Sudden Shutdown Kernel Power 41 63
Apr 26, 2010
I am not playing a game my computer runs fine for hours this Critical Error only occurs when I'm running a game usually after few minutes. Most solutions suggested reinstalling audio driver/making sure there is only one. Well I only have one, it's up to date with one audio device running and was reinstalled a couple of days ago. I'm not yet sure if it occurs in every game which I am checking now so far I've experienced shutdown while playing Just Cause 2 and Metro 2033. Critical error is always the same and always a shutdown even though Restart On System Failure is unchecked. [code]
Also attached is my dxdiag.I've ran RAM diagnostic and it found no faults after 13~ thorough checks. I will try reinstalling audio driver again as well as check whether all of my games trigger this error. I did run the System file checker from CMD cannot quite remember the command now and it showed returned no faults.So far only Metro 2033 and Just Cause 2 have caused this error.Just noticed I have missed a latest video card driver. Will attempt to try again after updating that.

my laptop has recently started booting up and shuting down pretty slow, it takes about 3 mins to start up, and shutdown, but when it boots up, it runs perfectly. It yous to only take a few seconds. i'm not very knowledgeable about computer details, so if you need them, where do i find them? I do know i'm running Windows 7 and have Intel core i3. I run mcafee virus scan everyday, defrag and clean my disk everyday.

I have sony VPCF1 laptop, which worked fine until a month ago. Windows 7 home premium 64bits. All of a sudden I started getting random shutdowns whenever I'm playing games. (namely Diablo3 and league of legends)I used to play Skyrim on this laptop without any shutdown issues. I suspected overheating problem, but the speedfan log just before the shutdown shows GPU at 80 C and CPU at around 75.I cleaned out the heat sink and re-applied thermal paste anyways. However, I clean the dust in heat sink every 3 months so there wasn't much to begin with. I also bought a cooling pad, which doesn't seem to lower the temperature at all. I checked the hardwares using vaio care none of them showed known issues.

I have been facing a wierd problem recently. My desktop monitor turns off itself after a few minutes but the CPU works, I can hear the fan running and see the lights blinking. One thing I noticed is that when the monitor turns off, the Orange light on the CPU stays on which normally just blinks. My PC works normally on safe mode, but the worst part about safe mode is that I cannot work on my software CorelDRAW. Can this be the SMPS problem? because recently my mouse and keyboard inputs were not working because of which I got a USB keyboard and mouse. I have recently installed Windows 7 64bit, but I think that should not cause the problem as I have worked with 64bit Windows before on the same machine.
PC configuration -
Intel Core 2 Duo 4500 @ 2.20Ghz Processor
ASUS P5QPL-AM Motherboard
3GB RAM
No Graphic Card (Maybe inbuilt, not sure)
1TB Hardisk
I checked the Event Viewer and came through a critical error, here is the error log
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power
Date: 01-Aug-12 5:41:39 PM
Event ID: 41
Task Category: (63)
Level: Critical

And I also checked the power settings before and the monitor is set to TURN OFF in 15 minutes when kept IDLE.

Been having unexpected crashes lately on my Pc. I am running windows 7 ultimate x64. And I have been getting the Kernel-power 41. The events before the crash are random. I have read a couple of posts on this forum but I cant seem to find the ones I used yesterday to link to. So I ran a cpu stress test for 8 hours and it was fine. And a memtest for 8 hours no errors. And I just finished a 8 hour gpu stress test and that went fine.
This is the log form the crash:

i have this laptop HP Pavilion dv4-1213la Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)I've been having this kernel power issues reboots and bsod's for a long time now, i've tried every possible hardware piece alone and no faults, im a linux user too and had linux only for 2 months no problems at all.only Windows 7(32 or 64bit) fails at me. It always reboots with Kernel-power(41)errors, and ive been trying to trace the problems but bugcodes 0 and bugparameters were always 0. Clean installs didnt help, new hard drive didnt either.
Now this showed up:

I have a problem with my 2yeard old HP pavillion dv966ea. I recently upgraded to windows 7 , and everythingh was good for about 2weeks, now it suddenly crashes and I get the same Kernel Power critical error as some other people mentioned. It crashes randomly, sometimes not in hours...but always when I'm starting a certain 3D client poker software, it freezes and I have to use the power button...after the restart even the HP logo at boot up is sometimes in colours. the only way to get back to normal is to run in safe mode and than restart. that normally seems to do it.I did a lot of research on that, reading all the related articles on this site as well, so here is what I tried so far.Clean installed Windows 7 (7600)tried with or without updatestried all the drivers on HP website and experimented with Nvidia driversupdated realtek audio driversit would be great to know, if this is software or hardware related.(don't have warranty anymore) computer never crashes with the pre-installed vga-driver, but I can't run the poker software with it. My guess is overheating...but I have no idea what or why?

