    Kernel-Power 41


    1 month ago I build a new PC and ever since then I am getting random instant shutdowns. They sometimes happen 2-3 times a day and sometimes in interval of 4-5 days. After each shutdown in Event Viewer there is a Kernel-Power 41. How to fix it, is it a hardware or software problem? Specs below.
    Intel Core i7 6800K
    Corsair H110i GT
    Asus ROG Strix X99 Gaming
    Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4x4GB) 3200MHz CMK16GX4M4C3200C16
    Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
    Seagate Barracuda 3TB
    Sapphire Radeon R9 270X
    NZXT H440
    EVGA SuperNOVA P2 850W

    That error is related to Windows not properly shutting down. The biggest culprits are Intel's Readyboost and RST. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2028504

    I only have Intel Rapid Storage Technology v14.8 installed. Never heard of Readyboost what is it? Do I need to uninstall RST?

    Readyboost is Microsoft's way of using a USB stick as a Cache. Uninstall Intel RST, since Windows 10 already has the tech built into the OS.
