PC shuts off randomly

[pieterjan_c]

Hi,

I can't figure out why my PC turns off randomly.

It gives the error code 'WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR'.

PC boots up fine, but after what seems a random time each time turns off and gives me a blue screen.

Also the PC doesn't boot when it's off the first try, I need to hit the power button, then the reset button and then it boots.

Also when it's in between the power button and reset button press a red VGA light lights up on my MB.

 

I looked up that code and learnt that it is a hardware error. Giving the VGA light was on I checked the GPU first.

Reseated GPU, tried different PCIE slots, PC boots fine (with weird start up sequence) but turns off randomly.

 checked my power supply, GPU, RAM and motherboard power connectors, everything seems fine.

 

I found out Steam was causing 'an' issue when it booted up (wich resulted in the blue screen), so I reinstalled it and now Steam works fine.

The errors are less frequent. Only the blue screen problem perseveres and turns off my PC at random times.

 

Really annoying to lose files and progress on work when your computer shuts off randomly.

(I had to write this twice because it turned off)

I have no clue what could be causing this, all help is appreciated.

Greets,

I have messed with overclocking before but I'm pretty sure I turned it all off.

My 3900X sits at 4.2Ghz happily wich I believe is stock.

I recently disabled XMP profile in my BIOS as I thought that might make a difference.
