What are LiveKernelEvents in Windows?

Question

Everyone knows what are stop error codes or "blue screen" error codes. They are documented here.
However, users also report LiveKernelEvent, such as this one - and the official documentation is lacking. Googling yields all kinds of 3rd party sites.

And here is the question: What are LiveKernelEvents and how to interpret their parameters?

Answer 1

Hi,
Yes, LiveKernelEvent in Reliability History is not explained or documented on Microsoft's official website.
The crash and blue screen issues are usually more effective, so I think that's why the documents explanation for the information and errors.
As far as I know，LiveKernelEvent is more like LiveKernelReports，it's only help record some information about the issue just like event viewer.
The bug code has a value . This bug code indicates that which has captured a live kernel dump. Then search the bugcheck number in the first link you provided and find the parameters.
Best Regards,
Carl

Thank you CarlFan.

From googling, the cases of "LiveKernelEvent" often are associated with games and video-intensive applications.
Some cases are triggered by the watchdog associated with video drivers.
Some cases are associated with kernel driver types that normally cause a BSOD. example.

IMHO a KB article about these events and reports is long due.
