, my PC is basically brand new and full loaded. My critical errors 41 kernal have only been when watching Netflix and randomly getting a black screen and a display port disconnect with my GPU... I just don't know what would be causing this when I can play games and watch other stuff with ease.
Having an issue with my PC. After a couple of hours gaming I'm experience a black screen but I can still hear the audio from discord and the game I'm playing. I have to hard reset the pc and the pc boots fine afterwards. I've ran memory tests and other benchmarks to stress the pc and it appears the black screen is totally random I'm running a 3070, 9700k, 16gb ddr4, 2tb nvme, 128gb nvme and 1tb HDD. I do have this running on a 650w psu which I've had for some years now so I'm thinking this could be the cause. I do have a 1000w PSU on the way so I'm gonna try this.
@@mikesunboxing I monitored the voltages for quite some time during a stress test and they voltages seem fine. The pc did however shutdown and restart while I was playing warzone. The PSU fan was also very loud so this gives me reason to believe the PSU is the culprit. When I checked in event viewer I seen kernel power 41 error message. Thanks

As an ex IT professional I really found this video to be really excellent. But all us IT professional do is order up a load of parts and change out parts in a server/pc until it started working again. This fault finding is on another level! Well done Mike.
thanks paul i appreciate that a lot
You are a professional parts changer lol
A very big 'thank you' to Mike for this video. For ages I had been suffering crashes and WHEA errors. Thinking this was a hardware problem, I replaced the boot drive, memory, motherboard and finally the PSU, all to no avail. Checking the PSU output voltages never occurred to me until I watched this. Only then did I notice that the 3.3v output was sometimes dropping as low as 2.8v. Turned out that it wasn't even the PSU that was faulty - simply the motherboard cable, which wasn't properly seated in the PSU. I can only assume I must have dislodged it slightly when opening the case. I fixed that, the voltage stabilised at 3.312v to 3.328v, and the machine has been running perfectly ever since. Much to my relief!
Now, if I ever get a similar issue again, the first thing I will check is the PSU. Thanks again, Mike!
glad it helped, i have been in a similar place myself
@@mikesunboxing So PSU died damn i just upgraded fromm a 850w to 1000w

I've tried bunch of troubleshooting tips and the problem still persist
until I found this video, I immediately check my psu current power and it turned out my +12v is running between 12.600-12.768
replacing the cables and psu power port fix this problem and now it running stable at 12.220-12.340.
again, thanks for this helpful guide Mike !
Thanks for the feedback, it is really nice to know that people get genuine value from the videos we make here on RUclips
i had this problem for over 1 month, i continuously had strange PC resets/turn off, and it was at random times, sometimes it would reset, and in 2-3 seconds it would reset again over and over just when windows start up, it was randomly, i was going to format my whole pc, but instead i was guessing this could be a PSU problem, i brought a new PSU and it solve the problem, for me it was my PSU it was dying due to old age, I'm just happy i got it all sorted out.

Interesting topic and something to keep in mind with my multiple pc setups as I’ve had the error before and not found consistent information about it 🤔. Great work Mike 👍😉
thanks Michael
You have no idea what wonders you did when you posted this video. Finally found the issue with my! 5v is under 4.760 consistent.
glad the tips were useful, it is a good and easy way to start diagnosing a system, before you start digging around in software and expensive hardware
Thanks, mine were one second apart, so it was a snap to identify the correct cause of my crashes. In my case it was a missing TPM 2.0 security driver in Win10 HM 22H2 that kept triggering the event. Would always fail a GPU stress test within 10 seconds. No more though! I thought for SURE it had to have something to do with graphics, so this video saved me a bundle in an unnecessary GC replacement.
glad it helped
Very interesting topic Mike. Since upgrading to win11 and using amazon prime video my pc keeps freezing mid eoisode. The buttons respond to key presses but dont activate. Say oress win key get menu then no response. Even selecting shut down pc goes into cycle but never cometes. Always requires hard shutdown. I was thinking of buying a psu tester (think i mdntioned it in live stream) as my 12v is showing 10.4v in HWMonitor. The psu is an AeroCool Integrator, bought new last jan, so now after this video I am undecided. Plays games , streams bflix movies no issue. Just this prime video app which you said can have a high draw on power. Thanks for saving me the embarassment of buying a tester lol Stay safe Mike and Kath👍

