System Asus ROG Z690 Formula w/ custom loop, 2x360 rad i9 13900k + thermal grizzly contact frame (0.4 NM) - by core, MCE disbabled, auto/default everything else. G.skill trident-z DDR5 2x16GB (XMP not enabled) EVGA 3080 TI icx Samsung 990 pro as boot drive Recently rebuilt this system with a new formula, 13900k, and 990. I was previously running a different z690 formula board and 12900k. During my initial tests, I was getting numerous WHEA and CPU logical errors and crashes in OCCT. Flashed motherboard bios to most recent, which eliminated the CPU errors, but I am still getting lots of WHEA errors. There is no overclock or XMP set up yet... What can I do to address this? The only other thing I could think of other than faulty parts would be the contact frame. I had a heck of a time getting it to post in this build until I bought the torque screwdriver and got it in spec.

Upgraded from a 3900X to a 5900X tonight. Upon starting my pc after install, it immediately goes to BSOD Machine Check Exception, then to WHEA Uncorrectable Error. Tried without XMP, right into WHEA. I've reseated my CPU twice, booted into Windows for about 30 seconds and then it BSODed again after logging in. Currently just boot looping into a BSOD. Aggressively Googled this and nothing I can find works. I'm on the most current stable BIOS release. I've cleared CMOS. CPU idling at 41⁰C according to BIOS. I can't get into the OS so I can't get dumpfiles. Booting into safe mode doesn't work at all. Is my new CPU defective? Any help at all is much appreciated and much needed. I really have no clue what to do.

hello guys, my brother recently noticed that he has his pc rebooting out of nowhere with no BSOD. and it just happend that i came to check his event viewer and it has some WHEA errors some with id 18 these are his specs: bios F11d ryzen 5600x (stock settings) cooler master cpu cooler hyper 212 black edition aorus elite b550m motherboard xpg spectrix d50 2x8 set to 3200mhz on bios. kingston 480 ssd seagate 1tb HDD rx 570 gigabyte gaming 4gb xpg pylon 750w bronze psu things ive done so far: ran sfc/ scannow with no errors. ran memtest86 with no errors. updated the latest chipset from amd website for the b550m

as the title says, I ran OCCT to test my new build and I came across a lot of WHEA errors (hundreds) of them in a 10 minute test. When I first built the PC I didnt check stability bc everything was stock but I played DOOM Eternal with the performance monitors on. My CPU and GPU stayed green in the graphs with out any signs of spikes. About a few days later I got a new case and an AIO cooler so I changed out the old hardware. Then I overclocked my GPU and turned on PBO through BIOS settings and AMD Ryzen master. I didnt crash so I figured it was doing fine. But I noticed my boot times took a little longer and then occasionally a few icons wouldnt load properly on the desktop. Again, ignored it bc I was getting BSOD. But I decided to run some OCCT tests and found the WHEA errors. Then I played DOOM to see what the graphs showed and I had a lot of spikes in the graphs. I would spike up to red every few seconds. I am not sure I am explaining this correctly bc I have never boosted my CPU so I am not sure what the graphs mean on what WHEA errors show. But I am looking for help bc I am noticing strange behavior and need some expert advice. Any body have an idea of what I can do to fix this, and can you help by explaining to me what is happening?

Hey everyone, I made a post a couple of weeks ago describing WHEA errors on my 5900x due to a suddenly unstable undervolt (PBO2 curve optimizer). It was stable for a couple months, but started having errors after a chipset driver update. I noticed that while the first unexpected reboot showed a WHEA error in event viewer, following reboots showed nothing. But the behavior was the same until I decreased the negative offset from -30 to -25. My question is, why don't I see WHEA errors in event viewer anymore? Additionally, there are no other error logs describing why the reboots happen.

It started with downloading csgo, sudden blue screens and automatic repair loops. However i solved it by taking cpu off and putting it back long time ago. Today at 3am i just downloaded samsung magician to scan my ssds, then blue screen spam started again. I don't think it will help but i disassembled all pieces and built the pc again, i was already gonna do it for cleaning anyways. I can't get rid of that problem, no matter what i tried i'm still getting blue screens. Main event to happen blue screen is when my 980pro which is new, reaches 50% usage read/write speeds decreases insanely and stays 30-100mb/s for 1-2 seconds and windows stops responding then blue screen again. It happens when i don't idle the pc for 2 minutes in task manager, otherwise bluescreen pops out. System disk usage rapidly climbs up, when it reaches 70mb/s windows crashes or as i said 50% usage. If somehow i speedrun to close windows defender and immediately open task manager there's nothing wrong. But when i open chrome/steam/discord or even recycle bin at start, it crashes. If i don't open task manager it also crashes. Things done: Windows reinstall, reset bios, pc disassembly, automatic repair, windows reset without losing documents. //tried windows on my 860evo and there was nothing wrong// Well at the and of the day there's one question that really matters for me if the solution is difficult, because im tired of this. Do i have to call samsung?

