Windows 10: Inconsistent LiveKernelEvent 141 Short Freezes While Playing Specific Game (Rocket League)

Hello,


I have been dealing with a very peculiar and inconsistent issue for quite a while, and couldn't find a solution for it on these forums, so I thought I would make a post about it.


While using a specific application, Rocket League, I sometimes get short freezes which I can fix by Alt-Tabbing the game out of focus, and then alt-tabbing back in. The rate at which these occur seems entirely random. Some days I won't have the issue happen at all, others it will happen every 5 or so minutes. This is, of course, very frustrating so I have tried to fix this issue many times.


I have discovered that when the issue occurs, a problem report is saved within Windows Problem Reporting and Event Viewer. It describes the problem as a Hardware Error, which seems very strange to me considering the only time I EVER have this issue is while playing this specific game.


The error code is code 141, or LiveKernelEvent. I will re-paste the Event Viewer Log from one of these errors here.

Something important I want to clarify is that I only have to deal with a short, temporary freeze, fixed by alt tabbing in and out of the game (although this is pretty slow as it can take a couple of tries). It does not actually crash my computer, or the program itself.



Now, a description of what I have already tried in an effort to fix the issue. I have:


Reinstalled Windows 10 using the built-in re-installer (I kept my files while doing this)

Reinstalled the actual game that ends up causing the issue

Fully Reinstalled my graphics card drivers.

Restarted the computer while the issue has been occurring.

Run both sfc /scannow and chkdsk. Neither found any issues.

Stopped all programs except those that shouldn't cause any issues, things like discord and steam are allowed to run while playing the game. (Issue still occurs without discord, and steam is required)


My PC Specs:


i7-4790k @ 4.00GHz

16 GB Ram

GTX 770


Thank you for your help and suggestions.

If possible, I would rather not Re-install windows without keeping my files.

PC Freeze while playing Rocket League/Overwatch

It happens in nearly every game I try to play, if I just normally use my PC for browsing/watching movies or whatever I can use it just fine for entire days. It seems to happen only if I try to play a game. Using programs like HeavyLoad and FurMark for 30 minutes won't result in my PC freezing, but running a game like Rocket League, Overwatch or DOTA2 will cause me to freeze within 5 minutes or so. Rocket League is on my SSD, Overwatch and DOTA2 are on another HDD so the issue probably isn't disk related either.

 

Rocket League

I recently bought rocket league. So, I found out that rocket league was only for my Xbox 1, and was not playable for my computer. I really just wanted to play it on my pc. I am requesting for a refund please, as I cannot play it.

Thanks,

Anusuya

 

PC Completely Freezes while playing Rocket League only


There was a very similar post about this issue, however my issue looks different as I wasn't able to solve it.
Here is that post:
PC Freeze while playing Rocket League/Overwatch Solved - Windows 10 Forums

I followed some of the instructions there, ran the Driver Verifier, I almost immediately got BSOD 3 times in a row after enabling Driver Verifier. I have the BSOD dump files in the attachment, however I do not know how to make sense of it.


Some history on the issue:

This issue has been going on for almost 2 years. It started happening rarely, but it didn't completely freeze the computer. It was only a display driver crashing and restoring itself. Lately, it has gotten worse. Half the time, the display drivers cannot restore themselves and everything just freezes while some sound effects are still happening. Unlike the other post, I do not have this issue on Overwatch. Only on Rocket League among 15 different games I regularly play.

Another point to the issue, whenever the display driver crashes and manages to restore itself, shadowplay doesn't turn back itself on. If that's any indication of something, I don't know.

Here is also a quick picture of the crash dumps.
