Hi, I've recently started continuously getting "Whea_Uncorrectable_Error" and "Watchdog_Timeout"

 

It started happening when I check my Task manager and my RAM is showing as 1333Ghz, I know the RAM is 1866Ghz.

 

So I went to the Bios and looked around if XMP is available, I didn't see any XMP in the bios, so i just manually set the RAM to 1866Ghz.

 

And then, since I was already there. I fired up EZ Tuning to auto overclock the CPU and all. So it asked me what type of cooler I am using, box cooler, what do I do daily, gaming, etc etc.

 

Then in the end, it displayed that it can boost CPU to 10% and RAM by 2%. So I pressed apply and then it said if ever the system becomes unstable, please go to Bios and load optimized default settings again.

 

So i restarted my computer, check tasked manager, RAM still displaying at 1333Ghz. So I gave up, used the computer normally then BLAM! BSOD

 

So I went back to Bios, loaded the default settings. Made the RAM into Auto detect rather than the manual 1866Ghz. and restarted again.

 

Then that's where problem started, everytime I log in to my account it goes BSOD with Whea Uncorrectable or Watchdog Timeout.

 

So I went back the Bios and checked if I changed anything, I loaded the default again just in case. But still the same.

 

The weird thing is, I was browsing google for answers and there is this one guy at Microsoft support in the comments that if you boost your CPU voltage, the error goes away.

 

But I didn't know how to do that, so I just fired EZ tuning again. So it auto overclock my PC again and it becomes more stable after overclock, it doesn't BSOD or anything, not until I try gaming. 

 

It works for awhile then dies after a few, but is much stable than default settings. Please help!

 

So the specs of my computer is:

 

Windows 10 installed with Disk

The system is about 2 years now? I think? When I bought it, these were the top of the line back then.

i7-4790K

8GB of Kingston HyperX Memory 1 stick

GTX 970 Strix

Asus ROG Maximus 7 Ranger

Samsung EVO 840 120GB SSD

1TB WD Black

Corsair 650 Watt PSU

 

Thank you guys in advance! I don't know where else to go and ask for help :(

If you are overclocked at the moment then i would just return these values to default.

 

Also it is true that turning up the voltage a touch would fix this, but leaving it on default values it should definitely be most stable.

Hey bud, I just went through your DMP's and I can see that the CPU called the error. Try to update your BIOS. If that fails, start raising your voltage in very small increments to see if it improves. 

But first. Check your CPU temps. Something is definitely affecting your CPU and making it fail. Either it didnt like being OC'ed or the motherboard is pooped (just a hunch at this point because you mentioned the memory thing)
 

A good idea might be to swap out ram one piece at a time and test too.

 

PS: Dont be lazy, be efficient, so you can be lazy later.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I've tried returning it to default values but when I do that, it just BSOD every boot up. Currently, I am running it in 8% overclock from base and it is stable.....so far. I don't understand why returning it to default makes it unstable.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Currently, I am running it as 8% Overclock using the Asus EZ overclock. So far it is stable. Temp wise, its normal. I don't understand why it BSOD's when the computer is on default, non-overclock settings. And with regards to the RAM, I am using a single stick Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB Ram with 1866mhz. But I can't have it reflect on the task manager. It always shows 1333 :(