Recently I've been having a really odd problem with my computer. When left on for seemingly random periods of time it will just restart for no reason. It's never happened while I've been doing anything important, but I sleep in the same room and I notice the bios beeps. When I come back to the computer after it's been improperly restarted I must log in. Upon logging in I am met with a dialog box that says windows has shut down improperly, etc, etc. I click check for solutions and the dialog box just disappears. Absolutely no result to doing that.I then check computer management to see what the cause is. I receive the following:
Level: Critical
Date: 1/11/2011 7:45:51AM
Source: Kernel-Power
Event ID: 41
Task Category: (63)
This has happened 5 times. I was hoping it was just something power related as my house is pretty old, but I'm using a surge protector so I'm not quite sure. Now that it's happened this many times I realize it's not just going to go away and it could be pretty bad for my hardware.

I just built a new computer about 2 weeks ago, and everything seemed fine until recently. I started getting "Kernel-Power" errors, usually when I play Star Wars, the old republic, there is no BSoD instead what happens is that I am doing everything normally, and suddenly i get this streak of multicolored pixels across a black screen and the pc restarts.
My Computer specs are:
500w Corsair PSU.
Sapphire Radeon 6850
i5-2500k
OCZ 60gb SSD
16gb ripjaws DDR3
Asus P8Z68-V LE mobo.
I have the latest bios on my motherboard, Microsoft Security essentials returns clean, no minidump is created even though I have it on.
Also I'm running Prime95 on my pc right now and have been for the past hour, but I can't recreate the error that way.

I seem to be having crashes on my laptop as of recent, but the patterns they follow are very strange. It's almost like i'm getting a BSOD while it being used, but instead the screen just go black and all power cuts. It then reboots and starts up as usual. As far as I can tell there is no conflicting software causing this, and it happens without any pattern. Since there is no Blue Screen, I cannot give a dump file. However, on the even viewer, I see an event labeled under the critical category. Now this seems like the CPU or other internal component is overheating, But when i look at HWMonitor Pro, the CPU stays under a steady 84C under load and 60C idle. This happens in a range of occasions such as rendering videos with Handbrake to simply browsing the web. I will say this, I recently swapped out my RAM cards because the OEM one's were causing BSOD's about a month ago. If you'd like more specific information on the laptop, visit my old thread.

The kernel Power errors happen when ever I play a rather large game, such as Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Dead Rising 2, Assassins Creed Series, and Battlefield Bad Company 2. I've tried unplugging all my external devices such as, my headset, It worked for about two weeks, but then the errors started happening again. I had this computer custom built for gaming, It's not even a third full, And I want this to stop. I've updated all my drivers, Uninstalled tons of my games, just to get one working. The errors don't occur immediately once I run the game. It takes about 20 minutes more or less to stop. The computer doesn't freeze, or give any warning that it's about to happen. Just swiftly shuts off. I gave up for a while and tried to restore my system to factory settings. I can't restore it to factory settings, because I don't know where the disc is, and when I try to reset it by a restore point, the restore points are only for this month.

I just got a new computer about a week ago and Ive notice that its been having this weird problem. Its happened about once or twice a day, the last couple of days.I will be surfing the web or listening to music on itunes and the system will freeze completly to the point where I have to hold the power button down to turn off the machine. On startup I get the screen where it says "windows did not shut down properly.." When I log back in and open the event viewer it shows the same error everytime. "Kernel-Power. Event ID 41. Task Category (63).I changed my power plan from balanced to high performance thinking it was a power issue.I also read through this thread: [SOLVED] Kernel-Power 41 (63) error - Tech Support Forum and I noticed that I also have 2 audio drivers and I disabled one of them.

I have been having this problem for almost half a year now, ignored it at first and then tried to fix it myself - it hasn't happened in a while but as of today it has happened 3 times in the same hour - I have found that the crash occurs every time I try and view pictures I have, I have looked everywhere and can't find anyone else with this same problem. At this point I am completely lost and have no idea what is wrong.I have gotten a blue screen once, but every other time it just completely shuts down and reboots, no blue screen.[CODE]

Recenlty I used to have a full memory dump when I used my other drive as a cache. I got this from an old crash report in event viewer on my win 7 pro,I made it the mini dump on my C drive for the last few weeks as im using an SSD. Though for a while I had no page file at all and noticed it wouldnt save a memory.dmp, so I gave C: 100-500 megs again as it keeps crashing. My old memory dump still on C drive from a month or so ago is 480 megs, so I cant upload that.

