I noticed that when I slept my computer for two hours or so and then I came back to turn on my computer, I see a terrifying blue screen error that goes away quickly and also I was able to look into the event log and saw that the system had a critical error and it said that the error had a kernal power 41 system issue.....Also when I went to troubleshoot the problem in windows..It said something about a driver causing the issue.
 
kernel power error 41 just means that the system rebooted without doing a proper shutdown.
what you really need to lookin to is the cause of the bluescreen (bugcheck) if the system is set up correctly it will save a file in c:\windows\minidump the files will have a .dmp extension and if you put them on a server and post a link someone can look at them and see why windows shutdown your system.
Sometimes you can run bluescreenviewer.exe and it might tell you why (sometimes)
