Hello Toms,
I have a new computer I built a couple months ago, but I have run into an issue. I have had my computer randomly restart on me 6 times this last month and I am trying to narrow down the cause (driver, hardware, electrical, ect.)
The only thing I am seeing in Event Viewer is "Level = Critical, Source = Kernel-Power, Event ID = 41, Task Category = 63"
The first 4 times it happened it showed bug check 0, like this:
BugcheckCode 0
BugcheckParameter1 0x0
BugcheckParameter2 0x0
BugcheckParameter3 0x0
BugcheckParameter4 0x0
SleepInProgress false
PowerButtonTimestamp 0
The last 2 times have been different though, they have shown this:
BugcheckCode 59
BugcheckParameter1 0xc0000005
BugcheckParameter2 0xfffff880071c23d0
BugcheckParameter3 0xfffff8800a9f9790
BugcheckParameter4 0x0
SleepInProgress false
PowerButtonTimestamp 0
and also this:
BugcheckCode 26
BugcheckParameter1 0x41790
BugcheckParameter2 0xfffffa8000b9d480
BugcheckParameter3 0xffff
BugcheckParameter4 0x0
SleepInProgress false
PowerButtonTimestamp 0
This last time I also got a BSOD, which I wasn't getting before (the computer would just restart without a BSOD)
Any ideas?

Hello,
Just ran Memtest86+, multiple passes with no errors, so I think the RAM is OK. My temps are good (35c average). The problem occurs randomly, sometimes 3 days apart, sometimes back to back in the same day.
I noticed that at the exact same time I receive these kernel errors, I also receive an error from "Microsoft Security Client OOBE" stopped due to the following error: 0xC000000D. I tried some of the recommendations here, but no success:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/protec...
I uninstalled Microsoft Security Essentials yesterday and when my computer crashed today I still got the same error. So, I am assuming Microsoft Security Client is different from Microsoft Security Essentials. Is this what is causing the crash or just a result of the crash? Im not seeing much else in event viewer around the time of the crash.
I am currently trying:
Updating all drivers
Installing few optional windows updates I hadn't installed yet
Unplugged surge protector and switched outlets to rule out electrical problem.
Does anyone know of any monitoring programs that will give me more detailed information about the crash than event viewer?

I believe this was just a general error code that windows was giving. I never was able to track down exactly what the cause was because I changed so many things. I suspect it might have been an electrical issue because removed the surge protector I was using and switched power outlets. It was so infrequent though that it was difficult to test and find out what was causing the problem, but its not happening anymore. Good luck!

I got almost the same problem on a Dell XP 15 L502X laptop. Instead of restarting my computer just hard carshes to the point where everything freezes. I have had this problem since the computer was new, I have tried everything without resolving the problem. I got Dell to swap my motherboard twice since after research other owners of the Dell XP said that they thought it was a faulty Motherbaord. It did help to swap the motherboard for a little while but now the problem is back and I have no idea what to do...

same problem here, new rig, no temp problem, no RAM problem, no PSU problem. still happens shit loads of time...
LE: it turns out to be the PSU. It died shortly after, although it was 80+ certified and seemed to be of good quality (and also i didn't use it to it's full capacity). I will give you updates after it comes back from warranty, I think it was just a bad sample.

Good luck!so the problem was your surge protector? i currently have the same problem and i have my PC connected to a Belkin surge protector. my pc has been working fine with the belkin for months and all of a sudden the problem started happening. Did u change ur PSU?

Do you have any updates? I have the same problems. My PSU is a seasonic which is suppose to be very durable, on top of that i protect it with a surge protector. i also overprovisioned the power by 100-150W.
mine started problems after a year of use

My PSU had the problems since the very beginning. It lasted for ~2 weeks and then it failed (could not even power-on the system anymore). I was building my rig at that time, but didn't had the money for the GPU (I postponed the purchase for a few months), so the PSU was running with really no sweat (I bought it having in mind the upgrade from on-board graphics to GTX660, so the power consumption was way below the rated power of the PSU).
I returned the PSU and got myself a nice Seasonic, lower power rating, same 80+ cert, later on bought the GTX660, had no problem ever since.
In your case, it's very strange that a Seasonic gets you trouble, but I would return it for warranty.

ic... so a critical kernal power event is a sure sign of PSU problem.. its not very consistent. sometime times it doesnt happen for 3 days, other times it occurs more than twice a day

This Samsung RC512 would not go on the internet wired or wireless. I ran every repair tool, virus scan, uninstalled Norton Internet Security 2011.. nothing, it said connected but no internet, traced it to DPS diagnostic policy would not start. Decided to do a Win 7 Home inplace upgrade, showed 21G recovery parition as empty, had a split 2 parition so backed up data to 2nd parition ran upgrade. Installed Avast and got BSOD Kernel Power ID 41 restarts. Booted into safe mode and found Norton Internet Security 2011 back in programs so I uninstalled it and booted back into Windows 7 so far so good.

Hi, My laptop DELL Inspiron 3521 and I'm facing unexpected shutdown with Event ID 41 "Kernel-Power"
I used CPU-Z to check the Processor & Memory speed
CPU-Z report
I noted that the Processor speed in red color but i don't why ... !!!
Please check if there is any problem and what the solution for this issue.
thanks in advance.