I also have the issue. The problem is i tried almost everything. My pc just turn off.. 3 sec and turn on. Reboot can happend in idle/gaming whatever even in BIOS or memtest86 i experienced random restart so...
it just happend like 1 time a week, 3 times a day, 2 times a month just random.
Things i tried (nothing helps):
- reconnect psu cables
- tested my RAM with memtest86 (everything is fine, but got at 1st attempt reboot)
- tried other PSU (same error)
- RMA my PSU (got new one lol, but still nothing even its new)
- RMA my MOBO (asus service told me that motherboard is fine without any issues)
- Updated every drives (nothing helps)
- BIOS Update
- turn off/on xmp (same error)
- tried other power socket in home and my friend home (problem still occurs)
- tried different settings in bios acpi_cst c1 declaration disabled (still kernel power)
- gave my ram to my friend PC with 5800x, b550 gigabyte aero, 3070 gigabyte and they runs without any problems on xmp 3600mhz
-gave my GPU to friend PC and its also working without problems
- bought another mobo b550 to test and it happend like 3 min after first boot and went to BIOS and poof my PC reboot in bios on brand new mobo so my x570 as asus service said is fine i guess
Now i'm waiting for decission from AMD cuz i RMA my cpu... hope it is cpu problem cuz i'm fighting with it like 1 year

Hey so I fixed my issue due one of the comments here. I had literally replaced almost every component and it was still happening. Combination of x570 and 5000 series seems the mobos don't handle voltage control well. I had literally tested every thing imaginable and it was still doing it down to individual cables. Only thing that worked was setting a 80milivolt offset voltage. Huge thanks to whoever said it but can't find the comment to thank them
was that an undervolt or overvolt

i am just going to say it, you sir are a FUCKING ROCK STAR. I have been having issues since about 2021 (i know, i know) and after watching your video i finally decided to rip my pc apart plug by plug and reinsert them all, and there it was......a 6 pin PSU on my power supply had so much tension on it that is was slightly cocked, which tells me it wasn't getting enough power. I cut the zip ties that were holding all my cables and realized the amount of tension on them was unreal. I plugged it back in flush, put everything back together and I haven't had ONE crash in 2 going on 3 days now, my pc hasn't EVER run this well, I thought i was just victim to bad parts. I did have to reoverclock the whole system now that it was having the proper power coming in now. Thank you VERY much sir.
that is a very nice thing to hear, i love it when a video is genuinely helpful, makes it all worth while
I'm just now struggling with same issue of kernel power. Changed, psu, ram, fresh system. Amount of crashes dropped but still happening. So to check if mobo is faulty there is no an easy way. Actually in this case even replacing needs couple weeks of testing. As kernel power occurs randomly.
check all the power cables are firmly connected and the voltages are stable
Thanks, @@mikesunboxing just checked literally all, especially pci and 12v to mobo. Your idea to check voltage via Hvmonitor was very usefull. In my case its stable so far.
Move i've done now was to change voltage on ram to 1.38. Maybe that would do. Also, its 5800x3d, they're a bit unstable imo.