Hello, i'm running a ryzen 5900x which has pbo2 enabled and its basically overclocked, but as you know, it takes quite some time to dial in the settings correctly to where a single core doesn't crash. I have had problems with core 6 and 7, they are usually responsible for the crashes so far and a few days ago i decided to install windows 11 but now i can't even view the APIC ID for which core is causing the whea errors because windows 11 is f*****g garbage does anyone know how to get detailed information out of event viewer? "A fatal hardware error has occurred. A record describing the condition is contained in the data section of this event." is not enough

Hi all! I've been getting WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR blue screens: Sometimes my PC will go for a week before it has them, but when it does - it goes almost every boot just after i get into windows until it seemingly goes away temporarily. Sometimes i can use the PC for maybe an hour or so and then it happens again - goes into blue screening mere seconds after i get into Windows. I have minidumps configured but it flashes the screen and restarts so fast it doesn't save them. I have fully updated drivers on everything, have tried fresh windows installs, etc. Have tried swapping ram around, reseating cables and so on. I have ran a stress test on literally everything for hours and during that time it didn't even crash at all The only thing I can get is these event logs, if anyone can see any issues and point them out that'd be muchly appreciated as I really rather not RMA the CPU but I suspect I may have to https://drive.google.com/file/d/18yKEiLbMlbYXTFK-AX4fBfv2C2K3FceP/view?usp=sharing these are the event logs I can find - hopefully link works, first time trying it here Unfortunatly, the recommended PERFMON doesn't work - it just keeps going and won't give me the option to save. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UfYGmmMGiI2EYUCFA-rCgixPqAFjE8Id/view?usp=sharing - here is the sysnative output.

So I have a 5950X, 32GB 3200 DDR4 RAM. I upgrade from a 3800X to 5950X with the same motherboard and memory, but whenever I enabled XMP. I get random crashes that only occur when XMP is enabled.

Hey guys, last few days i've been trying to fix a friends 15' Dell XPS 9575 EU-Version. I think i found the solution to our problem. I wanted to share this problem with you guys. Maybe you've had a similar problem, know something about this issue or just having the same exact problem right now. I'll keep you updated, if i fixed it or not. You guys got two versions below, a short one, and a detailed one were i wrote step by step what happened what we did to pinpoint the problem. SHORT VERSION: BSODs: Unexspected Storage Exception, System Service Exception Windows reset over System Preferences. BSODs again Thinking Intel rapid storage technology (IRST) as Problem. Changing SATA from RAID to AHCI, formatting SSD in other PC, clean installing windows. BSODs again: WHEA UNCORRECTABLE EXCEPTION Installing SSD in tower pc and booting of it --> BSOD: WHEA UNCORRECTABLE EXCEPTION SSD faulty. SSD is also running very hot (untouchably hot) Best guess: SSD gave up after 3 years of running very hot. Solution: Buying a new Samsung 980 500 gb NVMe and trying to think of a solution for overheating. Detailed Version: Observed error image: After using the Dell XPS for over 3 years, while in uni my friend experienced many BSOD (Unexspected Storage Exception, System Service Exception) to the point the PC was unusable. After resetting Window over the System Preferences the Dell XPS worked fine for a few hours. Worth to mention, a BSOD happened during the reset. But then it happened all over again. After rebooting quite often we weren't able to acces the Bootmanager over F12 neither the BIOS with F2, it just stopped working only displaying the Dell logo. After some research the intel rapid storage technology (IRST) been our first lead for causing the BSODs. Apparently Dell XPS get shipped with RAID activated in the BIOS even if they only had one SSD installed, reinstalled it in the Dell again. That's when we removed the SSD, changed the SATA mode to AHCI, installed it in my tower PC and completely wiped the SSD. An hour after a clean Windows 10 install (at the beginning he had windows 11 installed) BSODs occured again. So it wasn't a IRST problem. But this time it's been WHEA UNCORRECTABLE EXCEPTION. Still thinking the SSD is fine because the PC working for an hours or so after the Windows Reset. Now we feared that the motherboard/CPU/soldered Ram were the origin of the problem. We noticed right now that rebooting right after a BSOD we would boot into the Dell Service thing, which is stored in the Chipset or something like that, which's telling us that no Harddrive is detected. We then transfered the SSD into my Tower PC, booted right into it and just after reaching the Desktop my Tower PC had a BSOD! WHEA UNCORRECTABLE EXCEPTION! Directly rebooting it guess what. We could't get into the the BIOS neither the Bootmanager. Our guess was now the SSD (an 512GB PC601 NVMe SK hynix) was the reason of all our problems. In heinsight then we determined the Dell XPS got very hot RIGHT over the SSD (SSD is right beside the CPU). After starting the Dell with an open backplate we could feel the heat been produced by the SSD right after startup. It went from cold to so hot it wasn't even touchable for a few seconds, even hotter than the CPU (Cover). We discovered that faulty SSDs are quite commen for Dells, and not just the Dell XPS line. Some more research showed us that thermal Management/bad airflow is a problem with the Dell XPSs. We are quite sure right now that our SSD is faulty after having to struggle with the heat over the past 3 years. Presumable solution: We just ordered a new NVMe SSD, an 500 GB Samsung 980 NVMe SSD. We are hoping this is the real origin of the BSODs and that this is the solution. Keeping you guys up to date. btw because of getting the BSODs right before getting to the destop we weren't able to get thhe BSODs reports..... Device Details: 15' Dell XPS 9575 2-in-1 EU-Version Processor: Intel i7-8705G Ram: Soldered DDR4 16 GB 2400 Mhz GPU: AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL SSD: PC601 NVMe SK hynix 512 GB PCIe Gen3 x 4

