Hello, I'm having what appears to not be an uncommon problem. We have two HP DL360 G5 servers running 2008 R2 that lodge Event 41 (Kernel-Power) every time the server restarts. The KB article here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028504 does not answer my problem. I've spent hours on the phone with second level tech support at HP, diagnosing, updating firmware & drivers, shutting off ASR, and basically doing the hokey-pokey until we're blue in the face. I cannot find any reason why this error is thrown every time these servers reboot. I've watched the reboot process at the console and no discernable errors occur. The server reboots just fine but each time I log back in the error has occurred again. There are no bugcheck codes in the event viewer either. Anyone out there experiencing similar? I see all sorts of chatter over on the Windows 7 side but these are servers. Any direction or advice would be nice. Thank you!

Hello Spiderkingbeemer, Can you post the Event ID details for the Event 41?Thanks, Darrell Gorter This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi, To narrow down the cause, please refer to the following steps: 1. Is there any external device attached or connected to this server? If any, please try to disconnected them temporarily to test. Any progress? 2. If not, please disable all third party software, boot the system into Clean Boot, restart again, do we get the error? What’s the result? If the error still occur, let’s test boot into Safe Mode and then restart. If it appears in Safe Mode, we may have to install a new system. If the error show up in new system, I’m afraid it’s a hardware problem. Thanks.This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
