    Event 46 WHEA logger, Memory error and crashing


    I been having this issue for a while and it has been bugging me. After my upgrade to my shiny new 5900x, crashing from normal gaming is very common unless sometimes it likes to not crash. Only games that don't make my pc crash now is Minecraft Java Edition. When I used my 5600, there was no crashing at all in any of my games. BIOS is updated and I even cleared CMOS as well, even did testing trying two sticks at a time but didn't result in crashing, even having all 4 sticks did well until I came back the next day to play some games and crashed after a few minutes with everything going black wit

    :)

    Event 46 WHEA-Logger, Memory Issues and BSoD

    Good morning,

    I have been having consistent crashes (blue screens) of my PC for 6 months now. I am not able to identify the cause of the issue, would you be able to diagnose the problem.

    PC specs:

    Motherboard; ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING WIFI II

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X

    GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 Ti XC3 ULTRA GAMING (12G-P5-3955)

    RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) Corsair DDR4 Vengeance

    PSU: 850W Corsair RMx Series RM850x, Fully Modular, 80PLUS Gold

    I have the same problem as mentioned here:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/event-46-whea-logger-memory-issues-and-bsod/2527d292-d243-4bcd-9300-71ecdfabaa11


    However, there are no C:\Windows\Minidump directory on my machine.
    Also, I have installed HWiNFO64 but I am not sure how to detect if my machine is overheating.

    It would be great to have some help, I have been struggling with the PC for so long, I don't know what to do anymore.

    Event 46 WHEA-Logger, Memory Issues and BSoD

    Good evening,

    I recently upgraded the hardware in my pc. Since then, I have experienced repeated BSoDs and crashes during high resource use activities (such as gaming and streaming, watching Youtube, or chatting on discord).

    When a BSoD occurs, it comes with the stopcode WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR

    The system log in the event viewer lists Event 46 WHEA-Logger as the issue with a Machine Check Exception in the memory.

    I have run MemTest86 as well as Windows Memory Diagnostic and neither test returned any errors. I have not experienced any issues with booting or stability issues other than when I'm gaming and performing another high-resource task as mentioned above. The BIOS settings are all default. The hardware I am running is as follows:

    Motherboard; ASUS ROG Strix B550F Gaming (WiFi)

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

    GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3060

    RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x8GB)* 3000MHz C15

    *sold as 16GB (2x8GB). One pair is an earlier version but all sticks are the same model, speed, and latency otherwise

    PSU: Corsair RM 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

    All components (with the exception of 2 of the RAM sticks) were purchased and installed a little under 3 months ago. The problem occurs whether I'm using the new RAM exclusively, the old RAM exclusively, or all four sticks together. I have not tested each stick individually.

    From similar threads, I have minidump files prepared to share on request if necessary.

    I'm not sure what the issue is or if the minidump will provide insight but I'm curious to know if 3000MHz (running at a default speed of 2133MHz) is sufficient for the hardware I am using or if faster RAM is necessary as it seems as though all other possible causes have been ruled out.
