Repeated shutdowns with Kernal Power Event ID 41
I’ve got a repeated shutdown problem with an HP dc7900 running Windows 7. My system started shutting down when the PC went into sleep mode. It continued until the original Nvidia video card failed. It was replaced by a local firm that said the system would shut down if hardware was failing. The new card is an ATI Radeon but the PC is still shutting down, 13 times this month. I disabled screen saver but the PC has just shut down while I was working. The Event Viewer tells me there is a Kernal Power event ID 41. Someone mentioned this may happen due to overheating but the fans are clean and no dust. There is a MEMORY.DMP file (dated 1/30/12, 10.04AM EDT) file but I cannot open it. It says it needs the administrator (me!). Windows asked me if I wanted to send a log to Microsoft and I said yes. The blue screen has a lot of data on it but it flashes by so quickly I can’t read it or capture it. The PC reboots immediately after the screen disappears.
Any way to open the file assuming it is readable in a text editor? Any suggestions as to fixing this problem? I really can't go on with the PC in this condition. Attached the JCGriff file, sorry about the RAR extension - it wipes out Zip usage.
Windows 7 32 bit. Original OS was Vista but a repair shop installed new Windows 7 after an HD crash in 2009. PC purchased 10/2008.
A Health Report html file was created but the instructions do not specify a filename, just extension. The Manage Attachments window says my title of SystemHealthReport.html is an "Invalid file."
