    BSOD when playing games mainly VR


    Hello,I have been having a problem more recently where I go to use my Oculus Quest 2, linked to my computer via a cable, to play games mainly Blade and Sorcery and DCS World and I get a BSOD. The error code is: whea uncorrectable error which I understand is most likely a hardware issue or driver issue of some sort.

    BSOD when playing games (mainly VR)

    Hello,

    I have been having a problem (more recently) where I go to use my Oculus Quest 2, linked to my computer via a cable, to play games (mainly Blade and Sorcery and DCS World) and I get a BSOD. The error code is: whea uncorrectable error which I understand is most likely a hardware issue or driver issue of some sort. This error has came sometimes when not playing VR, but I would say when it does pop up 9/10 times, it's when I am playing VR. Sometimes it does this right as I start up a game through oculus link (in the headset) and sometimes when I'm 5, 10 or 15 minutes into playing. Its unpredictable

    Seeing this I did multiple things. I reseated my CPU, applied new thermal paste, and did stress tests (which did not crash the computer). I reinstalled my GPU driver twice and even went back to an older version and it still happened. I updated my BIOS to the latest version and updated all of my drivers. I did memtest86; passed. Prime95; passed. Benchmarks; no BSOD. So it's confusing to me as to why this happens when I play games, but when I stress-test the machine, it doesn't happen. Nothing seems to work.

    My temps when gaming stay below 60 degrees on both CPU and GPU so I don't think it is a heat problem. I am a secondhand owner of this computer so I do not know what the previous owner did, but I know he had a very cheap AIO cooler which caused the CPU to run very hot and he overclocked the system (looked in bios settings when I bought it 2 years ago). I have since replaced the AIO cooler (1 year ago) and turned off the OC settings and now it runs under 60 degrees under full load. Im think maybe the CPU is going bad?? But I don't know

    I have a blue screen analyzer but I only have one dump file from 8/10/2022 and it says something about pshed.dll

    Any advice would help

    System specs:

    -EVGA DG-77 case with 3 deep cool fans

    -ASROCK z270 killer SLI/ac mobo

    -Gigabyte GTX 1080 TI 11 GB

    -Intel I7-7700k

    -(previous cooler) UPHERE AIO cpu cooler

    -(current cooler) Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML280 Mirror ARGB Close-Loop AIO CPU Liquid Cooler

    -TEAMGROUP DDR4 ram 8GB (x2)

    -500 GB SSD

    -EVGA 750 G3 power source

    -Windows 10 64 bit operating system
