Solved Frequent, random reboots with Event 41, Kernel-Power

Starting on June 5, 2015, my system has been rebooting randomly without warning. Most of time, a memory dump is not created. I have done some diagnostics on my own:


  • SFC /SCANNOW reports no errors.
  • Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth reports no errors
  • CHKDSK /F reports no errors
  • Windows Memory Diagnostic reports no errors
  • Microsoft's Verifier gave two BSOD's in a row, after which my BIOS triggered a system restore automatically to disable it
  • I cannot restore to an earlier date, as the only restore point was the manual one I created before running Verifier. I'd love to know why the other restore points are missing.

I've run your data-gathering app and attached the results to this message. This is extremely troubling, as I rely on this computer for a living, and it's barely 6 months old. The crashes are fairly random, and most simply reboot the PC or freeze it without generating a bugcheck code.

Update: After more memory dumps, I have a random selection of errors to go with the random crashes:


  • BAD_POOL_HEADER
  • DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
  • IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
  • KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
  • KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
  • MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
  • NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
  • PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON-PAGED_AREA
  • SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

Furthermore, my restore points continue to vanish. I'm uninstalled Diskeeper 12 Pro, so I know that's not the problem. Instead, I'm getting this note in the event logs:
The shadow copies of volume C: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time. Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied.​

This is dubious advice, as there is no way to control the IO load during boot (a clean boot without optional services did not help), nor any obvious way to relocate shadow copies to another drive in Windows 8.1.

Memtest86 results: I've run Memtest86 three times now. The first run included all tests. The first pass had 0 errors. Pass 2 was OK until the hammer test, during which there were two bursts of errors, numbering 2679. At the time, RAM was set to the default system specs, which are considerably lower than the memory's factory specs.

I enabled the XMP profile (per factory specs), and ran Memtest86 again. It passed 4 passes without the Hammer test, and an additional 4 passes with Hammer enabled. I'm at a complete loss, as the system is still locking up randomly, and usually without BSOD. It just freezes (rarely) or reboots quietly.

Thank you, Axe

Re the telephony API (I assume that's what tap0901.sys is), it could be from PrivateInternetAccess at https://www.privateinternetaccess.com If so, I have the latest release (v46.) I've submitted a ticket with them, to verify that the generic OpenVPN drivers are in use by their software.

http://www.killergaming.com is an invalid URL. It either does not exist or the server is down. I don't recognize it either. Perhaps you're mistaking my motherboard (Fatal1ty Killer Z97) for something else? My system did come with Killer Network software, but that's from another site, and I've tried to update it a few times. Despite the vendor claiming that a 9.0.0.1 version exists, the download keeps installing the older, 8.1.0.23 version.

Should I replace my attached system data with the latest version? As mentioned previously, I've been waiting weeks for help, and some drivers have been updated since then. Either by me, or automatically.

tap0901.sys is the driver for a device called TAP-Win32 Adapter V9, a virtual network connection for Open VPN.
e22w8x64.sys is the driver of your ethernet card, for updates about this driver you can check http://www.killernetworking.com/.
Apologie for the incorrect link, I have to get used to a few things as I'm new with BSOD analysing.

Thank you, Axe

Re the telephony API (I assume that's what tap0901.sys is), it could be from PrivateInternetAccess at https://www.privateinternetaccess.com If so, I have the latest release (v46.) I've submitted a ticket with them, to verify that the generic OpenVPN drivers are in use by their software.

http://www.killergaming.com is an invalid URL. It either does not exist or the server is down. I don't recognize it either. Perhaps you're mistaking my motherboard (Fatal1ty Killer Z97) for something else? My system did come with Killer Network software, but that's from another site, and I've tried to update it a few times. Despite the vendor claiming that a 9.0.0.1 version exists, the download keeps installing the older, 8.1.0.23 version.

Should I replace my attached system data with the latest version? As mentioned previously, I've been waiting weeks for help, and some drivers have been updated since then. Either by me, or automatically.

When you get a new BSOD please upload a new attachment yes.

As I thought, changes in the system, so I can't be sure if the changes I suggest could make a difference.

Fair enough. I appreciate the help. Ironically, it came the day after I'd updated motherboard drivers, including the network, LOL. If I get another crash, I'll update the logs and send you a PM. Thank you.

P.S. The ASRock App Shop program is horrible. It claims to update drivers and motherboard utilities automatically, but it rarely works, reports and downloads the wrong version of drivers (in the case of the Killer Network Suite), and reboots without warning after an update completes.

I wouldn't recommend a program that 'updates' your drivers, most of the time it gives only problems with wrong drivers, not correctly installed or other problems.
Its best to manually update the drivers so you can be sure its done correctly and its a newer version.

Agreed. I'd never trust a third-party installer. Even Windows gets it wrong, as they think every driver on my system is the latest version. I'd hoped for better results from the motherboard maker, but no such luck. :)

Unfortunately, updating the network driver did not help. It just crashed again with a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT error. I've attached a fresh set of logs (dated July 4.) I've also removed OpenVPN for the time being.

