Event ID 41 Kernal Power error cause BSOD's

Don't know if anyone is still following this but the people I bought this computer from has found the issue with it. Apparently the power supply was defective, and not providing enough juice to the video card--which caused the constant BSOD's. I don't have it in my hands at the time of this post but once I get it back and put through some tests I will post back here with my findings.

I would love to see what they say. I'm having a (somewhat) similar issue, but with my graphics specifically on a 10 hour old computer. I don't have any tools to test the power supply or anything like that or I would have. Now that I think about it, that might have SOMETHING to do with it BSODing and reporting the graphics driver EVERY TIME (even though I updated it).

Thank you for the update. Please do let us know how it does after you get it back.

Chip, you have asked a good question. Unfortunately, I am not a hardware expert; but we have some really good hardware Gurus here. I suggest that you pose this question in a new thread in the Hardware section: Hardware & Devices - Windows 7 Forums. There you will get expert help.

Now is the time to make an image of your system drive!!! This will show you how to create a system image (clone) backup of the entire hard drive or partition that Windows 7 is on, and any other selected drive or partition, to be able to restore the hard drive or partition at boot up back to the way it was at the time the backup image was created.
