Hello,I'm having an issue with my new build with the following components:CPU: Ultra 9 285KMotherboard: ASUS Prime Z890-P WiFi BIOS updated to ver. 1403RAM: 2x16GB of DDR5-6400 Corsair Vengeance SSD: WD SN850X 2TBPSU: Corsair RM850x GPU: I don't have any discrete GPUI built 3 PCs with the same spec. All of them have the same issue.While I'm using the PCs, they work fine. I even stress test the system multiple times and everything including temps was fine. But when I leave the systems idle, they occasionally crash. I checked the system events and it looks like in all crashes a volmgr 162 oc

Windows BSOD with Event 162 volmgr & Event 41 Kernel-Power

I am receiving regular BSOD errors with the error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. In the event viewer I can see error event 162 volmgr & critical event 41 kernel-power occur at the time of the crash. The crash can occur at any time but seems to be more frequent when waking from inactivity.

I have completely wiped and re-installed windows 11, run restoro, sfc, windows memory diagnostic and 4 passes of memtestx86 with no errors found. I have also tried installing new RAM and I'm still getting the error.

Any suggestions as to the cause would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Matthew,

My name is Igor, I have 12 Microsoft MVP awards. It's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll do all my best to help you. I'm sorry you have a problems.

Kernel-Power 41 (63) error mostly means the problem with power supplying. Can you replace power supply unit for checking? It may mean problems with power management in BIOS or motherboard too.

And you may try to turn off all CPU power saving modes in BIOS (different C states) to check if the problem is in motherboard.

See some details at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client...

And this event can cause volmgr 162 error.

 

Windows 11 volmgr 162 kernel-power 41 BSOD

Igor, I've replaced the power supply and cables with a brand new PSU and checked my BIOS settings for power saving modes but the error has still occurred:





Like before, the event viewer shows volmgr 162 in sequence right before kernel-power 41. In practice, the computer visuals froze and the audio hung up and buzzed for several minutes before rebooting automatically (same as always).

Any updated advice? Thanks.
