Every time I shut down my computer and restart it (via the 'shutdown' command in the start menu) I get a Kernel Power critical error in my event viewer. This has seemingly no other negative effects, but seeing it's a critical error made me feel like I ought to ask around about it.
This is paired with a set of awfully vague BSOD's I've been getting while playing specific games. At seemingly random times. The shutdown goes as follows:
- Start up game
- Computer lags as a whole, however resource monitors show loads are well below the level my computer should be chugging. Nor is my internet at fault.
- After a minute or two, either explorer.exe crashes (I think it does. Everything turns black but I still see my mouse and occasionally a single application. Cntrl + alt + delete doesn't work and prompts me to restart my computer manually) Or I get a BSOD with one of the following errors:
Kernel Data Inpage Error
Msfs.SYS failed
System Service exception
Critical Process died
This is what I've done to troubleshoot so far:
- Reinstalled windows
- Ran every troubleshooter windows offers. Including CHKDSK /r on both my disks, DISM, SFC, memtest.
- Ran a stress-test on both my RAM and CPU (both passed with flying colors)
- Reinstalled the games that cause the crashes.
- Cleared my PC's dust and refitted components like RAM GPU etc making sure they're all snugly fit. Which they are.
- Checked PC's temperatures (normal, 40-55C at peak times when stress-testing)
- Did a clean reinstall of my video-drivers.
- Checked and updated drivers of every other device I could find on my PC. (Though I have no idea how to spot potentially corrupted drivers?)
- Checked my PC for viruses (windows defender + malwarebytes)
Long story short, I'm stumped.
Oddities I've noticed:
My PC started really winding up before it turns off when I give the shutdown command. It didn't used to do that. It takes an extra 1-2 minutes after the shutdown command, I can hear the harddrive spinning and then it shuts down as normal.
I'm also noticing there's no file upload option here so I'll upload my specs via links:

Thanks for helping!
