Drive issue, or is it new GPU? Flummoxed

[sastusbulbas]

Except in recent years event 41 kernel issues have been occurring for many pc users and it has had nothing to do with bios or hardware.

Simply Googling it shows many "experts" advising solutions that did nothing but cost the sufferer hundreds of pounds.

No explanation yet about why turning off quick start and hibernation resolves the boot issue for some people.

Event 41 only means that the OS was not properly shutdown. Microsoft have this article which provides detail: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/troubleshoot-event-id-41-restart
People who think that event 41 relates to the cause of the problem have misunderstood, it merely reports that the current cycle from on to off to on again was not done under OS control.

Not under OS control when its happening under update restarts and OS shutdown.

Try a different SATA port and cable.

As I said, nothing in Event Viewer other than Power Event occurred.

Try a different SATA port and cable.

What? It's an M2 vNAND whatever you want to call it, it's on the board.

I have fixed it after multiple Bios Flashes, the problem continued.

Took the machine apart again and noticed the M2 was about 1 mil out of it's socket. Flipping screw isn't particularly tight. Reseated (after 20 minutes of fiddling with that tiny screw) and it's all happy days.

Appreciate everyone who took time to respond though. Cheers chaps.

Sounds like some quality tolerance there.
At least it's all good now.
