The LiveKernelEvent 141 error is a thorn in the side of many gamers. It mainly shows up in the middle of gaming or when players try to launch a video game. The error could also appear when you try to launch any other application.<\/p>\n

This article contains guides that will show you how to fix the LiveKernelEvent 141 crash error in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Disable overclocking<\/h2>\n

An overclocked GPU or CPU could trigger the error. When you overclock your CPU or GPU, you’re increasing the strain on the device to enjoy temporarily improved performance.<\/p>\n

If you want to enjoy better frame rates and efficient gameplay, go for a device that meets the game’s recommended requirements. You can also employ other performance-boosting methods, such as reducing the load on your CPU, freeing up disk space, and reducing graphic-intensive settings in the game.<\/p>\n

Restore your CPU and GPU clock speeds to their defaults, and the error should go away for good. If it doesn’t, leave the clock speeds at their defaults and move on to the next solution.<\/p>\n

Reinstall your GPU driver<\/h2>\n

Your graphics card is at the center of your system’s performance when it comes to gaming. The LiveKernelEvent 141 error is one of the results of a faulty GPU driver. The driver controls communication that flows between the operating system and the video card. It helps the device interpret video processing instructions.<\/p>\n

Once the driver becomes corrupt or obsolete, its chances of producing such an error increase, especially during gameplay.<\/p>\n

So, your first step should involve reinstalling the driver. This means you’ll have to uninstall the piece of software and reinstall it.<\/p>\n

Follow these steps to uninstall it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Right-click on the Windows logo key in your taskbar or press Win + X<\/code> on your keyboard.<\/li>\n
  2. The Power User<\/em> menu will now slide out.<\/li>\n
  3. Click on Device Manager<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  4. Once the Device Manager<\/em> window shows up, expand the Display Adapters<\/em> category.<\/li>\n
  5. Right-click on your graphics adapter and select Uninstall Device<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  6. Check the box beside “Delete the driver software for this device<\/em>” once the Uninstall Device<\/em> confirmation box appears.<\/li>\n
  7. Click on Uninstall<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  8. After the process is complete, restart your computer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After restarting your system, Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver automatically. If nothing happens, your system’s display will be affected. Move on to the next solution.<\/p>\n

    Roll back the GPU driver<\/h2>\n

    Installing the previous version of the GPU driver is one way to check whether you’re experiencing compatibility problems with the driver update you recently installed. These steps will show you how to roll back the GPU driver:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Right-click on the Windows logo in your taskbar or press Win + X<\/code> on your keyboard.<\/li>\n
    2. The Power User<\/em> menu will now slide out.<\/li>\n
    3. Click on Device Manager<\/em>.<\/li>\n
    4. Once the Device Manager<\/em> window shows up, expand the Display Adapters<\/em> category.<\/li>\n
    5. Right-click on your graphics adapter and select Properties<\/em>.<\/li>\n
    6. After the graphics card’s Properties<\/em> window opens, go to the Driver<\/em> tab and click on the Roll Back Driver<\/em> button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If the Roll Back Driver button is greyed out, you can do things manually. Return to the driver’s Properties tab to check your driver version. After that, head to the GPU manufacturer’s website to search for the previous driver and download it. Make sure you also note your GPU’s make and model, your system architecture, and your OS version.<\/p>\n

      Update the GPU driver<\/h2>\n

      Updating the driver should fix the problem if it’s a result of obsolete driver components. Sometimes, games require new software capabilities to communicate with the graphics card, and GPU manufacturers release driver updates.<\/p>\n

      If you haven’t updated your device driver for a while now, you should do so.<\/p>\n

      First, go through the Windows Update client to install updates for your computer. Updates are essential in the sense that they patch bugs and enhance performance. The client will also help you install the latest version of your graphics card driver if Microsoft has published it. If you don\u2019t know how to update your system, these steps will help:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Launch the Settings<\/em> app using the Windows + I<\/code> keyboard combo.<\/li>\n
      2. After the first page of Windows Settings<\/em> opens, click on the Update & Security<\/em> icon.<\/li>\n
      3. When you see the Windows Update<\/em> client, allow it to check for updates and download them.<\/li>\n
      4. If you have optional updates, such as Quality and Feature<\/em> updates, click on the Download and Install<\/em> button.<\/li>\n
      5. Once the client downloads the updates, click on the Restart Now<\/em> button to allow it to reboot your PC and start the installation process.<\/li>\n
      6. Note that your computer will likely reboot multiple times before the installation process completes.<\/li>\n
      7. After the process completes, your computer will boot up normally.<\/li>\n
      8. You can now start the game or app to check for the problem.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If updating your system doesn’t work, you have other alternatives. Using a third-party application designed to find driver-related problems and fix them is your best bet. Auslogics Driver Updater<\/a> will not only update your obsolete graphics card driver but also find other problematic device drivers on your system and update them as well.<\/p>\n
