I checked the case and performed a detailed cleaning. It wasn’t overly dusty.
Clear the CMOS once you confirm the BIOS update was applied correctly (in this case, version 2404).
For best results, turn off the power source and show the display, then detach the CMOS battery. Hold the power button for 30 seconds to remove any remaining charge, after which reinsert the battery. Restart the system. The motherboard features a CLR_CMOS button on the rear I/O shield; press it for 30 seconds instead of removing the battery, as this avoids issues with the SLI GPU.
The LiveKernelEvent 141 was triggered by the Windows graphics Timeout Detection and Recovery system identifying a graphics hang, which caused it to reset the graphics driver and card—resulting in a freeze and possibly a crash to desktop. Being a LiveKernelEvent rather than a BSOD suggests that TDR managed to recover the issue, which is why the system sometimes recovers.
In the C:\Windows\LiveKernelReports directory, you'll find several subfolders. Check each one and upload all the .dmp files you locate. A consistent pattern might emerge among these logs.
Make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date. You could start by uninstalling the previous driver using DDU to confirm there are no remnants. If gaming isn’t a priority, switching to the studio driver may offer improved stability.
