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?

    You just need to use your PC normally and wait to see if Windows is stable.

    Connect the old M.2 to your PC and boot up from the new M.2.

    Right click your Start Button and open Disk Management.

    In the bottom pane, on the old M.2 starting from the left, right click each partition and select 'Delete Volume', until the whole drive is marked as 'Unallocated Space'.
