Kernal Power 41 error & Critical Process Died

Anonymous

Hi, Recently built a new PC. I've been getting the Kernal Power 41 error and Critical Process Died.

Now when I login to windows and I move my mouse or click onto something it freezes and gives me a BSoD. However if I wait a few seconds without going into the apps striaght away it seems to work fine.

I have double checked all cables and they seem to be on tight. I have ran OCCT stress test on all components and they pass. When I game it runs fine.

I have done a clean install of windows twice. All drivers are up to date, I've ran chkdsk /r and other diagonstics. Nothing so far.

CPU is Ryzen 7 7800x3d

Motherboard b650 aorus elite ax

GPU 4080 Super

G. skill ram 32gb 6000mhz 30cl - not running on amd expo

850w corsair psu.

Any Idea why this may be happening?

If the new M.2 also crashes, most likely it is a chipset driver or BIOS may need to be updated.

The chipset driver can only be installed from inside Windows.
