Windows 10: Cannot narrow down LiveKernelEvent errors!

I was wondering if anyone can help me with these LiveKernelEvent errors that I have been having off and on ever since a windows update. I also got a new nvidia 3080 with an 850 watt psu around the same time. I was CTD mostly in various high demand games, but I haven't seen those CTD since replacing the new 850 watt psu with another. Now I am getting BSODs randomly when my PC is idle.I have a fresh install of windows. I tried DDUing my gpu driver and installing it again in safemode. I reinstalled my chipset driver and Visual C++ Redistributable. Individually tested each ram stick of the 4 4gb s

:)

 

Having a sporadic error, LiveKernelEvent.

Funny thing: I just blogged about it yesterday. Nvidia LiveKernelEvent 141 Error Returns. I was convinced it was GeForce or the Nvidia installer that was the culprit, but I was wrong about that. I'm still looking for a solution, too, but can say the four fixes at Windows Central (or was it Windows Report) don't fix things either. For me, the error only occurs once every 2-3 months so I'm living with it while searching for the fix.

Hi,



There are several factors that may cause this issue. To narrow the concern and to assist you effectively, we’d like to ask a few questions.

• What changes have you made prior to this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
• Did the issue persist in safe mode?

For now, we suggest that you check this article

Windows Hardware Error LiveKernelEvent Error 117

I received two critical errors in reliability monitor between the space of three days. The description in RM is “a problem with your hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly”
I noted the exact time stamp of the occurances and found in Event Viewer under Windows Logs>System the NVIDIA graphics driver ‘nvlddmkn’ stopped responding and successfully recovered. I believe this process of detection and recovery is TDR. The GPU scheduler calls the display miniports drivers to reinitialize the driver and reset the GPU.

I don’t know whether it might be virtually impossible to find what caused the Windows Hardware Errors without some sort of understanding of the circumstances that caused it. A starting point would be narrowing down hardware or software.
My system specs are visible on the forum. The discrete graphics card is a GTX 1060 6GB. I think the minimum recommended power spec is a 400W PSU. My PSU is rated 460W. I’m not a games player. I’ve never experienced a BSoD leading up to or after these LiveKernelEvents. The only accessories connected are a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and printer. The desktop tower’s fans always run extremely quiet.

The concern isn’t whether it was operating within its 460W limits, but the response when a change in demand occurred while just performing basic fundamental tasks. I’m guessing there may be a power transient response issue. Basic fundamental tasks like web surfing, retrieving emails, opening saved files in Windows file explorer were being perfomed just prior to these errors. Now there are 2-3 second delays from keyboard strokes and even no keyboard response at all from the command prompt window.

The PC manufacturer incorporated a built-in diagnostics that can be performed on all the hardware from outside Windows in the advanced boot menu. The scans only test basic functionality of components and it also doesn’t perform stress tests. All tests passed when I ran the hardware scan.
I don’t know if the consistency of the two events on the two different days when the graphics driver stopping and recovered could be considered a validated fault. Nevertheless, I performed a clean uninstall/install of the graphics driver on the same day immediately after the second LikeKernelEvent error occurred.

Its been five days since the second LiveKernelEvent 117 without any re-occurrences.
When I read about the Furmark GPU stress Test on this forum and performing the benchmark, my first concern was a slowdown of the graphics card due to putting the GPU under immense stress and hitting an over-temperature or disabling over-current protection mechanisms designed in the card and causing permanent damage.

It’s not like I have a box of spare components sitting around to start swapping out. Even if I had a higher rated modular PSU, replacing it is an undertaking in itself, but that’s my opinion. Removing the motherboard, heat sink, and fan, plus adding an adapter for the factory installed optical drive.

Any suggestions on doing a fault-find to address correcting the errors?

the post was treated too newb and
suggestions offered wouldn't likely have been helpful

try for a clean install of Win10 to see whether there's any improvement. Thanks . You're quite welcome *sarc
