Windows 10: Hardware Live Kernel event causing windows 10 version 1909 to crash

Hi,

My PC crashes with one screen going black and the second one freezing with whatever I have open at the time, nothing can be done but everything seems normal once turned on and off by long pressing power button. PC boots in safe mode and brings my to bios. This has happened multiple times before and seemingly for no reason.
Report from reliability says:

I have tried looking for a fix, but simply cannot find anything. It happens infrequently but is concerning.

Many thanks,

Hardware Error Caused Live Kernel Event

Hi Anthony,

Sometimes even newly-bought hardware can be faulty and affect your computer's performance. Have you checked if this error happens when using a different video adapter?

As an initial recommendation, we suggest that you use the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter, which is a built-in troubleshooter specifically built to find and fix common hardware issues. To do this, follow these steps:

• Click Start.
• Go to Settings.
• Click Update & Security.
• Click Troubleshoot.
• Click Hardware & Devices from the list.
• Click Run the troubleshooter.

Additionally, this may also be happening due to outdated drivers. Follow the steps in this

article to update your drivers, then check if the issue persists.

Let us know if the error disappears after following these steps.

I've been having frequent crashes and traced it back to this log. The only thing I've recently replaced in my PC was the power supply. I did downgrade in wattage but based on the wattage ratings of my other components, it shouldn't be an issue.

Besides the power supply, my only other clue is that in the reliability monitor, it also shows that many instances of "Radeon Settings: Host Application" all show "stopped working". The GPU is still relatively new (8 months), I've tried rolling back to a
previous state, and I've reinstalled all drivers and tried older versions to see if it's caused by bugs with new drivers.

My PC specs are as follows:

Ryzen 7 1700x

GTX 1050 ti

2x8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4

Prime x370-Pro Motherboard

Corsair CX450M PSU
