Solved my own issue. Was a simple BIOS update but that's weird because everything was fine before and I only made minor changes. Oh well. Thanks for the help!

So I've recently upgraded my computer slightly.

I moved into a new case and also got rid of my custom loop for an H100i v2. I also switched from 2xGTX 980's to 1xGTX 1080. Same Mobo/Processor/SSD/HHD. I'm running a completely new install of Windows 10 Home and also the other two drives were formatted. So this is a completely clean slate.

 

My Issue(s)

Randomly and under load(with prime 95) I get a BSOD or a screen freeze and I get get a clock time error(or something like it) or more often the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR.

 

Complete setup:

  • Asus Maximus VI Forumla
  • 16GB Corsair Vengeance
  • i7-4790K(No Overclock)
  • H100i v2
  • EVGA GTX 1080
  • Crucial SSD - OS
  • Sandisk SSD - Games
  • HD - Games/Data

What I've tried:

  • Running only CPU/Mobo/Ram + OS SSD
  • Different Power Supply
  • Clearing CMOS
  • Default settings for BIOS
  • Windows Memory Diagnostics
  • Intel Processor Diagnostics

Temps all appear fine and I'm not getting an error on the board when it freezes or BSODS.

I'm still getting the issue randomly and if I try to test and I'm at a real loss as what else to do or where to go.