Hello Mike. This is perfect timing. This is the exact problem and error message I'm having with my new AM5 7700X on a Asus rog strix B650-A gaming wifi I've been telling you about. When I enable Expo, I get random reboots with no blue screen message. Unfortunately Cpuid Hardware monitor does not show a thing about my power supply like what you have in the video. I even downloaded the version of cpuid hardware monitor you have and it still shows nothing about my power supply voltages that I can see. My corsair power supply is 5 years old in this new build. Everything else is brand new in here. I just swapped out the memory and I'm still getting random reboots. Why is cpuid hardware monitor not showing my power supply specs like you have in the video? I do have a brand new power supply that I'm about to put in here.
weird that the software isn't showing the voltages, you could also try hwinfo64 that has a free version that should show it. or just try the new PSU and see what happens, either way good luck with it. these problems are infuriating
@mikesunboxing That's OK. Amoury crate shows it and so does Hardware info 64. I swapped out the 5 year old power supply out for new one. I was on it for close to 3 hours with Expo on @6000. No problems so far. All the voltages look very good with this power supply. I'm crossing my fingers.🤫
hello, hardware monitior app does NOT show the 3v , 5v or 12v like your you have at 10min and 20 sec of video. i did not find any way in setting or options to enable this. what did you do for this to appear? i currently own an HP Omen 30L with an amd ryzen 5 5600x cpu and rtx 3080 from nvidea
thank you
some motherboards don't report it, i would guess the HP board is one of the ones that doesn't
@@mikesunboxing how would i go about getting the info other than going into the bios ? i still need to use the PC
I've been having this issue for a few days. I found out that my +3.3v is value min max is all sitting at 3.280v. I have a refurbished corsair power supplie that is 4 months old. do you think this could be the issue?
could be a loose connection creating resistance on the 3.3v rail, but it is a little low. It could also be the motherboard voltage regulation failing, but i would try the cables and a PSU swap first
If it's not the power supply should next thing to look at is the motherboard?
depends on what other things are getting thrown up in the event logs, but drivers or motherboard might be worth investigating
hey i downloaded HWmonitor and im not getting the +12v +5v or any of those readings .. im getting CpuVcore Vin1- Vin18 and 3VCC AVCC .. ive been having this problem forever, took my cpu to geek squad and everything and still having the same problem.
try hwinfo 64 instead maybe?
@@mikesunboxing i believe that's the one I installed
hello mike does undervolting cause kernel 41???? i've set all core curve optimizer magnitude to negative 30
yes very likely, try increasing the voltage and see if the problem is still there
it worked thanks
Thanks Mike. So, did you change your PSU?
Yes I did, and today i ended up changing my motherboard, and slicing my thumb open with a stanley knife. Today was a bad day
Another top video nice one Mike 🙂 I am a happy man today I managed to find a brand new ryzen 3600 yesterday for only 145 at a local pc store 🥳
Nice work! they got any more? that is cheaper than the used prices at CEX
@@mikesunboxing no soz mate was last one shop is closing😫 but I bought it to replace the 3400g I had in spare pc 😀
but I did see a 3300x at ccl in clearance section today for £150
And a 5600g for £185
Or awd it is doing a 10400f and msi b460 wifi mb combo for £209
this might be related to my pc problem where in the monitor suddenly turns off and the pc still working and the gpu fans are all maxed out. its actually weird because i can use my pc for straight 10 hrs and on the next day it keeps turning off the screen and maxed out all gpu fans. Then i opened the event viewer Fault code was there not just one but a bunch of them.
My Desktop PC used AMD Ryzen 5 3400G CPU and MSI B450 class motherboard. My PC recently keeps restarting randomly even in Safe mode, recovery screen mode etc. I have tried replacing PSU, swapping RAM slots, resetting bios using jumper etc. but not working. My friend said it is problem with motherboard itself.
In Event viewer it showing critical events ID 41, bugcheckcode 0 - just before PC restarts.
What can be the issue?
try plugging the PC in to a different outlet, it might be a socket issue, often that bugcheck is from PSU but as you have replaced that already it could be the power source it self or even the case power button or reset switch
@@mikesunboxing Done, but it is same issue. In one forum I read it is related to CPU hardware problem, the guy mentioned he replaced CPU and it worked fine. But my IT related friend say CPU don't fail like that they either work or completely dead. What is your take on it?
@@abhijitjuvekar yes ryzen CPUs and APUs are known to degrade over time, so yes very possible, and certainly worth investigating, if you can swap out and test with another CPU it might help with diagnosis
@@abhijitjuvekar hi, how about your pc now?
@@inirizky Replaced the motherboard, kind of downgraded now. Thing is older motherboard was B450 chipset now the new one is Gigabyte A520 chipset which said to be more compatible with my existing Ryzen 5 3400G CPU. The issue of the weird shutdown is resolved for now. So far new motherboard working fine.
Mostly going to be hardware, mine was motherboard PCIe port power issue, gpu was not firmly placing in.
Mine keeps restarting whenever I try to play warzone, it wont even let me in the main menu of the game, it straight up restarts after clicking the play button. I tried playing other games like overwatch and surprisingly i did not get any problems. I have 5600x btw.
What do you think is the problem?
sounds like a software issue to me
you only covered desktop setups in your video, what do you think it would be when this happens in a laptop? because it's very hard to manually replace parts in one since user intervention isn't expected in a mobile device
The same principle applies for a laptop and arguably the power supply is easier to change with a laptop, although less likely to be a problem
I tried to use the computer on battery only yesterday, but the error happened anyway as soon as I turned on the laptop the next day.
So I don't really think it's the AC adapter or anything like that in my case

