#PC Crashing: Fans going to 100%, black screen, LiveKernelEvent 141

Recently I have had this worrying issue happen more and more often. Sometimes in-game or just when sitting idle my PC will crash to a black screen, with the fans going to 100% and I have to power it off manually.

In Reliability History it is shown as a Hardware Error, LiveKernelEvent 141 (screenshot attached).

I got this PC at the start of December and had the same issue a few weeks in, but it went away for over a month. I am not sure what fixed it - all I did was run the usual troubleshooting steps and re-installed my GPU drivers, which seemed to fix it. But in the past week it has been happening more recently, as seen from the Reliability History timeline.

I have tried the following (seeing if it's a software issue):

  • Updated to latest Windows 11 yesterday
  • Updated to the latest Nvidia GPU drivers
  • Ran sfc /scannow

I monitored the GPU/CPU temps and all is fine, and it can run for hours in-game without crashing.

Worryingly, sometimes after a crash I will restart the PC and it will crash with the same issue again almost immediately after loading into the desktop. But then it can go hours before another crash.

My PC specs are:
CPU: AMD AM5 RYZEN 7 7800X3D
GPU: NVIDIA MSI RTX 4070 TI 12GB VENTUS 2X OC
MOBO: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK
PSU: CORSAIR 850W RME (RM850E)
Windows 11

Any further troubleshooting tips would be appreciated - from a brief look on the internet it seems that it could be a variety of different things, both software and hardware related. If there's a way to track down what is causing the issue, either through event viewer or crash logs etc that would be great.

Thanks in advance

this same thing happened to me, kept happening then fixed itself then came back and the pc wouldnt come on at all, apparently either a dying gpu or something with the ram. i factory reset my pc to see if itd work and nope, its hardware related i think. i sent my pc back to cyberpower for repair because of it.

@placid elbow The PC still turns on fine for me. Yesterday it crashed with the fans going full blast and the LiveKernelEvent error probably 5 times between 10 and 11am, it seems after it crashes once it is then prone to crash again shortly after restarting. But the weird thing is I left it alone for a bit (after running some disc cleaning commands) and was able to game for like 5 hours later in the day without any issues at all, so it’s very intermittent and inconsistent.

this is exactly what was happening with me, sometimes came on fine and worked other just crashing and black screening and stuff. i had a weird problem w my pc too my fans were at full blast all the time and it wouldnt let me turn them down lol getting them to have a look at that too

#

i did the DDU thing and stuff for the gpu and nothing would fix it so if u got it from cyberpower request a repair bro
