Hello All!
I've been reading over some threads that seem to have this same Kernel-Power 41 Issue but I still seem to be having issues.
My PC was frequently freezing (at least once per day) and forcing me to do a manual restart. Usually what happens is the sound goes out and I'm left with a frozen image on the screen. I am NOT getting the BSOD when this happens.
Only option is to force a restart manually with the case buttons.
All instances of these forced restarts resulted in Kernel-Power Error 41 showing up in the event viewer - the only critical error to show up. Many threads report this is usually a result of a faulty power supply so I gave in and replaced my power supply.
Old Unit: Rosewill Hive Series 650W Modular Gaming Power Supply, 80 PLUS Bronze Certified, Single +12V Rail, Intel 4th Gen CPU Ready, SLI & CrossFire Ready - Hive-650
CURRENT Unit: CORSAIR TX-M Series TX650M (CP-9020132-NA) 650W ATX12V v2.4 / EPS 2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Semi-Modular Active PFC Power Supply
After replacing the Power Supply I went a little over a week without another crash but just had one happen again.
Any ideas what else might be causing these aside from the PSU?
Graphics Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti DirectX 11 GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card
Motherboard: MSI Gaming 970 Gaming AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 and SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Worth noting, this didnt seem to happen until I upgraded my PC to Windows 10 (previously 7 on a different hard drive). Could this all be Windows related?
