Hello, Lately, when running an application called Prepar3D, my system has had BSODs. It's a flightsim application, which relies a lot on GPU, CPU and RAM. Lately, when flying over a certain part of the world with a lot of mountains, my pc bsods, so I suspect it has to do with all the terrain rendering that is necessary. My system used to be stable and never had BSODs whatsoever, but lately that has changed. Whether it's GPU or CPU related, I don't know, but essential to know. I've tried to reinstall Windows 10 and Prepar3D, also reapplied thermal paste to both the GPU and CPU, updated BIOS and enabled Hyperthreading, but none of that has really changed anything. My GPU's temperature decreased a bit (10-15 degrees) but can still go up as far as 80 degrees. I also monitored temps and VRAM usage prior to the crash, none of them being near the limits. Nothing is overclocked. As for the BSOD, it's always event 41 and bugcheckcode 292: <Event xmlns="** http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event**" > <System> <Provider Name=" Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power " Guid=" {331c3b3a-2005-44c2-ac5e-77220c37d6b4} " /><EventID>41</EventID><Version>8</Version><Level>1</Level><Task>63</Task><Opcode>0</Opcode><Keywords>0x8000400000000002</Keywords><TimeCreated SystemTime=" 2023-04-12T03:49:16.0007809Z " /><EventRecordID>3680</EventRecordID><Correlation /><Execution ProcessID=" 4 " ThreadID=" 8 " /><Channel>System</Channel><Computer>DESKTOP-209P4JF</Computer><Security UserID=" S-1-5-18 " /></System> <EventData> <Data Name=" BugcheckCode ">292</Data><Data Name=" BugcheckParameter1 ">0x10</Data><Data Name=" BugcheckParameter2 ">0x0</Data><Data Name=" BugcheckParameter3 ">0x0</Data><Data Name=" BugcheckParameter4 ">0x0</Data><Data Name=" SleepInProgress ">0</Data><Data Name=" PowerButtonTimestamp ">0</Data><Data Name=" BootAppStatus ">0</Data><Data Name=" Checkpoint ">0</Data><Data Name=" ConnectedStandbyInProgress ">false</Data><Data Name=" SystemSleepTransitionsToOn ">0</Data><Data Name=" CsEntryScenarioInstanceId ">0</Data><Data Name=" BugcheckInfoFromEFI ">true</Data><Data Name=" CheckpointStatus ">0</Data><Data Name=" CsEntryScenarioInstanceIdV2 ">0</Data><Data Name=" LongPowerButtonPressDetected ">false</Data></EventData> </Event> I think my minidump files are corrupted, which is why I consult the forum, because I have searched on Google already, but I'm not able to go ahead and debug myself.

It would be better to try another PSU. But you may try to reconnect all contacts and partially disassemble your PSU to clean it from dust and check if there are leaked or swollen capacitors. And please try to disable all C-states in BIOS, sometimes the problem may be in the motherboard.

Hi Igor, Thanks for the help. I was actually just reading another thread regarding whether it could be the PSU. My PSU has 850W & 80+ Gold Certified. With "replacing" do you mean testing another PSU or just taking out the existing PSU and reconnect all the cables properly? Will also check the motherboard and the link you sent.

Hi Anton, My name is Igor, it's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll do all my best to help you. Kernel-Power 41 (63) error mostly means the problem with power supplying. Can you replace power supply unit for checking? It may mean problems with power management in BIOS or motherboard too. And you may try to turn off all CPU power saving modes in BIOS (different C states) to check if the problem is in motherboard. See some details at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client...

Pretty much the same behavior as before. I'm sorry that my suggestions didn't help you. I'm out of ideas about this issue. But do not worry, as this is an open community, maybe someone has another idea that can help you. Best regards.
