event 41 three times in one day, wifi breaks, how do I get crash and error logs?

[Thomas24g020]

The computer has always randomly shut down of frozen from time to time since, i believe, month one (I dont recall that well). It has never been sent in for warranty (and the warranty is expired, it was bought new in March 2018 and it is now april 2019).

In the three months prior event 41 kernel power had occured three times. Today it happened three times in less than 12 hours. After the third, it couldn't see wifi networks even if wifi was turned on. A few restarts later, the wifi adapter appeared to simply be disabled and would not enable if you tried.

What do I need to do to understand and read the error crash logs? Take apart the machine? Migrate the HDD to a new system?

Is this sounding like a hardware problem and do you know what it might be?

Welcome to HP Support Community

I suggest you run a System Test to confirm the Hardware Functionality

- Shut down the completely completely
- Turn it back on, then tap the Esc key repeatedly until the Startup menu screen is displayed.
- Press F2 to select System Diagnostics.
- Click System Tests

If all the Tests pass, then perform a Reset on the Computer. Please follow the instructions in this Link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c04742289

Keep me posted how it goes and have a great day 😊
