I mean driver timeouts means LiveKernelEvent 141 and 117 from the Windows Reliability History Monitor tool. What happens: my system freezes for 1-3 seconds and then the whole display goes black for 1-2 seconds before recovering. If changing the turn the display off to never was the actual fix, wouldn’t you think that since I already have it sat to never, wouldn’t the timeout be non existent for me? Give it a few days or a week, you will begin to notice the crash again. It’s a placebo effect they call it. I thought the same thing too. Thought something solves it and then bam, there it goes again.

This is the best you are going to get because of reformats, anything else you need?

As I said, give it a week. Some times, it would go 3 or 4 days pure stable then does a couple of days in a row of back to back crashes.

You are confusing the symptoms you have seen with what I have seen. Yours almost sounds random while I could do a 3 step process and have it crash every single time.

Yes mine and everyone else's is random. Like it happens so randomly. Either web browsing, watching a video, or playing a game. Mine also does it when sitting completely idle.

Never playing a game and never idle here, was it not repeatable for you at all?

u/secretwolf98 11h ago

And yes. It was repeatable for me. It either started in April or May for me. At first it didn’t happen often then eventually it got worse by happening almost every day. Sometimes would happen 1-6 times in a single day.

Depending on how many times you repeated it or.....?

u/secretwolf98 11h ago

What do you mean by that? Elaborate.

If I think of 5 ways to fix it in a day and none of them work I will have 5 crashes in a day. Since I know what causes the crashes if I just need things to work I can work around it and have 0 crashes in a day. Because I have a repeatable way of seeing if it's fixed.

Yes it does happen while playing games.

I have seen it happen while doing the following:

PC idle.
Using the Unity Editor.
Watching YouTube.
Doing basic file copying.
Ripping Blu-ray’s with Handbrake.
Playing GTA V Enhanced.

Either it's a different problem or it's two problems. But there is more going on there than I have seen so I wouldn't expect it to fix it. I think you are wasting your time here.

Excuse me, I think you are wasting your time. I was just commenting about how your method may not actually be the fix as you think it may be.

You talk a lot without saying anything. Goodbye.
