[SOLVED] Kernal Power 41 for months, cant fix

[harison1738]

Hey all
I am really frustrated and fed up of dealing with Kernal power 41 issues and my pc randomly crashing all the time. I have no idea what really to do. This has been happening ever since my friend installed some new parts into my pc since last june, this issue happens like 10 times a day and I do not even bother turning my PC on. I get kernal power issue 55 aswell, I just do not know what to do and why my pc crashes 10 times a day the last 9 months
Thanks

"Kernal power 41 " is simply the PC telling you "I shut down unexpectedly, and do not know why"

It is NOT the actual issue.

So, what are the full specs of this system?
What are the 'new parts' your 'fiend' installed?

sorry im not too great with hardware, I had a prebuilt PC, Dell inspiron 5675, my friend who is very expieranced in PC building suggested I got a ryzen 7 1800x, nvidia 1070 card, and he suggested I get a 225 GB SSD which he installed windows on. ever since he installed the parts the Kernal issues have been happening

We really really need a full listing of ALL the parts.
Especially the PSU (and not just the wattage number).

And you need a friend who is better with computers....

This is just one, IDK if this helps, in the last 7 days I have had 15 Kernal 41 issues. They happen randomly at anytime, just idle doing nothing, organizing my files, playing games, typing a paper, literally anything.





Let me know what else I can provide

Hi, does bios reset when it happens? Same thing is happening to me, tried changing CMOS battery but the problem persists.

Reduce the system down to the bare minimum needed to actually run.
1 stick or RAM, only the boot drive, etc, etc.

okay you want me to take out a stick of ram and boot to drive to see what happens? is there any way I can provide more details about the kernal 41 and kernal 55?

The 41 is just the system telling you it shut down unexpectedly.
It is not a "fault" on its own.

Look in Resource Monitor and Event Viewer, and see what else may have happened at that moment.

 

[harison1738]

how do I use resource monitor to see what happened when the events happened in the past

Mostly I meant Event Viewer.

But Resource Monitor might show some unusual conditions with a particular part.

cant seem to see anything unusual... what does kernal 55 mean? have lots of those

Event 41 is commonly associated with PSU issues. Looking at your spec, I would bet that is the exact issue you are having given the parts upgraded to.

Event 55 is indicative of a corruption on the drive. If the system is continuously powering off outside of a shutdown command, it has almost certainly caused issues with the drive/OS.

I haven't looked up your specific PC as of yet, but would make the assumption based on Dell that it isn't going to be as easy as just slapping a more powerful PSU in. It will likely require a proprietary Dell PSU of the same form factor and with the same connectors that your current has. Dell likes to use oddball connections.

It honestly may be worthwhile to consider upgrading further to a non proprietary motherboard, case, and PSU transferring the CPU, RAM, and storage across. Probably going to need a cooler too.

Another thing to consider could be a BIOS issue. That Inspiron was certainly sold with a very specific set of hardware options. If they didn't sell it with the specific CPU that it was upgraded to it would certainly explain issues.