@@xThetomhawk It is not entirely fixed; I changed the RAM, and it ran smoothly for a month, but just a few days ago, this error reappeared; it was experiencing RAM problems. A repair shop representative said that the motherboard may not be capable of sustaining the frequency of the RAM. The PC runs smoothly on 1 RAM.
I had the same problem making me headache for weeks. Tried all solutions from forurm and youtube advice no luck. Ended up the cause is the power strip that is failing. Changed a new one then all problems gone. WTF.
pc's are very sensitive to power delivery
Idk how to fix it but my pc just black screens to death and pc fans start to rev to max and when I check vent viewer I get this message happens usually when I play a game or something tried different outlets still didn’t work if anybody has this issue please help me fix it
check the PSU voltages if you can, if windows wont let you, try looking in the bios for the hardware monitoring
I just reinstalled HWMonitor to watch the rail voltages that you'd referenced. My Code 41s have been very random and don't seem to have any rhyme or reason to them but the odd thing is that it mainly strikes when I'm NOT doing a lot, i.e. crashing just when I have Chrome going on, for example. I always have Folding @ Home running but I also have it running while I'm gaming, and it NEVER does an uncommanded restart with 41 while gaming. I also never get a BSOD, just an uncommanded restart.
If I missed this...is there a range (upper or lower) on the rails where it might be worrisome? (i.e., +2 or -2, etc?)
Thank you, sir! I had not thought of looking at that, so one more piece of info to add to the arsenal!
yes the voltage should remain stable at the default voltages and any changes getting towards half a volt are not ideal
@@mikesunboxing - Okay. Good to know.
So, even after only about 15 minutes of looking at this, the Max for the 12V and 5V rails are around half a volt higher. In your opinion, would that be a PSU issue or a VRM issue? Or...both...?
Thank you sir!
@@Tigerhawk30 Could be either, difficult to tell. Shouldn't really be more than 0.2/0.3 fluctuations. If it's doing it on every voltage it's more than likely going to be the motherboard not regulating the voltage correctly, but that's just guessing...
@@mikesunboxing - And that makes sense, actually. Both 12V and 5V rails have hit max at .5V above. I've been wondering if the VRMs have had issues. The 3.3V rail is holding pretty much right at where it should be.
Understand that this is opinion and not hard fact, but I very much appreciate the insight. This is more info than what I've previously been able to find beforehand.
Thank you sir, very much! I once again highly appreciate the insight!
So, just for an update and potential future reference for any future videos you might make on this subject...I finally found and fixed my issue with this.
Turns out that I'd neglected to set the BIOS-level FCLK to the same frequency as I have my RAM set at (3200); I manually set my FCLK to 1600 off of Auto and no further Kernel 41 shutdowns for roughly a week.
Just spreading the knowledge. Have a great day!
Hey mike so I ran HWMonitor cause i am having Event 41 happening to me, My 12V stays around 12.09, 3.3V around 3.16 lows 3.10, but my 5V goes as low as 4.68 max 4.72V. Do you think my 5V is too low.
yes check all cables are firmly attached and especially the PSU end of modular cables
I did what u showed and noticed that my 12V voltage is staying on 9.9V, could that be my problem for completly random crashes, if so whats most likely my problem
yes that is waaaaay too low
I'm having this problem right now. It crashes when I play most games, and frustratingly enough, these are lower-specced games. So shouldn''t break the GPU but so it happens they're shutting the machine down. Other than that the machine works normally. Should I start with the PSU or do I need to check out the GPU first?
check with PSU voltages first, then maybe the power cable and surge strip if you have one
Hello Mike, Would appreciate your input.
Does having 12.096 as MAX and 11.808 on MIN on the 12V indicate some sort of PSU issue? Just assembled a brand new system with a 5 year old PSU..
that is okay but if it dips too much lower might be time to look at a upgrade / replacement
Hi guys hope you see this and this is the way it solved the problem
go to control panel in nvidea------> 3d settings ------> set power management mode to maximum performance
this will ensure that the fans will spin on the card continuously without it deciding when to turn on the fans
this solved the kernal 41 error for me
that is interesting, but suggests that the fan ramp up is drawing too much current to trip the PSU
Hi Mike, i'm struggling with crashes but no BSOD (Just suddenly restarts), or BSOD errors (Particulary error 124) only during play games. PC crashes after 1-2 hours of play. I have overclock on, and it worked well for 3 years, until now... If i disable overclock, there are no problems. I read somewhere that "error 124" can be caused by low vcore, but i try to change it multiple times with no results...
I found your video and i try to check 12v, 3.3v and 5v on HWMonitor.
Stats are:
- +12v min 11.877v, max 11.933v (A couple of times min was at 11.756v)
- +3.3v min 3245v, max 3280v
- +5v min 4896v, max 4944v
I tried to change cables, nothing has changed.
Is my PSU gone?
Hopefully you can help me. Thank you.
sounds like the overclock might have degraded the CPU a little and psu is a little on the low side and really should be rock steady solid on the voltages. any fluctuation could be either failure or poor psu design. maybe even a bad surge protector strip if you use one
@@mikesunboxing
Thanks for reply. I appreciate it. 😃
I really can't understand what's the problem.
For example, yesterday, i left my pc running "No man's Sky" for 4 hours, and nothing happend.
The day before instead, pc is crashed after 30 minutes on "Rocket League". In this case, no BSOD, just crashed and auto restart.
Temperatures are ok.
And yes, i'm using a surge protector strip. It the only thing left to try to change.
Many thanks.
i fixed my "Kernel 41 63" with only change the HDMI cable slot on GPU and Monitor. it fixed those stupid shit.

