Strange Kernel Power 41 (63)

SETÄ #1 · March 12, 2018

Hi,

Since I built my new pc (parts listed at the end of the post) I have been experiencing a critical problem that freezes my pc. The event log refers it by "kernel power 41 (63)". It can't be a virus since I've formatted my pc several times and spybot cannot recognize any problems. I have tried updating some drivers, updating my bios, disabling my OC and running a test on my RAM. I have only recognized one pattern: This problem occurs while playing games for excess amounts of time (so far only CSGO, PUBG or Fortnite)

Usually the information displayed about this event is such:

Kernal power error 41 occurs when the computer is shut down, or it restarts unexpectedly. When a computer that is running Windows starts, a check is performed to determine whether the computer was shut down cleanly. If the computer was not shut down cleanly, a Kernel Power Event 41 message is generated.

Does your pc reboot when it freezes or do you hard reboot it like holding down the power button to turn it off when it freezes?
