  1. PC keeps freezing when playing games


    Recently my pc has started freezing when playing games but in a weird way.

    At first my pc would just freeze outright after a few hours of playing games but i could still hear audio from the game and my friends talking on discord.

    but now the moment i open a game, first my lighting effects will freeze but i can continue playing, then after a little while the game will freeze but i can still hear the audio from the game and my friends talking like before.

    I've seen both livekernelevent 144 and 141 in my error logs. Anyone know a fix to this?

    Can't play Hit It Rich game and system freezes

    Hi carmenstanley1,

    Thank you for your response.

    I can understand how frustrating it would be. This issue might be due to corrupted profile or if the game is not installed completely. I suggest you to follow these steps and let us know if it works.

    Could you please help me with the below questions:

    • Are you aware of any changes happened on the computer prior to this issue?
    • Have you tried playing this game on other browser (Google chrome or Mozilla) and check for the issue?

    Step 1: Uninstall or Repair the game.


    1. Press Windows and
      R key together on your Keyboard.
    2. Type appwiz.cpl and hit enter.
    3. Right click on the Hit it Rich app > Select Repair or uninstall it.
    4. Reinstall the application and check for the issue.

    Step 2: Create a new local account.

    The reason might be due to user account corruption, so I would suggest you to ‘Create
    a local user or administrator account’
    and check if the issue persists.

    Note: You will not see all your files under your default file location.
    So your data will be saved under C:\Users\User_name.

    If you are facing issues with freezing, I would suggest you to follow the troubleshooting steps on

    Hope it helps.
