Annoying issue

[BoopityDoop]

Ok, so as of late i've noticed that my Desktop is becoming more and more unstable in terms of gaming.

 

Sometimes, games won't even make it past loading up and will crash on startup.

 

And In the Security and Mantenance control panel, under 'Report Problems", i am getting Critical Event's with the summary of 'Hardware Error', the technical details of these are as follows:

 

Description
A problem with your hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly.

Problem Event Name: LiveKernelEvent
Code: 141
Parameter 1: ffffc48f037ab010

I have;

- i5-8600k (4.8GHz)

- GTX 1060 6GB (ddu'd and reinstalled already)

- 16GB's HyperX Fury @ 3200MHz

 

Already clean installed of Windows, verified integrity of the games that have the issues, updated all drivers etc. etc. the issue sill remains, and at this point is getting annoying. Just hoping it isn't anything really bad.

 

Note: both the 8600k & was 1060 where overclocked and running fine before. I made both back to stock, retested, to make sure it wasn't just bad OC's (even though these have been stable for months...) and the issue continues to still happen.

Can you test with the 8600K at stock? To rule out the possibility of an unstable CPU overclock

Yes. I've already tested at stock, same issue continued. GPU was overclocked too, tested that at stock as well - i'll put that at the bottom of the post now, forgot to mention that

Cool. Can you download and run AIDA64's stress test? See if it gives out any errors while running. If it does, get back and tell us which. If it doesn't we'll keep digging

[Energycore]

Also, are the crashes usually black screen, BSOD, or just game crash? Does your computer try to boot into safe mode afterward in case of a black screen / BSOD?

i'll run that in the background for ya, and get back to you.

Six minutes into it, rock solid stable, zero issues so far.

As for the crashes, the games won't even make it past starting up. Games simply black screen, then freeze the desktop - so i have to ALT+TAB, create a virtual desktop and then close the process through Task Manager there. Zero BSOD's have happened through all of this. I tried booting into Safe Mode to test if they would run, same issue.

Just incase a MSINFO/DXDIAG could help, those are as follows:

How do your thermals look on your GPU at idle and under load?  When you ran AIDA64, did you click Stress GPU?

At idle about 40c, under load anywhere between 60-72c - depends on load. Under AIDA64, temps where between 70-72c on GPU when stressing that.

Try installing an older video card driver to rule out the current one just being buggy.

Use DDU in safe mode to wipe out the old one first again.

Preferably the last one you remember working well.