Hi, I’ve been having BSODs for the past month or so (usually while gaming) with the code “WHEA Uncorrectable Error”, it would normally reboot and be fine for a while afterwards. However, yesterday it started crashing just while doing normal tasks under low load (for example on edge) and today it won’t load windows without crashing. Things I’ve done/tried: I’ve checked for dump files, none are created (even though I’ve set them to be created) completely rebuilt/cleaned and reset everything Event Viewer showed ‘Kernel-Power 41’ back dated drivers to known stable versions Completely reset BIOS (removing OC and XMP) Ran Windows Memory Test when it first started playing up and it showed no error Tried running Windows Memory Test again today from CMD on troubleshoot Menu with both RAM sticks in and then individually but it still kept BSOD before completing (However the first passes never showed any problems) There’s probably some more things I’ve tried out of desperation to find a cause but really stuck at the moment. And didn’t really want to be spending money unnecessarily atm. SPECS: -Intel i7 6700k (removed OC I had on it) -16gb DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600mz -GTX 1060 Strix 16gb -Corsair CX650 PSU ASUS Z-170 PRO (Don’t even think they make them anymore haha) 500gb Samsung 970 EVO Plus V-NAND NVMe M.2 SSD -2.0TB WD Blue HDD -Coolmaster 240mm AIO -NZXT Fans Sorry if it doesn’t quite make sense, I’m not so good at writing stuff haha. Thanks I’m advance! Have a good day and take care

So recently I have been experiencing fps dips with my unit and over time it got worse and worse till it finally keeps entering BSOD - CRITICAL PROCESS DIED. This has been an issue I resolved over the course of 3 days, to which I found out that it was caused by my chipset’s thermal pad being crusty as hell. Now that I have added new thermal pad to it, it did improve significantly but I would still keep noticing the dips from time to time as I enter a game (happens upon loading every start of a round as soon as I spawn) and It wasn’t like that before, I then decided to check the vrm’s pads the ones located on the left side of the processor (I have a tuf z370 plus gaming motherboard) found out that the pads were so old as hell, I changed them to a new pad and then the whea error pops up first and after that, the pc is unable to boot, not even from a usb flash drive, it could stay up on bios forever but only dies and goes boot looping every time it tries to boot, I already tries cmos reset, cpu reseat, ram swap, tested my psu on another unit (works perfectly fine) removed hard drives and tried them 1 by 1 and still doesn’t work. What do i do? I made sure that I have installed correct pad sizes as well