Totally frustrated. I've done everything and it still gives me problems. THE PSU is new 750 watts. I have an evga 3070ti Ultra XC3. I only get reboots when I'm on Google, RUclips, Discord, etc. Not while I play. That's if I changed the GPU for a Readeon 6600xt and the problem stopped happening. But what I don't understand is that the gpu works fine while I play. Does anyone else have this happen to them?

Whenever trying to play mostly any game on my PC, regardless of specs requirements, whenever I get into a match my pc crashes and auto-restarts. Decided to check my HWMonitor motherboard voltages and got these results:

+5V Min 4.776 / Max 4.896
+3.3V Min 3.248 / Max 3.296
Out of all of these measurements I conclude that the 5V rail is a bit under the norm, but is this a big enough deviation to cause concern? I've tested nearly every possible thing under the sun, and the PSU seems to be the only possible problem left...
Update: After launching Apex Legends (which usually crashes on match start), It miraculously didn't crash mid match while having HWMonitor open on my 2nd monitor, which got me these results:

I was having the same issue with the Power Supply and the funny thing is you don't even need any power supply tester or try to troubleshoot like a maniac like I did, I changed it and no more random reboots or powering on off 100% GPU Fan Speeds or CPU Led error with black screen and stuff like that.
I wondered how many years I have to change my PSU after swapping and refitting cables and I had a long time to do that and that triggered me that I need to change it.
Also I noticed in my case that HWInfo doesn't report any abnormalities with rails (3.3v 5v 12v) so I think in my case my PSU (Corsair RM750X 2018) after 4 years of use must be dodgy, and to see the actual results you probably need a multimeter and I think it's kinda pointless because the only part is doing these kind of things is a faulty PSU anyway.
Kernel Power 41 (63) doesn't mean anything it's just reports on Windows Event Viewer that the Computer shuts down unexpectedly but since my problem fixed after I changed the PSU with the same brand and model but brand new I didn't have any problems ever again.

Edit: I thought it was my GPU at first was failing and I tested with a spare MSI Geforce GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X and it did the same thing, before I replaced my PSU and that also got me thinking that was my PSU was failing.
Edit 2: I did some sort of tests like Stress tests with OCCT and RealBench and I didn't had any problems but after I fired up Superposition Benchmark at 8K Optimized and Play some Watch Dogs Legion that did some workout out of my system doing some random lockups here and there so there's that.