Thank you for the updated attachment.

The only difference between the drivers is that the nVidia driver has been flagged too this time.
This means the following for the other 2 drivers that were mentioned before:
1. Your network driver hasn't been updated, exactly the same time and date.
2. The OpenVPN driver hasn't been removed, or OpenVPN hasn't been removed correctly.

Code:
[COLOR=red][B]tap0901.sys Thu Nov 24 19:50:27 2011 (4ECE91F3)[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=red][B]NvStreamKms.sys Fri Jun 12 16:10:46 2015 (557AE866)[/B][/COLOR]

Drivers for nVidia graphics card can be found here nVidia Drivers download

I recommend to do a memory diagnostics test for the memory BSOD and other BSOD's.
Also please run Chkdsk /f /r again.

I know you've done the memory test and checked your hard drive, but please perform these tests again.

Incorrect, I fear. OpenVPN has been removed, and my current network driver is version 8.1.0.25, dated March 18, 2015. Most of those crash dumps, except for the most recent, occurred before changing drivers. Also, my nVidia driver is current (353.30, dated June 22/2015.) There is nothing more recent.

Neither MEMTEST86, nor SFC report any problems. I will not use MEMTEST86+, as it's several years out of date, doesn't recognize my RAM (too recent), and can't read my BIOS SPD settings. I'll try MEMTEST86 on individual chips when I have more time, but since it takes a minimum of 5 hours to test one chip, that won't be while I have guests and need this computer for work.

CHKDSK found some minor problems and cleaned up. I'm not surprised, as random restarts are bound to interrupt file writes.

TAP-Win32 Adapter V9 device can be removed manually.

For your network driver there appears to be a workaround MSI Computers workaround.
Simply disable Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service in msconfig, disable KillerNetManager in taskmanager and reboot.

Unfortunately I wouldn't know any other solution a.t.m. that could help, I'll do some research about those BSOD's.

I appreciate your efforts. As I said, OpenVPN was removed, and the system rebooted before that last BSOD. I had the KillerNetManager disabled already, but I'll disable the service too. I just want internet. I don't need some program imagining it can streamline traffic on a network shared by a 10-room hotel. Only the router can do that; not some app running on my gaming rig, LOL.

btw, I cannot leave OpenVPN off for long. I need it for work, as it's a requirement of our credit card security protocols. It hasn't caused an issue in the 6 years I ran my old PC, so I tend to think it's not causing a problem now. But it can't hurt to check.

Why do you think OpenVPN is a problem? Is it mentioned in one of the crash logs, or are you simply concerned about the driver's age? I did mention that to PrivateInternetAccess support, and was told they only support v2.2 at this time, and didn't recommend updating the driver separately from their product.

MemTest results: The first stick passed 6 complete passes in slot 1. Will use this stick for awhile to test stability, then swap in the other stick for testing. So far, it's managed tasks that were crashing my machine (full antivirus scans, 3DMark, etc.) so it's looking good.

Because OpenVPN is a program that is pretty well known to cause bluescreens.

Great to see you're making progress, but
Memtest86 results: I've run Memtest86 three times now. The first run included all tests. The first pass had 0 errors. Pass 2 was OK until the hammer test, during which there were two bursts of errors, numbering 2679. At the time, RAM was set to the default system specs, which are considerably lower than the memory's factory specs.

With the memtest the only positive result is zero errors.
This means you have faulty RAM.

Didn't see that untill now :(

This means you have faulty RAM.

PrivateInternetAccess (the client that's running OpenVPN) has never crashed my machine, or the others I use it on.

As for memory, I've now run MemTest86 multiple times on both chips together and individually. The only time an error was reported was when my BIOS settings were incorrect. Under the XMP settings, there are no errors running 1 chip at a time, and no more system crashes in the past few days.

Socket #1 and either chip on its own have been rock-solid. Nothing I've thrown at them, including overnight runs of Prime95, stress tests with 3Dmark, etc. are throwing errors or crashing. The next step is test these chips in the sockets I was using before (#2 and #4) as it's quite possible one or both of those has a problem.

Moving the memory chips to new sockets appears to have solved my stability issues. I'm marking this solved and will open a new case should the need arise. Thanks again for everyone's help.

Sadly, I was wrong. While stable for the past few days, my computer rebooted twice today without warning, and with no error message. Once while playing a game (Hand of Fate), and once while checking the TV Guide website. Neither produced a crash log, or any boot errors aside from the usual log errors that everyone using a Home Group in Windows 7 and 8 sees.


  • Session "Pku2uLog" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
  • Session "NegoLog" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
  • Session "IDListenLog" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
  • Session "P2PLog" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
  • Session "HomeGroupLog" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035

I'm at a loss, as I have no idea how to proceed. If memory tests aren't reliable, than nothing is. I expect a perfect world, and cannot deal with chaotic results.

I don't, and I was quite clear on that. No error message means no memory dump. I've put in a support ticket with the system manufacturer, as this is entirely their fault.
