How can I fix LiveKernelEvent error?
1. Use hardware diagnostic tools
Is LiveKernelEventerrora hardware failure? Users often confirm that their computers have no hardware problems. However, you may also use thebest hardware diagnostic toolsfor PCs to rule out this option.
2. Fire up SFC/DISM scans

This isn’t the only kernel error you’ll encounter, and we also coveredLiveKernelEvent code 1a8 and 1b8in one of our other guides.
It seems to be a bug – from MS!I have seen it on several and different kinds of computers, and asked around some really qualified experts and they dont know anything about it, and if they knew they dont know how to fix it! Some therefore said it’s a bug. […]The “thing” is – it dont occur every day, but, as it seems, randomly… Which could be a good indication for a bug! So – it’s up to MS to try to find what’s up! And a solution to this problem! Come on MS!