Hmm I have the kernel 41 error in HWMonitor my 3.3V is not displayed.
It is always around 0.0V is this measurement error? How can I fix this.
Power supply is a 850 Watt be quiet! Pure Power 12 M Modular 80+ Gold
PC is build early this year :(
CPU:
AMD Ryzen 5 7500F 6x 3.70GHz So.AM5
Mainboard: MSI MAG Tomahawk WIFI AMD B650 So.AM5 DDR5 ATX
RAM Crucial Pro DDR5 RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) 5600MHz
GPU 16GB Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER JetStream
might be worth buying a cheap PSU tester and see if the voltage is low on that as well
this recently started happening to me whenever i try to play a game for than a minute. i just ordered 1000w psu to replace my 850w one in hopes that this could be the solution
was it the solution?
@@ChuckValorant unfortunately not. i ended replacing my gpu and i have not had a single error since
I’ve had an awful time with this error, I recently upgraded to a ryzen 7 5800x using my same motherboard,ram, power supply, and graphics card. Oddly enough this only pops up when launching certain games. The only change I made other than the processor itself was updating my bios to support ryzen 5000. Any ideas?
try DDU the audio and graphics drivers
@@mikesunboxing will give it a shot when I can! Could this potentially be related to running a 5800x with a 3070 as well with a 650 watt Corsair power supply? I know I’m getting ahead of myself but it’s just driving me crazy!
@@kyleciborowski could be but i doubt it, i am running 3060ti with 5800x and a ton or rgb with a 500w gold rated coolermaster PSU
@@mikesunboxing was able to resolve my issue by updating to a beta bios with an updated version of agesa
@@kyleciborowski Glad you managed to fix it 🙂
I had a similar issue with one of my computer as the screen would go black while watching videos and needed a hard reset to restart the computer. I turned xmp off to see if it improved but at the end, I changed the psu and it fixed the problem. That was a 10 yo evga psu.
PSU problems are easily overlooked
10 years is a long time to keep a psu, evga has a warranty of 10 years for there psu, i recently brought a new evga psu and it also fixed the problem i was having.
Try deleting your boot partition off D: when you assumed it was on C: the SSD you installed it on, when the windows directory was on your SSD C: - not an easy task to solve, but a few hail mary's later I managed it.
nice work
Why this thing is not occuring when Im on safe mode?
safe mode doesn't try to load device drivers
Can you help me to find my problem whit this eror becouse is wierd pc is on floor not far away from foots after add one more monitor and putiing it on floor first time i hit not hard but pc crashed and pictures on two monitors stuck after while its restarted and this happen 3 time in 2 weeks, Maybe its Sdd?

Do I have a faulty PSU when I got 12V is at 11.712 , 5V is at 4.770 min, 3.3V is at 3.104 min?
yes those are a little low and could cause crashing or BSOD
hey @@mikesunboxing, I think its my cable sleeves extensions. I removed them and I got 11.976min on the 12V, 5.070min on the 5V and 3.335min on the 3.3v.. Thanks for the help!
just watching this video my +5v is on 4.88, 3.3v is on 3.24v an +12v on 11.904v psu is evga 400w 80+ bronze almost 6 years since i bought, it new psu needed?
5v seems very low
@@mikesunboxing ye I'll upgrade psu Mobo an cpu soon most likely Intel 11th gen amd too expensive
hey man, ive checked my Voltages nothing is moving i have a corsair 850x RM Pro, idk what going on ive replaced the Motherboard thinking it was causing it still getting the same issue ive tried to unistall drivers, ive tried to re apply thermal paste ive reseated every cord including all my HD Audio and my PSU cables on the back of the PSU ive reseated every component, Specs:
i9 10900k
4060TI 12gbs
64Gbs DDR4 ram
1 TB M.2
1TB External SSD
Artic Pro II Liquid Freezer 120
ive been trying to fix it for months im about to rip my hair out, my temps are fine
but whenever im playing either GTA or Fortnite it just straight crashes without and warning all i hear is a click when it shuts off then it reboots sometimes it comes in a cycle of 2 so it will shut off then reboot, shut off then reeboot then i can just launch windows. please help me ive never overclocked anything ive looked in bios for any kind of overclocked settings that might of turned on somehow ive checked all my drivers, one thing to note is when i try to reset my PC to see if that fixes it, it gives me a Error saying We cant reset this pc, ive heard it was a Corruption to win32 files, but guess what.... ive tried to repair them NOT EXRAGTTING(cant spell) 23 times ive counted so idk what to do i might need to buy a new PC ive dumped so much money into this shit hole for it not to even work
there are many things that could be causing this, i would start with installing the intel driver updater and see if there are any key drivers that need updating
okay any drivers spec driver i should be looking for

