Hi

I built my own system a few weeks ago and installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Started getting the Event 41 reboots, no BSOD, Windows would just reboot and then give and Event 41 error when I checked in the event log.
I rebuilt a number of times assuming I had installed something wrong or put incorrect drivers on. Nothing helped and it got to the point when Windows wouldn't stay on for more then a few minutes before rebooting.
After searching the internet for over a week I found a forum, sadly I can't remember where it was as I would like to thank the original poster, I found a potential fix.
It was suggested by the poster that if you up the Northbridge voltage in the BIOS by one setting it should do the trick. After a quick search to find out which voltage setting that was for my BIOS and MB I upped it from 1.1v to 1.14. i also fixed the CPU voltage which was set to AUTO and changed it to the figure that the BIOS was reporting, 1.25625v.

Since doing this I have not had a crash and the system has been stable for two days. I ppreciate this is not a long time but conisdering I was getting less than 5 mins max it would seem that this little tweak has done the job.

I hope some of you may find this useful, hopefully you will have some joy as well.

Paul shared a helpful tip that resolved his Event 41 reboot issue on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. By adjusting the Northbridge voltage in the BIOS and setting the CPU voltage correctly, he was able to stabilize his system. Here's a summary of the steps he took: 1. Issue: Event 41 reboots without BSOD, causing Windows to reboot unexpectedly. 2. Resolution Steps: - Northbridge Voltage Adjustment: Increase the Northbridge voltage by one setting in the BIOS. Paul increased it from 1.1v to 1.14v. - CPU Voltage Setting: Adjust the CPU voltage from AUTO to the actual reported figure in the BIOS (in Paul's case, 1.25625v). 3. Result: After making these adjustments, Paul's system has been stable for two days without any...

Hardware Configuration: - CPU: i7 980x - Motherboard: GA-X58A-UD3R - RAM: 12GB Corsair - Power Supply: 650W TX PSU - Graphics Card: FX380 This solution might be helpful to others experiencing similar reboot issues on their Windows systems. It's essential to carefully adjust voltages in the BIOS to ensure system stability. If anyone encounters Event 41 reboots, this tweak could potentially resolve the issue.
