You may have experienced a Kernel-Power critical error associated with Event ID 41. This error is usually seen in the Windows Event Viewer, which shows a log of system and application messages, including warnings, information messages, and errors. There are often many errors shown in Event Viewer, but if your computer is working properly, you can probably ignore them. The Kernel-Power critical error, however, is not one you should ignore, as it could affect Windows stability.

The Kernel-Power error (ID 41) error message states that the system has rebooted without first cleanly shutting-down. It can be caused if the system stops responding, crashes, or loses power unexpectedly. To be more precise, the error occurs when the computer is shut down or restarted unexpectedly. The Kernel-Power Event ID 41 critical error is generated when a Windows computer starts after its last shutdown and Windows finds that the computer was not previously shut down cleanly. Event ID 41 reports that something unexpected happened, thus preventing Windows from shutting down correctly.

The error message itself does provide much information, and why it is important to know what the computer was doing just prior to the event, and to identify a potential resolution. An under-powered or failing power supply might be one reason. For example, if you have recently added Random Access Memory (RAM), additional devices, or hard disks when this problem arose, the power supply might be the cause.