I have seen this in some computers that I have upgraded to windows 7, and many of them have a direct correlation to sleep and power settings.
To check this out, go to your BIOS and check the hibernate feature (usually found in power settings) on the PC. I always use S1 instead of S3 hibernate sleep. I also go into the power settings in windows, and disable hybrid sleep, wake timers. I then go to device manager and disable the "allow windows to turn off to save power" on the network card.
I have worked on quite a few Dell's that have been fixed by changing these settings, so I hope they help you, too.
It seems that some Windows PC's are very fussy with regards to the hibernate sleep, and basically this sets them very conservative settings.

I've just started having this problem with my fairly new build. Been running mint for the last 3 months then wanted to to overclocking using BLCK. Used Asus' auto tuning to get a base, after that could still access the bios but it wouldn't boot out of it.
Reset the bios and windows would load but also getting these random instant shutdows with the kernel power error showing in event viewer. It was doing it even with no load and in the bios itself
Reinstalled windows 8 yesterday but that didn't help, just flashed a earlier revision of the bios. Been running for about 30 mins so far without issue but then I did about 4 hours of gaming last night without issue and then it crashed 4 times in the space of 10 mins.
Hopefully it's sorted, was thinking it might be a electrical short or worse case scenario I did some damage to the CPU...... heres hoping!

I found the problem and thought I should share just in case someone else with the same problem looks this over.
The power supply cable had come sightly loose on my modular PSU. My case is the corsair 350D and it's a bit of tight squeeze getting to the jumpers. Must have pulled on the cable when I was resetting the bios after my failed OC.
Didn't pick it up until it crashed when moving the PC. Stoked it was that simple as it was frustrating to say the least!

i get the same problem. and i have played around in my bios. what i have noticed is when i disable cpu2 and cpu 3 and just run cpu 0 and cpu 1. i get no lock up/freezes. but when i run 3 -4 cores especially 4 cores the computer will Freeze be unresponsive. and then i get that same error you guys get. no BSOD though. and it doesnt just restart. just unresponsive. but like i said i have been running in duel core mode. and nothing has happened

I have checked and ruled out following possibilities which took over a month now
1.HDD problem...no its not HDD problem
2.Reset switch...no its not that either
3.RAM dying ...no
4.any other possibilities are ruled out even the people at service centre said the board is fine
In Event log--- i get this error Kernel -Power 41(63)

I've been having the same problem here. I've gotten a new Windows 8.1 with an AMD card. Noticed it restarts with a Kernel Power Event 41 ONLY when playing certain games. So far the games I've encountered them with is the Steam versions of FreedomFall, QuakeLive and Final Fantasy III with Firefox and VLC video running. All these games are low-demand in the visual departments. Think faulty PSU is the blame for this?

Electronic technician, working in the computer engineering for 7 years now but i am clueless. Same problem for over a year now, tried every possible solution. Upgraded my psu to a 700W Cooler Master psu, same brand new water cooler and no luck. At the minute I have a CPUX, Amd A10, so the issue only occurs when playing with my Nvidia GTX660 card, due particles or blur, works ok just slower without thegraphic card.
And no, this is not a hardware incompability. Saw a post where a guy in USA spent 3k on his rig, Amd and ATI, same thing. Either there is a batch of faulty CPUs or motherboards (perhaps a BIOS settings issue). Power loss should not occure if game suddenly wants more power for the graphic card. I even increased power for the graphic card but it still powers off and restarts.

Similar story here. After many years of using computers I built from spare parts or things people threw away or donated I finally had the coin to build my own machine. Specs are
MoBo: ASUS Z87 Sabretooth
CPU: Intel i7-4770K 4.4Ghz Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Classified
RAM: 16 gb Corsair Vengence 1866mhz
PSU: CORSAIR AXi series AX860i
HD:500GB Storage 240gb Intel730 SSD WIn8.1Primary
Case: AntecGX700
Doesnt always happen. If I just leave my pc on I am good. Though this type of machine I rather be able to power off. It still does not always happen but occasionally after a cold boot 5 mins or maybe 2 mins after login the system will power off and then power itself on then power off sometimes it will come up with a bios message saying that a power supply surge has been detected. Everything seemed right as rain for about 4 months. I did a google check and people are blaming the power supply I am using. Which drives my analytical mind crazy. If my power supply is fault why then can i literally play for hours straight when I am off on weekends without issue? It's annoying more than anything. I am at the point where I have to bite the bullet and completely disassemble and look for possible cause and if that doesn't solve rma. Though due to the utter randomness it makes me wonder if it is software update/bios update/firmware related. Which drives me crazy. Oh well happy I am not alone...

Kernel-power will aways switch off your rig to prevent damage if it detects power los, power surge, or wont get responce from a device. Very likely controlled by UEFI settings as well, but hardware monitors display constant values all the times.
I am currently working on a power tweaker for my motheboard and graphic card, more electronic technician than programmer, but give me time and i may find something.

Any update on this? I am currently having the same issue.

Definately power related, not a temperature issue. I havent had enough time for testing but the card was tested at the retailer and came out clean, however i was not told what they used and i would not trust software tests 100%.
Suspicion is, motherboard or capacitors, either to weak (thus being discharged quickly when demand for power spikes up) or the motherboard is faulty. I have disabled temperature safety in UEFI.
