Dreaded Kernel 41 error. Help please.

[rooster hancock 2003 38]

Hi All.

I Have been suffering with this problem for some time now. Sometimes P3d V5.3 CTD's and sometimes my hole rig shuts down! I've tried to follow fixes online but nothing seems to work. Is there a clever fellow out there who could throw some light on this please. Please be gentle with me though, I'm not a techy! Thanks in advance.

 

Malcolm.

Is your system overclocked?

Hi newtie.

Thank you for your reply. No it's not. My system spec's by the way.

A Google search turned up pages of Kernel 41 issues. See https://windowsreport.com/event-id-41-windows-11/ for example or search for "Windows 11 Kernel 41"

@rooster hancock 2003, what aircraft are you flying? If the problem is with a 3rd party one try a default aircraft. How long into a flight?

If your computer is shutting down that suggests a more serious problem. It’s certainly powerful enough. Built professionally or home built?

[Christopher Low 5,352]

Based on the way that the description has been presented, this is almost certainly a factory build.

[Dazzlercee23 66]

I had this last week after upgrading to 13th gen Intel CPU. It was the PSU. Not sure if its faulty (9 years old, so possibly) or just not able to supply the increased power draw. 

Swapped for a Corsair 1000w and no issues since. 

[fluffyflops 1,856]

A mate of mine just had a psu go bang and it took his graphics card, albeit an old one with it too. 

Poor sod. 

I've had it years ago with a psu go bang, luckily it didn't take the mobo, cpu or gfx card with it. 

[Bob Scott 7,719]

This is very likely a hardware problem, either the PSU or possibly the onboard power regulation on the motherboard itself.  I've seen both.  The computer shutting down uncommanded is the tell-tale here.

I'd start by checking, removing, and re-seating all the power connectors going to the motherboard, and on both ends of the cables if the PSU is a modular design where the cable ends are terminated with connectors plugged into the PSU.  If that doesn't fix it, then I'd swap in a known working PSU with a capacity appropriate to the hardware.  That's the most likely source of the problem.  If it's a motherboard power issue, it's likely that it's going to entail rebuilding the entire system.

Also make sure your power cable from the wall isn't loose.  I had an unhappy and somewhat embarassing incident decades ago that turned out to be nothing more complicated than a loose 120v power cable. 

[Sabre57 46]

This could also be a temperature issue.  PCs need to have the dust blown out of them on a regular basis.  How regular varies depending on the environment it's in.  I would suggest that, in general, you follow these steps:

1. Check the power cable for a solid connection(Like Bob said)

2. Clean out the dust from the case. Blow it out, do not vacuum.

3 While the case is open, reseat your GPU and Memory cards.  Also check to make sure that any other power cables are seated properly, like Bob said 🙂.

4. Boot the PC and make sure that all the fans are working properly; GPU, CPU, Power supply, and case fans.

5. Get a temp monitoring program like MSI Afterburner and when running the sim ensure that you aren't going over any limits, mainly the GPU and CPU temps

6. If you do all of this and you still have crashes and shutdowns, IMHO, is when you consider looking directly at the Hardware.