I've been running into issues with BSOD WHEA error, and it's not creating dumps so I can't provide one. More details on it below. My Build Built September 2018 Motherboard: MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon CPU: i7-8700k NH-D15S cooler Memory: 32 gigs of Corsair 3200 DDR4 I don't have the exact PN on me right now, but the issue still happened when I swapped back to my older, slower 16 GB of corsair RAM, which is known-good. Storage Boot drive: Samsung 970 Evo 250GB M.2 Extra Storage: 2 TB Seagate Barracuda & 2 TB Samsung 870 Evo Still crashed when I had the Barracuda and 870 Evo disconnected PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G3 GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 10G-P5-3897-KL Newest part, got it in January 2022 Issue In the last 2 months, I started getting random BSOD that would pretty much just flash for a second and then reboot into windows. Boot repair can't do anything, SFC /Scannow will occasionally find a corrupted system file and replace it. I eventually just bit the bullet and did a clean install of windows and cleared out my drives. The problem persisted. It will happen even when not under load, such as when I'm trying to log in. However, once it happens one time, it then happens multiple times in a row and seemingly for no reason will be stable again. I gave up on my own, brought it into Micro center and they kept it for awhile and said they only had the issue occur when the side panel was closed. So they said it must be something overheating, as they were able to run stress tests on CPU (Prime95) and GPU (FurMark) for nearly 30 hours and didn't have the problem occur. Then brought it home, and the next night the same BSOD WHEA error occurred while playing Destiny 2 when transitioning areas. Not a particularly heavy load at the time, panel was open and temps were good. It then repeatedly blue screened when trying to log in, look at settings, start up Firefox. SFC then found a bad file, CHKDSK didn't find anything either. So I'm back to being pretty much at a loss. It's not like I have a spare Mobo/CPU to throw around at it right now to test those. SMART all looks good and Samsung Magician as well as CrystalDiskinfo show like 98% drive health still. Is it possible that the boot drive could going bad? Or would it maybe be more likely to be the CPU or motherboard causing it? It's just strange to me how random it seems. I'd rather not go throwing money at something that is a less likely culprit, so any help would be greatly appreciated! TL;DR BSOD WHEA errors occurring w/ no dump. RAM is known good, and still happened on a different set I have. Microcenter was able to run Furmark and Prime95 for 10s of hours on end with my side panel open and it didn't crash. Brought it home, crashed the same night while playing Destiny 2. And then repeatedly after that while trying to log-in, open a browser etc. SFC found a bad file and fixed it. Any thoughts on if it could be the boot drive or more likely CPU/Motherboard related?

Hi all, could you please help me understanding this debug info after my pc crushed while playing? I'm pretty sure that it was due to my OC of the GPU (asus strix 780 oc set at +200 core +400 mem and +37v), but maybe it was due to my CPU OC (i5-4690k at 4.5 ghz 1.272v) ram manually oc with the values in the manufacturer's website (corsair low profile vengance 8gb 2 modules black). Any help will be much appreciated! :) Thanks!

Hi, I just ran into an issue I can't figure out. I bought a i9 9900K and a AsRock Z370 both used, but from a very good seller. I put my "old" M.2 drive in it, with the prev. Windows, it booted up and ran just fine, but since I have changed the Mobo, I need a clean Windows 10 install, and thats where the error comes in. Every single time at 65% of the installation the BSOD pops in, and I feel like I already tried everything. After a while, when I don't even do anything to the PC after like 3 minutes it crashes on the first installation screen. Any idea on the BIOS settings or maybe something else I might be missing? Thank you in advance!

Hi, I decided to upgrade my pc with a new cpu, motherboard and ram and move it to a new, nicer case. Unfortunately the motherboard got bricked after a failed bios update so i got it replaced and there were no problems updating the bios on the replacement board. I installed a fresh copy of windows after installing the new parts and started installing all of the software (steam, discod etc) before i was even done installing the software the computer BSOD already with whea_uncorrectabe_error. I downloaded all of the windows updates and updated all of my drivers but the computer kept crashing with the same error code. I thought that maybe the cpu or the ram were faulty so i got them replaced (the store i bought them from offers same day replacement if a part is faulty) even after replacing the parts and reinstalling windows again, the bsod kept happening. Sometimes it could run for 30 hours with me gaming, watching movies or stress testing the pc without a crash and then right after that it could randomly crash few times in a row within minutes of each other. The computer runs perfectly fine booted into safe mode with networking so i think i can rule out any hardware problems. I ran sfc /scannow and checked the disks - no errors whatsoever. I've been closely monitoring the temps as well and idle it never goes above 30C and under load it never goes higher than around 80C or so. I also tried just running it with a fresh windows install without anything installed on it to see if maybe it's some software but it would crash even in a fresh install. Please someoe, help me, I have absolutely no idea what could be wrong with the computer and i've been trying to fix it for over a week now and i really need to get it fixed asap as i need it for work.