i'm getting the kernel 41 error on my win 11 laptop. it doesn't seem to shut down completely. it boots up then crashes. i don't know what is causing the error but i've had so many issues with win 11 22h2, and this pc isn't even a year old.
if you can get on our discord and post some of the event logs we could take a look, you might need to go in via safemode though
@@mikesunboxing Thank you. I could be wrong but I suspect this issue I am having is related to a bios update. Months ago, after a successful bios update, the kernel power 41 error occurred, then went away. After another recent bios update, it is back, occurring on and off. The machine is still under warranty, but I don't want to replace it, as I need it for school.

i recently bought a psu in the market place (i know i shouldnt have bought a ussed psu, but it was a good deal at that moment), it worked fine for a week then but then my screen just goes black from time to time and today it just decided to hang the whole pc and i had to force shutdown. I went back to my old psu and the problem went away, i shouldve just purchased a new psu from the start to replace my old 600w one smh
I have a laptop which has an issue where it restarts when i hit shutdown. I took it to a service centre and they replaced the motherboard. Still the issues persists. Any tips?
that is usually driver related, maybe try the tips in this video ruclips.net/video/uJqcCtbAFZw/видео.html
@@mikesunboxing i havent tried updating yet, but it shows bugcheck code as: 0, every single time. Before and after motherboard replacement....does that signify a hardware issue

@@mikesunboxing thanks, appreciate it.
I fixed it by simply cleaning my PC. My gpu (GTX 970) was running very hot with "gpu hotspot" nearing 95+ degrees C on not so graphically demanding games (FFXIV). Found out that there was "hard dust" accumulating on the GPU heatsink. This was most definitely the culprit.
Nice work!
So i just got a combo 7800x3d, b650m with super leadex iii 850W, and im having this exact problem as soon as i set up the pc (no OC, nothing)
The PC just slowly lose responsiveness, some button cant be clicked, cant hot key, then freeze, and reboot
Been digging the net and found some folks in AMD forum had this problem with the 7800x3d as well, they rma-ed the cpu and its solved, so now i suspect its faulty CPU
technician
this started happening a few months ago an stops for a long time before its starts again pc just restarts an i get its kernel power 41 error bad psu or faulty switch or short?
Sounds like the psu might be giving out
@@mikesunboxing i reinstall the ram an all seems to be working fine, or so i thought, played cod warzone 3 hours straight no issues, elden ring tho my pc restarts again
@@mikesunboxing im getting a psu to see from a friend cuz i want to run elden ring with my friend
Let us know
@@mikesunboxing sure thing, getting it today
this error has been plaguing my pc ever since i got this new gigabyte 3080ti, it works fine for the most part then will just freeze and crash. Can this crashing damage my pc components ?
it could definitely cause data loss
@Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to ....what is +12v Rail Safe Voltage under full pc load where pc is stay stable, because i have same issue and my voltage under load +11.5 to +11.6, also my GPU and cpu when both under load my gpu power delivery cut off from 258 watts to 160 watts only can you please help me is my PSU is die? any little suggestion will be helpful for me thanks Mike
some systems will cope with a voltage drop more than others, but half a volt is about the average for a failing PSU
My system starting doing this out of nowhere. Doesn't even restart. Just completely shut down. I even have to turn flip the power switch off and on just to get the pc to turn on again.
sounds like a new PSU might be on the way
@Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to just got one today. Will see how it goes
I have this problem Long time and I cant fix even pc services cant diognostic this problem. Without power supply my pc works norrmal but with power supply is this kernel 41 error and after change to new power Supply nothing change.
kernel 41 can be drivers or power management. did you check the power rails for correct voltages
Hi I hap a laptop and same problem what i change laptop power supply? Or battery or GPU?
Check the voltage with hwmonitor and see if the psu is failing
@@mikesunboxing power supply is okay because on power supply and just on battery i get same problem, i am really worried about this because i buy old laptop. My laptop is HP elitebook 840 g6
With intel UHD 620 graphic chip
When i load more then thia happen like games and run multiple tabs on chrome.
And just blue screen show 1 2 sec and restart my laptop 💻. I updated windows and bios full latest version 🤧
Please me some suggest 🙏
Can you please tell me where is main problem? Because i have low budget for repairs...

