How to fix Kernel-Power 41 (63)

So, my OMEN MAX 16-ahXXXX Windows 11 Version 25H2 keeps turning off and on every time I boot up windows or touch my keyboard it takes sometimes 1 second to shut off when turning it on or a few seconds. I try to turn it on/ or use it basically unusable except for safe mode I can use it completely fine in safe mode. My critical issue in XML
it also gives this message "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

I really need help I asked someone and they believe it's a drivers issue my graphics card (Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070) or Intel integrated graphics I know it's not power related since it doesn't shut off in safe mode and I checked my bios and it said it was perfectly fine.

    Event ID 41 is only telling that Windows did not shut down cleanly. In this case, the important detail is that Event ID 41 contains a nonzero BugcheckCode (59), which means the restart is associated with a Stop error rather than a simple power loss.

    Use this path:

    1. Treat this as a blue screen/bugcheck issue first
      • Event ID 41 with a bugcheck code means Windows captured Stop error data during the unexpected restart.
      • The bugcheck code in Event ID 41 is shown in decimal, while most bugcheck documentation uses hexadecimal.
    2. Convert BugcheckCode 59 to hexadecimal
      • Open Start and search for Calculator.
      • In Calculator, select View > Programmer.
      • Make sure Dec is selected.
      • Enter 59.
      • Select Hex.
      • Use the 8-digit form when checking documentation.
    3. Check whether the shutdown was forced by the power button
      • In the event data provided, PowerButtonTimestamp = 0.
      • That does not match the documented pattern for a restart caused by pressing and holding the power button.
    4. Since Safe Mode is stable, focus on drivers and normal-boot components
      • Safe Mode working normally means the issue appears during a normal Windows startup path, where additional drivers and services load.
      • Because Event ID 41 already includes a bugcheck code, continue with Stop error troubleshooting rather than treating this as a pure power event.
    5. Check for related events around the crash time
      • In Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System, look for these around the same time:
        • Event ID 6008 for the unexpected shutdown time
        • Event ID 1074 to confirm whether any app or user initiated shutdown/restart
        • Event ID 6006 to see whether Windows completed a clean shutdown
      • Also check both Application and System logs for suspicious events just before the Event ID 41 time.
    6. If Windows is restarting too quickly to identify the Stop error, disable automatic restart
      • Right-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Advanced.
      • Under Startup and Recovery, select Settings.
      • Clear Automatically restart.
      • This helps keep the Stop error visible instead of immediately rebooting.
    7. If Event ID 41 later shows all zero values, check dump configuration
      • If Event ID 41 has zeros and there is Event ID 46 from volmgr saying Crash dump initialization failed!, check the pagefile configuration.
      • The default dump file is the pagefile, and if dump initialization fails, Windows may not record the bugcheck type or create a memory dump.
    8. If the cause is still unclear, check the hardware-related items documented for random restarts
      • Disable any overclocking.
      • Check memory health and configuration.
      • Check the power supply capacity.
      • Check for overheating.
      • If all checks fail to isolate the issue, return the system to its default configuration and test again.

    Based on the provided event data, the strongest supported conclusion is:

    • this is not just a generic Kernel-Power event,
    • it is a bugcheck-driven restart,
    • and Safe Mode stability makes normal-boot drivers/services the most relevant next area to investigate.
