Error Kernel Power 41 (63)

[ZhannaH]

Recently my pc kept crashing while in gaming turns out my GPU was gettin cooked.

I DDU'd my drivers and kept crashing
I Changed my PSU and nothing changed
I update my BIOS and it was more stable but still crashes
I clean reinstalled Windows 11 and update my drivers and DDU'd

I tried to benchmark with FurMark and my monitor flickered I rebooted and the test went fine( 90*C hotspot@ stocks settings ) before I formatted it was getting close to 100 (I think it was because my undervolt settings).

My CPU temps are running fine 

EDIT2: My PC just randomly crashed after 10 min of gameplay and a 30 min of browsing
EDIT3: Played for a good 2/3h of death stranding and everything was fine, I let my game on pause and the pc just restarted...

You have a WHEA error there, can you post a screenshot of what it says?

Can you also write full system specifications?

[Sawa Takahashi]

In itself a Kernel Power 41 error simply means that your computer shut down unexpectedly. You would also get that error if you experience a black out or if you trip on your power cord.

Yes, this one is more relevant and usually associated with a hardware problem.

I totally agree. It makes the job easier for both you and us.

You do not happen to have a cheap chinese LCD to display temps etc? I got similar WHEA and kernel 41 cause of one. Worked fine for months, then i got 2 displays and it made my PC crash. I have unplugged it for now, untill i get around to make some custom drivers for it. Cause those it came with sucks.

You have already checked the Nvidia drivers and even reinstalled Windows.

Have you tried older drivers? Go back to 566.36 and try them. (Also change the setting so Windows update doesn't update drivers.)

 

But since you're having WHEA errors too I suspect hardware error.

Do you have a spare GPU?

I've got an old LCD display from Samsung and an old FHD 144hz curve display from Samsung,

you're suggesting unplugging the old display?

You can try and see if it solves your problem. Cause then you will know what the problem is atleast if its magically fixed after plugging the old one out.

Or maybe you can try forcing Vsync on in windows, and then use Vsync option off in games to run main screen at 144hz in games. Happens windows does not like when two displays got different refreshrates,

Can you ask a friend that can come over with a GPU to test, or if you can take your 3070 to your friend's pc to test?

Did you download the driver from the Asus website ? They are tweaked to better fit Asus GPUs and they are less buggy.

I dont think its a driver issued because when I, fresh installed win It kept rebooting my PC in the startup of windows

You mention undervolting in your initial post.    Did you turn it off or apply new settings after you reinstall windows?   

 

Also could be your PSU, if you have had the system for 5+ years if could be starting to go, have you dusted out the PSU?

Just did that I think there's something wrong with my Motherboard or CPU.
I guess it's time for an Upgrade
