  1. Event 46, WHEA-Logger fatal hardware error


    Hi, so I recently just took my pc into a repair place to get fixed for an issue where it would crash and restart whenever I'd play games. Which the errors for those were different than now. We replaced the hard drive with an ssd, which is what the repair people believed to be the issue, in addition to upgrading my pc to windows 11. So I just got my pc back and I went to play a game, to see if it would crash again, and it did. Although, this time the error in the event viewer was different, which tells me I at least partially fixed the problem but now this might be something else entirely? Devi

  3. BSOD - WHEA Logger Event 46

    Hello,

    I have been having issues with a newly built PC where I get a BSOD whenever doing anything intensive. Temperatures don't appear to be getting too hot & causing a shutdown. When checking the event viewer, I see the shutdowns were WHEA Logger Event ID 46 - Fatal hardware error has occurred. Component: Memory. I did have a BSOD while performing an OCCT stability test to try and troubleshoot.

    Here is the compressed folder of the crash dump:
