Hey guys,

I've been having some issues last 2 weeks while I've been gaming. I've notice small freezes that occur, that last a few seconds, along with the games just completely crashing. It's been especially bad with Planet Zoo and Assassins Creed Valhalla, which should both be running smooth with my build. I updated drivers, updated Windows and verified game files with no success.

PC specs are:
CPU: Intel 10600K
MOBO: ASUS ROG strix Z490-A
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB
PSU: Corsair RM750x
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Super Windforce
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i PRO
SSD: Samsung 860 EVO

I looked at the reliability monitor, and whenever a game crashed it would have the same event and code Live Kernel Event 141:

Temps seem to be fine, below is a couple hours into playing, with game still running:

Which BIOS version are you on for your motherboard? You're on version 1909 for Windows 10, we're currently on version 20H2...you're not up to date with the OS. I'd advise you backup any and/or all critical content and reinstall the OS after you fabricate a bootable USB installer using Windows Media Creation Tools.

Once OS is installed, manually install all drivers for your platform sourced from your motherboard maker's support site and Nvidia's support site, installing then in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Adminsitrator.
