Solved Crash then re-boot on Windows 11

I see you're running AMD video drivers. Disable hardware acceleration on EVERYTHING you have running in the background. Chrome, Edge, Discord, Steam (all launchers), ANYTHING. This is a known issue and has recently resurfaced with the latest AMD drivers.

Is this the system you are having issues with?

Have you done any BIOS updates?
I had lockups bad too...
You may need to get a BIOS update..
What BIOS version are you running currently?

I looked up your motherboard on the ASUS support website
and found this BIOS updates page..
ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WI-FI) | ROG Crosshair | Gaming Motherboards｜ROG - Republic of Gamers｜ROG USA

ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO(WI-FI) BIOS 4201
1. Update AGESA version to ComboV2PI 1207.
2. Improve system stability.

if this is not the motherboard or system you are having trouble with can you provide the motherboards full name and BIOS version?
CPUz can get you that info if you can run it.. if not :(


could be your display drivers too..
or maybe your Anti-virus I use only the MS Windows Defender for Windows 11 Pro..

Hi, yes. I'm running the latest bios version 4201. So it could be this GPUs graphic drivers? Gigabyte Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming OC 16GB, I'm running version 22.11.1

ok good glad to hear you are already running the latest BIOS...
but since it still occurs...
its probably the AV or the gfx driver.. or both...

Disabled hardware acceleration in Edge and Steam, hopefully that will work.

Look in Event Viewer>Administrative Events in there look for dates and time when this happened and for critical and errors.
Know had Event critical of Kernel-Power 41 (63) before.

This error can happen from PC not cleanly shutting down and even when you get a freeze have to restart it manually.
Kernel- power event 41 doesn't always mean power issue (psu).

Need to see what else is throwing an error besides kernel 41. Ask yourself when first started happening was any changes made to system drivers, hardware....etc..

I'm pretty confident this is your fix. The symptoms you described matched mine exactly and the solution is posted all over AMD/Reddit. Good luck though. :)

I think I only have it in Steam and Edge, Will have to disable in Brave and Opera once I install it. Hopefully it'll be fixed with AMD new display drivers.

UPDATE - Will give it till the start of the new year, if no problems will mark as solved. It's looking great up to now no problems.

Hi, seems you was right, had no problems since. This issue seems to be resolved. Thanks to all who helped.

When you talk about the mouse pointer freezing, do you actually see the mouse pointer, or is this a blank screen with the monitor backlight lit.

There is a new bug where it locks up with a blank screen, but the backlight remains lit. An infamous Windows 11 issue.

Getting hits on Reddit about this phenomenon:

https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/107ifym

https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/x8y52c

I also wouldn't be surprised if this is related to a new bug, introduced with Windows 11, where selecting a high refresh rate, causes black/blank screen. This reminds me of a problem I saw with 11 21H2, (the old 11) where changing the refresh rate, randomly causes a black/blank screen freeze. In the case of 21H2, IIRC, it happened right when I was changing the refresh rate. But I didn't see that occur when changing the refresh rate with 22H2. It seems random.
