Not really. It throws out a generic error code.
Source: Kernel-Power
Event ID 41
Critical error
That's what I found on a german board.

He more or less says that there are software remnants of the onboard card still interfering. I deactivated everything in BIOS and disabled the card completely in hardware monitor, but I didn't remove all of the software, out of fear for my chipset and the audio drivers.
Also I found another possible source for an overheating problem. My own thoughtlessness. My flat has floor heating and this being the winter, it's running. Not the best time to park the rig on the floor. I also installed an auxillary fan at the back of the case, but looking at speedfan, it doesn't do very much.
In any case, Kernel power error 41 can have all kinds of reasons. From overheating to conflicting drivers.