Ok, my system is slowing down when I do large file transfers (transfer goes from 60M/s to 2M/s after zero io for about 10 min).
Anyway, I am now combing through the Event Viewer + resource monitor and I came across "event 35" with the source kernel-processor-power the text associated says "Performance power management features on process or 1 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer mfgr for updated firmware" - anyway I have a bunch of these errors.
Googled for 'event 35' and found nothing - anyone have more detail on this event and how to solve it?

For the past two months I've been having a series of seemingly random BSODs. I haven't exactly been keeping track of the error codes as of late, but I know I've seen 3 different ones in the past week or so. I believe after posting this I'll edit and update with the codes I get, but I can't offer much help now.As for the scenario, this mostly happens when I'm playing a game for a while; or when viewing full screen video for extended periods of time. The computer restarts, I boot Windows normally, and I'm greeted with a Windows Recovered from a Critical Event or something like that. When I click find solution, it searches for a while and replies that there are no fixes. It might just be me but I feel like it happens more often when the room temp is higher, and when I hear the fans spinning more. I'm thinking it's either overheating or my PSU isn't up to par with the rest of my system.I checked event viewer and I've got 17 occurrences of this in the past 2 months. I'm really worried my components might start to feel the effects of this if they haven't already.The only thing I've been able to find on the net with some substance is this, but I haven't been able to really find use for this as the directions aren't very clear.[url]...If it helps more to see the individual events in friendly or XML view just let me know and I'll post them, I just don't want to spam up a thread with a bunch of garble if it's not necessary.

I am running a 3 year old Sony Vaio, Win7 Sp1, home edition and recently it has been shutting down randomly (not restarting) when I am running games (99% of the time I am on the laptop is when I am running games So I cannot say if this shut-down issue will or will not occur if I just kept the system idle). I have never had this problem until a few days ago when I experienced a BSOD (which happened to me before so I thought it was no big deal), and from that point my laptop began to shut down randomly (just crashes, no BSOD), sometimes within a few minutes, sometimes after a few hours of use.
"WhoCrashed" failed to generate any reports (I ran the crash test, it works fine) and after checking my computers event viewer, there was multiple occurrences of the "event 41 Kernel, Windows was rebooted after an unexpected shutdown" critical error. I browsed the internet looking for possible causes of this, and have taken the following actions:
1. Sending in my laptop for repairs (new thermal paste and heatsink cleaning), the core temp when running games tops out around 60-65C which is nowhere near the level needed for a overheat shutdown
2. Testing my GPU temp, (around 50-60C) once again no where near the level needed for overheat (I am running a Nvidia Geforce GT 330M with updated drivers)
3. Multiple Chkdsks
4. Checked system, power, performance, battery etc with Vaio Care
5. Tested it unplugged and plugged on battery
6. Toning down my power plan's maximum processor usage, changing system cooling policy
7. Reinstalling service pack
8. Cleaning out registry with CCleaner
9. Planning on doing a memory test
After all this, the problem still occurs. I am not sure if it is a hardware problem or something else I am probably going to do a repair install on WIN7 to see if that will fix anything.

I recently had BSODs and freezes.I was under the impression these were related. I found that the BSOD was a driver related to a logitech camera, which i ahve unistalled.I have since completed accidently stumbled upon "summary page events" in event viewer and have noticed all these errors were when ive been having these complete system freezes. [code] I ubilt my own PC. It is not overclocked and it runs very coolIm having 0 bsod's at all!

I am having my pc shutting down randomly when I say this I mean a blank screen no BSOD and when I turn on my computer then go in to the event viewer I get the following:
Critical error: Kernel power 41 (63)
Alongwith a sidebyside 33 error with comes a few seconds before the power error, to give to background this wasn't happening before I download this game and installed it but I have done virus scans and nothing turns up i have even reformat and it stills continues to happen. This is actually the thing I download: [URL]. Actually the last time I had a virus scanner open I also had cpu-z and I was noticing that the cpu % of use was going up a lot from just that and then the temp kept going up as well at one point it was 80-90 degrees

Built a new pc last month:
i5 2400
Asus P8H61-M-LE USB3
8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM
Asus GTX560
Kingston SSD 64GB
320 GB WD Blue
Corsair HX620 PSU
All parts are new except: SSD, HDD, and PSU.
PC would reboot itself randomly and the event viewer says kernel-power event 41 task 63. My biggest hunch is the PSU because there was one time just after I built the PC, it would not turn on when power button was pressed. MOBO status light was lit. Tried shorting out the actual power pins on the MOBO but still did not turn it on. It would also sometimes turn on then off then on again by itself.
Also whenever I'm in CMOS setup, the various voltages seem to be unstable, it would go up and down by +/- .002 or something like that.
Because of those two points plus the PSU is already used and old (was prev used in a server which ran 24/7) I reckon it's the PSU. But before I go buying a new PSU, I thought I'd get your opinions.
