Ok I just build new computer and for some reason when the sound drivers are turned on they cause it to crash. This happens when either the onboard sound is turned on or the sound in the video card. Since they are both separate units I'm thinking that whatever feeds them is the problem.
Event 41 Kernel Power Critical Error Windows 10
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for all the help we didn't get this solved. I'm returning the motherboard and putting this behind us. Thank you for everything.
You are correct, this is related to your soundcard drivers. Try going into device manager and updating the sound driver, or uninstalling it.
You weren't entirely clear on the path that brought you here, or the parts concerned. But, fixing the driver issue is what your goal is.
Good luck.
But the on board card should use different drivers...
One thing to try is to remove the physical card and try with just the onboard, if it is an IRQ crash that would solve it.
But we seriously need to look on the system log to find out the problem. While it could be a driver issue I am not convinced that it is so. The log will tell us where the problem lies.

You should let him know how to check that as not everyone would know how. I know I wouldn't.

"When you are experiencing the kernel-power 41 (63) error, chances are that your computer’s sound card’s driver software is the problem.
The driver software acts as an interpreter between the hardware and Windows itself. The sound card delivers audio to your computer’s headphones or speakers. It is connected to the motherboard inside the computer."
There is no definitive proof this is driver related, but it is highly likely. If the op were to come back and say he is using a Creative pci card, I would be near 100% sure.

First thing I would do since it's a newly built computer is go to the motherboard mfg's website and make sure that all the drivers, especially the low-level chipset drivers, are the latest for your MB model/OS.
That's where I have found and resolved most of my newly-built computer problems. After that, you can start on the specific HW add-on component dirvers for your GFX and sound cards if needed.

This right here. Go to the manufaturers website and get all of the latest chipset drivers and BIOS updates and apply them. The biggest culprit for crashes right after a new build is either hardware, which most likely isn't the problem here, or drivers.
Additionally, the actual exception code found in the windows event viewer would be really helpful. It will look something like '0x00000f4' or similar.
Pick one sound device that you like to use, either the onboard or the PCI device. If you are going to use the PCI device go to your BIOS setting and disable your onboard sound device. If you're going to use your onboard device then simply take off that PCI sound device that's causing the problem. If you don't want to take it off, go to BIOS setting, disable your onboard, go to device manager, disable your PCI, restart, go to BIOS setting enable the onboard device and it should work just fine.
IDK if this helps. But so far I switched the ram around and that did nothing. Still crashing and causing problems. At one time the computer wouldn't even boot to bios so I unplugged a few things and simply plugged them back in and it started working again. I got all the current software for my motherboard.
I'm not trying to insult your intelligence or anything of the sort, but did you remember to apply thermal paste to your CPU cooler? Are you using any programs such as CCleaner or RealTemp temperature monitors to see what your temps are?
This exception code you provided (0x8000400000000002) is one of the same ones that Windows will throw if your machine shuts down due to overheating.

Its showing 59c in bios. I'll run realtemp to see what is the deal.

What CPU? That seems on the high side to me unless it's way overclocked.

Sounds like your video card sound is trying to use the same resource as your on board sound. I had similar problem with an Nvidia card. I found uninstalling the audio driver for Nvidia helped.

I meant 49c. What i've been messing with is power consuption. I have turned off everything on the mobo that I'm not using. Its possible the power supply is just being overused and its causing the computer to reboot. Right now there has been zero crashes since I turned everything off. Waiting now to see if that fixed it. I should have an extra 100w out of my power supply but with everything on the entire board turned on idk maybe i calculated it wrong.

Win10 is not bad, you just need to find where shit is to configure it more to your liking.
When you don't want the truth, you will make up your own truth.
