Constant Kernel-Power 41 Every Few Hours

Recently have upgraded my PC from and i5-10600k to Ryzen 7 78003xd, have changed my motherboard to MAG B650 Tomahawk Wifi. Bought another SSD (Samsung 990 2TB) together with my old one (Samsung 860 evo 1TB), added new RAM DDR5 32GB Patriot 30cl, and had to change cooling to a normal fan unit, from my water cooling, because I dont have brackets for AMD.

Currently my PC specs are.
CPU - Ryzen 7 78003xd
GPU - MSI 3070 x3 Ventus
RAM -DDR5 Patriot 30 cl

SSD - 990 Samsung 2TB - 860 Samsung Evo 1TB

PSU - Corsair RM650 (Have just ordered a new PSU just to make sure it's not a PSU issue have ordered the MSI MPG A850G)

Motherboard - MAG b650 Tomahawk Wifi.

Since then when I had it put together, I have reinstalled Windows fresh, from Windows 10, to Windows 10 again. I have started to receive BSOD's with different type of Bug Codes. I have ran multiple testing utility to test all my hardware, ranging from OCCD (RAM test, CPU test, CPU+RAM test, VRAM test) all have passed, I have ran Windows Memory Diagnostic tool, which has passed. I have installed Memtest86, which ran for 2 hours, on 4 cycles. Which has passed. I have run the CMD commands of, sfc /scannow, and the DISM restorehealth. Reinstalled Windows again, but this time upgraded to Win11, still the issue remains, and yes new BIOS update has been installed through USB flash in BIOS.

Answer 1

Based on your description, it seems that you are experiencing persistent Kernel-Power Event ID 41 issues after upgrading your hardware and reinstalling Windows. Here are some potential causes and troubleshooting steps you can consider:

Power Supply Issues: Ensure that your power supply unit (PSU) is sufficient for the new components, especially since the Ryzen 7 7800X3D may require more power than your previous setup. If the PSU is underpowered or faulty, it can lead to unexpected shutdowns.
Overheating: Check if the new cooling solution is adequate for your CPU. If the CPU overheats, it may cause the system to shut down to prevent damage. Monitor the CPU temperatures using software tools to ensure they are within safe limits.
RAM Compatibility: Since you upgraded to DDR5 RAM, ensure that it is compatible with your motherboard and that it is installed correctly. Sometimes, incorrect configurations in the BIOS can lead to stability issues.
Motherboard Settings: After upgrading components, it may be necessary to reset the BIOS to default settings or update the BIOS to the latest version to ensure compatibility with the new hardware.
Driver Issues: Ensure that all drivers, especially for the motherboard and graphics card, are up to date. Outdated or incompatible drivers can lead to system instability and BSODs.
Event ID 46: Check for Event ID 46 in the logs, which indicates issues with crash dump initialization. This can provide further insight into the problem, especially if the system is unable to write a dump file during a crash.
Testing Hardware: Since you have already performed extensive tests on your hardware, consider testing each component individually (like the new RAM and SSD) to isolate the issue further.

If the problem persists after these checks, you may want to consider consulting with a professional or reaching out to the manufacturer for support, as there could be a deeper hardware issue at play.

Hi ,

Access the c:\windows\minidump folder, copy the files to your desktop, then upload them to OneDrive or Google Drive and post the link here for analysis.

Thanks

Hi ,

If it's a memory dump, you can't check it because it might contain important information if a minidump wasn't generated.

Do you have a picture of the BSODs and can you tell me when the BSOD occurs?

Thanks

They seem to happen mostly when gaming, or more intensive tasks. But still had 1 occur even when I was just in a discord call. They seem to happen every couple of hours. The BDOD codes are always different.

Hi,

Does it restart immediately or just shut down?

It could be a temperature issue; the Ryzen 7 7800x3d processor gets quite hot.

Did you make any changes to the BIOS's PBO settings?

Thanks

Firstly when i was still on Win10, it usually restarted itself, with no Blue screen. Sometimes had a blue screen with a code for couple of seconds and just restarted. Now that im on Win11, The bluescreen stays there, and gets stuck on 100%, and doesnt restart. Regarding Temps, can't be an issue, due to idle being around 45 degrees, and maximum under stress reaching maximum 79 degrees. In BIOS i had xmp/expo enabled. I have disabled them now.

Hii ,

It is said that the temperature does not exceed 79 degrees under high load.

You have already disabled EXPO/DOCP, so let's wait and see. Do a test and let me know.

What testing to you want me to do? software based?

Hi,

The best way to test this is by setting high usage in a game you normally play that is demanding.

Sure let me do that. But the issue will remain, as nothing has changed. The Expo settings I have changed like 2 days ago

Hi,

It gave a paging error due to memory limitations.

If possible, do you have two memory sticks or just one?

Thanks

I have two sticks, 2x16 gb 6000mhz 30 cl

Hi,

Try this: remove one of the memory sticks, leave only one, and swap it out. If you have 2x4, change it to 1x3 and put it in a different slot.

Thanks

I only have 2 sticks.
Ivan B 88,930 Reputation points Independent Advisor

2025-12-13T00:38:18.36+00:00

Hi,

I understand, but I suggest you remove one of the sticks and test with only one to see if a BSOD occurs. If it does, replace the stick with another and see if the same thing happens.

Was this during the memory stick test or after the PSU replacement?