I have 0.880 V difference on + 12V can it be problem with my PSU? im struggling to find out whats going on with my pc. Bluescreen when i play something what needs more resource. I did fresh install on windows, updated all drivers, Changed SSD. But can play csgo somehow lol.
yeah that is a lot of a drop, .0.2 or 0.3 is reasonable, more than that and i would start looking at a new psu
kernal-power 41 (63) has happened to me the past month. trying to figure out what it is
good luck with it
My PC randomly disconnects, the video goes off and the fans keep spinning and the whole computer is like frozen, no video, keyboard doesn't respond the cap key stay on and can't turn off, the only way to turn off the computer is by holding the power button till it turn off and then turn it on again. The weird thing about this problem is that it happens very random, sometimes 10 times a day, sometimes once a week, and at some point it didn't happen for 2 months, so idk what to buy, my power supply is an EVG 650w 80 Gold, my PC doesn't have a graphics card it uses Integrated graphics, so the power supply is more than enough, voltages looks good, I tested with a multimeter, it's not a windows problem, cause it also happens when I'm in the BIOS and in safe mode, it has to be hardware related, at this point I feel it could be the motherboard or the PSU but I'm not sure :/

Hi thanks for this video, it helps me to understand this issue I have been getting with a brand new computer. My 12V is actually at 12.216V as current value and min value on IDLE; sounds like it's bad ?
Cheers from Canada
sounds like it is slightly over volting but that should be okay as long as it doesn't go to too high

got 10.1v on 12v rail ..... i think i found the problem.... thanks FSP Hydro
wow that is pretty low, but do check the cables are all fully pushed in, that can also cause problems
@@mikesunboxingwill let ya know mate , but i prepaired to sent it back
On my pc 5v and 3v are fine, but 12 is 12.288. it's not low but is it high?
no that is okay but keep an eye on it to see if it gets worse, the voltage regulation might not be great
@@mikesunboxing ok,thanks. One more thing... voltage on my gpu ih hw monitor...max is 0.790v and min is 0.055v. Current value is about 0.690v. As i have that random shut down problem from time to time while i game(kernel 41), can it be that low minimal 0.055v on gpu that makes my pc shut down?
hi. i have this problem since 6 months and i tried to fix it. i changed everything, psu , ram , all psu cable but it crashing anyways
okay i saw my chipset has only 0.72 and 0.56V but i think it needs 0.95v?
tried a bios update?

I only seem to get this random crash when watching Netflix, my PC is basically brand new and full loaded. My critical errors 41 kernal have only been when watching Netflix and randomly getting a black screen and a display port disconnect with my GPU... I just don't know what would be causing this when I can play games and watch other stuff with ease.
sounds like a driver issue, might be worth checking your chipset drivers are up to date
Having an issue with my PC.
After a couple of hours gaming I'm experience a black screen but I can still hear the audio from discord and the game I'm playing. I have to hard reset the pc and the pc boots fine afterwards.
I've ran memory tests and other benchmarks to stress the pc and it appears the black screen is totally random
I'm running a 3070, 9700k, 16gb ddr4, 2tb nvme, 128gb nvme and 1tb HDD. I do have this running on a 650w psu which I've had for some years now so I'm thinking this could be the cause. I do have a 1000w PSU on the way so I'm gonna try this.
hope it fixes the problem, i was going to suggest monitoring the voltages
@@mikesunboxing I monitored the voltages for quite some time during a stress test and they voltages seem fine. The pc did however shutdown and restart while I was playing warzone. The PSU fan was also very loud so this gives me reason to believe the PSU is the culprit. When I checked in event viewer I seen kernel power 41 error message.
Thanks
