GA-H97-D3H - Event 41 - Kernel Power critical error
« on: January 10, 2016, 06:22:25 am »
Hello! I bought a motherboard with BIOS version F5 and everything worked well. After updating the BIOS F5 to F7 error occurred: Event 41 - Kernel Power critical error.
I can not go back to the BIOS F5. What to do? How to return to F5?
My system:
Product Name:   GA-H97-D3H (1.0)
BIOS Ver:   F7
CPU:   HASWELL i5-4570
Operation System:   Win 10 64-bit
Memory   Kingston KVR16N11/8

P.S.
Sorry for my bad English

Did you update the bios because it was there to update or were you having a problem? Plus you can't go back it tells you that for F6 sorry. The only thing I can say is call or email support.

Although it states that you can't return to an earlier version after you update BIOS to F6 I have come across this kind of situation before.

Although you can't use QFlash or the @BIOS utility to re-flash the BIOS I have managed to roll back to an earlier version of BIOS by creating a DOS bootable USB pendrive, using rufus and then using the EfiFlash tool that is downloaded along with the BIOS files. This would be worth a try if you really want to go back to F5 BIOS.

Another thing to try is going back to the F6 BIOS and see if the problem is present in that BIOS version. You should be able to do this using the QFlash utility.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.
