Hey guys,

so once I made a thread like this and someone told me to rma the card, so I did (I did it because I was getting livekernelevent141). Then they told me the gpu was faulty and they swapped it for a new one. And now I am getting the livekernelevent 141 again...im running out of options and I need help really bad :(

specs :

GPU : Asrock rx 5600 xt challenger d 6g oc (bios updated)
CPU : Ryzen 5 2600x
MOBO : gigabyte b450m ds3-h
RAM : G.skill aegis ddr4-3200mhz 16gb (F4-3200C16D-16GIS) and btw I changed the voltage to 1.36 instead of 1.35, because games were crashing with 1.35
PSU : GIGABYTE p650b

and I found this in a crash dump, idk if it will be any help :

VIDEO_MINIPORT_FAILED_LIVEDUMP (1b0)

and yesterday I got :

VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED (141)

Stress test all of your hardware.

Scan or viruses and possible miners.

did ya ever try to run your ram at lower mhz like default because if it crashes at 1,35volt it will not be fully stable at 1,36v !
whats your soc volt at?
there is more to ram overclocking then push more volts

It crashes even without xmp profile enabled so I dont think that ram is the problem here, and I got this error : VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED (141), and it looks like it has to do something with gpu but I could be wrong : /

and soc voltage is at default I didnt change anything there only ram voltage

At this stage you wanna start swapping parts out find a friend that has a spare GPu, ram & power supply you could borrow and swap them in one at a time to test till it stops crashing. though 141 code. Normally in windows logs 141 means power loss or sudden loss of power from bad shutdown etc etc.

Maybe a corrupt driver installation? If you haven't already I would try uninstalling the vga drivers with ddu in safe mode. Then boot back into OS and install the latest drivers.

Or maybe corrupted system files. Do the following to check
  • Right-click on Start and then select Command Prompt (Admin).
  • Type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, and then press Enter. This will fix any corruptions that it finds.
  • Type SFC /Scannow on the prompt, and then press Enter. This scan will repair system files.

idk if this will be any help, but first game lagged for like a second and then I have seen something like white noise (on monitor) and sound went like : zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
and then the sound stopped and I got no signal on monitor. And I forgot to mention, that when the screen lost signal, every fan in my case was spinning and led lights were turned on as well

This could also mean that the CPU or GPU is unstable and unable to hold its clocks. We wont know which ones which till you start swapping parts out and testing. Since you've already RMA'd the graphics card id say try swapping out the RAM first or test them with one module plugged in at a time with MEMTEST86 or play a game for a while.

Also 2nd gen Ryzen is notoriously picky with ram and i went through at least 3 different sets of ram before I had a set that ran stable with a machine I was building for a client.

Due to the headache with memory compatibility. enabling XMP might also be counter productive as XMP was primarily an intel thing. Sometimes enabling XMP will cause 2nd Gen Ryzen to be unstable so go into your bios and manually enter in the specifications of your ram. Check that your ram is on the Motherboard manufacturers QVL list.


Your power supply is supposedly an OK one. Not great but not terrible either so i dont think that could be the cause. Nothing you can do but just rule each part out by process of elimination till you find out whats faulty.

Ok, Im going to try it.
Btw, is it ok if my ram has the QVL list (on its website) and my mobo is listed on it?

sooo

the worst problem is that its crashing randomly

today it crashed like after one hour of playing and sometimes it crashes even when I just start the game and another time it goes without crashes for 2 hours straight
and I always get the VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED (141)

I even tried to set the frequency and timings manually on the ram but it still crashes

and temps are alright btw

I just dont know what to do at this point :(

@OxGeNiD - what have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?

So if I understand correctly you had the 141 error and rma'd the vga card to the manufacturer. They found the card was defective and sent you a replacement and now the new one is doing the exact same thing? If that is the case I think its possible that your power supply or mobo might be causing your vga to go bad. First, if possible try your graphics card in another system and if you get the 141 error then the replacement card is pooched and will need to be rma'd again. I would do this first before trying another graphics card in your system.

Have you tried running Memtest? Remember to test each dimm separately.

I RMA,d the gpu

I ran RAM on 2133mhz

stress tested cpu and ram

I tried changing the hdmi cable

I tried reinstalling the gpu drivers like 100x times

I tried scanning for corrupted files and viruses

I tried changing the ram voltage

I even tried turning off options like fast boot and changing power plans...

And I tried changing the monitor

And I tried unconnecting the gpu and then connecting it back


This could also mean that the CPU or GPU is unstable and unable to hold its clocks.

And I noticed that when I play CS:GO it never crashes, maybe its because of my gpu staying at low % usage

This has me thinking your psu may not be supplying enough juice to the card. Is it a modular psu? Can you try a different pcie cable? Or different pcie connector on the psu?

Have you tried putting the card in a different slot on the mobo?

its non-modular i think, and im going to try those two things later
Motherboard bios up to date?
yes it is

and btw I talked too soon, it crashed even when playing csgo and now I got BSOD with error code : VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE

MOBO : gigabyte b450m ds3-h
RAM : G.skill aegis ddr4-3200mhz 16gb (F4-3200C16D-16GIS) and btw I changed the voltage to 1.36 instead of 1.35, because games were crashing with 1.35

and yesterday I got :

VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED (141)

i am disappointed how everybody ignores the fact that this is just the AMD Experience with NAVI.
there is probably no hardware issue, no ram issue, no cpu or Mobo issue...

It's just the absolute BS Driver experience that AMD delivers here.

the drivers are fundamentally broken and your hardware is 99.9% fine.

especially because i have the exact same Bluescreens with all of my 4 AMD Cards.
and all my Nvidia cards work perfectly fine (1050 ti, 1060, 1070, 1080 Ti, 1660 Ti, 2070 Super and 2080 Ti)

Does your pc has sufficient cooling? Also which version of OS?
VIDEO_TRD_FAILURE can occure for various reasons, here is the reasons :https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi.../debugger/bug-check-0x116---video-tdr-failure Try to diagnose those.
My gpu goes MAX 74 degrees on full load, but usually its at 70 degrees

It looks like my only option is to run memtest to check if my memory is faulty but ive heard that it could take hours...

I had a similar problem with my 5600XT pulse from Sapphire. Random crashes in Unigine and games. Base clocks were 1750Mhz core and 1500Mhz vmem. No matter what I did it had been crashing randomly.
My medicine was swapping the PSU from an old Corsair AXi 760W to a Seasonic 750W GOLD. After that (without any computer components tweaks all set as always) all gone. Now I run it 1750/1750 Core/Vmem. No more crashes, black screens or such. I ran Unigine for 10h straight and nothing happened. I'd try that.

At first I thought the issues were software or driver related too but that was before I realized he had done an RMA. If crappy drivers were the problem then the manufacturer would have tested the card and found no issues with the RMA and they would have returned the original card. Instead they found something defective with it and replaced his card.

And now that he is having the same issues with the replacement card that tells me that another system component is the cause of the problems. Could be a psu gone bad, maybe a faulty card slot on the mobo or the mobo itself.

Ok, first I suggest trying the 5600 in another slot on the mobo and run some games and benchmarks. If that doesn't work you could try removing one stick of ram and run games and benches again. Then do the same with the other stick of ram.