Hi, I have been getting ONE WHEA error and I'm pulling my hair regarding it. My computer was almost idling I was talking in Skype for 1 hour and was in the other side of the room, When I then ended the call at the computer it did freeze for about 5 sec and then it start working agin - no BSOD or simuler. Anyway I did see in HWiNFO64 that I did get a WHEA error. This was the error: Here is some more from the details: As you can see it state CPU but also the Error Source is unknown according to it. So I started to TS everything just too be sure, I did re-install Windows - I did check BIOS so MSI did not overclock the CPU, I did find something and that was that the P1 was for 4025w (overclockede) so I did change it to 125w that's Intel Default. I did run memtest64 4-passes over night no issues with the RAM, I did also run OCCT samll and big data for 2 hours each no issue, Did try Prime95 blended for 3 hours no issues there either. Then I did remember that sometimes my display was flickering so I did check in Event Viewer again and I did find this: So after some googling it says that it indicate that my GPU is broken I did contact Palit and they told me to replace it. Was talking to the store and I'll send it in and get a 2080 Super as replacement for only 100 Euro extra. Anyway this thing are getting me paranoid but it has not happened again, no more WHEA errors - should I just call it the day or should I contact Intel or something? OR is it possible that this was caused from the GPU? As the error source was unknown maybe it was from the GPU? The GPU are sending data to the CPU right? My setup: MSI meg z490 ace i9 10900k 64GB DDR4 3200MHz 2070 Super (will soon get replace with 2080 Super)

Hello Everyone, I am facing WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR mostly on restarts and after turning PC on and sometimes when I'm playing any game. This Issue started when i have recently updated my windows to new version i.e. (19041.450) Version: 2004. I am getting a lot of BSOD issues, the only thing worked for me is turning off (INTEL TURBO BOOST) from bios, which i don't want but unfortunately I have no choice, is there anything I can do to fix it? I have updated all my device manager drivers from outbyte also ran Windows memory diagnosis, ran anti-virus, reinstalled windows, update bios, checked for MALWARES. Please anyone that can help me I shall be eternally grateful. MY PC SPECS: i9 9900k Asus Maximus Xi Code Aorus RTX 2080ti Vengeance PRO RGB 32ram 250 gb NVME Corsair h150i pro AIO

Hi, I bought following components back in February 2016 and it has been running perfectly: - Motherboard MSI Z170A Tomahawk AC ATX (stock 1.10) - Intel Core i5-6600K (latest updade) - EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4 GB (latest update) - HyperX Fury memory 2x4GB DDR4 2666 MHz - WD blue 2 TB - Samsung SM951 256 GB - Corsair RM550x - windows 10 However on 03 december 2019 i got a BSOD (WHEA uncorrectable error stuck a 0%) at the moment i clicked start button to shut down my PC. When i tried to boot, I get a BSOD during start-up or after a few seconds when in windows. However i found on the 05 December that turning the "Game boost" option ON (not OFF) in the MSI bios, my PC just works fine. (have been using it daily ever since). Now last weekend i turned the Gameboost off in hopes of that this issue was kind of caused by i a bug, but I still get the same BSOD. Luckily I still can solve this issue with turning my gameboost ON, but it just makes me nervous that this issue still isnt solved and im scared that this may damage my hardware over time. When i turn Gameboost on MSI bios says following changes are made: - Intel C-state: [auto] → [Disabled] - Long duration power limit (W): [Auto] → [255] - Short Duration Power limit (W): [Auto] → [255] - CPU current limit (A): [Auto] → [256] When i turn the Gameboost OFF following changes are made: - Intel C-state: [Disabled] → [auto] - CPU ratio: [41] → [auto] - DRAM frequency: [DDR4-2400 (18x100.00x1.33)] → [auto] - CPU Core voltage 1.320V: [1.320] → [auto] - DRAM voltage 1.200V: [1.200] → [auto] - EIST: Disables → enabled - Long duration power limit (W): [255] → [auto] - Short Duration Power limit (W): [255] → [auto] - CPU current limit (A): [256] → [auto] No EZ led light are red on the motherboard. I cant find a minidump or dump files map in windows folder. Any ideas what causes the BSOD when gameboost is OFF? What has the highest probability of the gameboost settings that fixes this issue? Is this 100 % related to my CPU only? TLDR: PC worked perfect for 4 years → BSOD on start up (WHEA correctable error) → solved by turning gameboost ON. If gameboost turned back off, same BSOD.

Hi guys first time posting. Just wondering about something that happens to my PC every time I try and use the TPU/AI Suite III to automatically overclock my computer. Windows crashed and I get a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR and it then restarts. Does anyone know what I can do to solve this. Specs: i5 4670K Asus z87PRO XFX r9 290 16GB Corsair DDR3 Thanks
