Kernel_power 41 (63) for 5(?) years and im at a loss and cant afford a new pc at this moment
My pc, a Lenovo legion ryzen 7 8- core processor. 650 watt psu, geforce rtx 3060, with 16 gb ram and a 512 ssd currently, (im not sure what else to include for specs) has been having the same exact issue for 6 years now, kernal power error 41 (63) with occasionally "no bios operating system found" on start up, it all started during a factory reset when my house lost power during the install, then my ram got corrupted so i replaced that thinking it was the issue, i took it in for repairs and they replaced its original 256 gb ssd saying it was corrupted. my audio drive got corrupted and i fixed that with a fresh install, as of yesterday i did a complete wipe and fresh install of windows 11 because before i was missing essential files, couldnt even do a save state. what else can i do without replacing this, or should i cut my losses and save up the 1k needed for a new tower.

I will say it has never been a overheating issue, pc stays in the 40 range, and my cpu usage is at 1-8 % from 100% after the windows 11 fresh install.

post a cpuz validation link
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
cpuz -> validate button -> submit button
it will open a browser, copy the url (address) and paste it here

and psu brand/model/age

did you get all the drivers from the mobo mfg or oem site?
chipset, audio, lan, bt/wifi

https://valid.x86.fr/yr84af im not sure how to check psu model or age, to be honest i didnt build this, it was a prebuilt from bestbuy and i know nothing about pcs indepth.
oh it did come with a 1tb harddrive but that got corrupted too
I had Kernel error during booting (on the occasion) until I disabled Window's fast startup. If that is on, the system never really shuts down fully, never starting with a fresh Kernel.

Similar to this guy who had an issue with it: https://www.reddit.com/r/PcBuildHelp/comments/zga8wn/comment/kvnb8vu/

ye i do have fast boot off.
Start by having someone test a new PSU. That could've been done very early on. Especially after adding the RTX 3060

Is it Win10 or 11?
When is the last time you did a OS drive wipe and did a fresh clean OS install?
Let us start here for a better understanding.

PRONGs. that what those objects that get seated into everything other known as RGB.
Have any of those?
it was windows 10 prior. i did a complete wipe yesterday and a fresh install of windows 11 through usb. the rtx 3060 came with it. the only real upgrade was the ssd going from 256 to 500gb. buy yes il try a new psu next time i have funds.
Download and install ALL drivers.

Avoid the very latest NVIDIA Driver unless you bave RTX 40/50. 576.28 is rather stable.

Get drivers for Chipset, Audio, LAN, WIFI, BT, etc
like the wiring hooked up from the psu to the motherboard and the gpu. or the wiring hooked up to the fans. (which do have rgb but i have all rgb completely off through bios)
im not sure where to get all the drivers
Keep in mind dram'less SSDs are most likely more capable of getting corrupt versus others such as WD Blue, Black or the various Samsung ssds. Which for these generally wouldn't happen early on at random unless you maybe had a faulty drive from the start

Has it been fine every since you did the fresh install? If so, wait until it happens again and try to remember the specifics of when it actually happened.
