Windows 10: Recurring BSOD WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR frequently but inconsistent

I have been getting the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD for years with my PC. Over the years I have swapped out every part except for the CPU and PSU. The same BSOD keeps occuring but it seems inconsistent as to when it will happen. It happens a couple times per week, even under low load like browsing the internet. With some games (BF3, GTA IV) it happens very frequently (every 20 minutes), while I have been able to stream with OBS for 12 hours without a BSOD or play other games for a long time without issues. About 6 months ago I did a clean install of Windows 10 on a new SSD and the issue remained as well

I would like to know if the CPU is the issue because all other parts have been replaced over time.

Random but frequent BSOD - whea_uncorrectable_error

I’m getting a lots of BSOD with whea_uncorrectable_error and I have tried lots of thing/suggestions from googleing…. Before this happened it all worked perfectly fine for a month and all of the sudden
it began. It have never been overclocked only RAM have been set for XMP standard.

So here is my information and the behavior of my system

Setup:

• ASUS Maximus VIII Ranger Z170 (1+ month old)
• Intel i7-6700K (Stock speed) (1+ month old)
• Noctua NH-D15 (1+ month old)
• Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2666MHz 2 x 8GB (1+ month old)
• Samsung 850 pro 128 GB (2 years old)
• Cooler Master Silent Pro 1000W (3 years old)

What I have tried hardware wise:

• Removed all unnecessary connections such as extra front USB and AUDIO connection
• Removed all other drives than the OS drive
• Switched RAM sockets placing and tried only one at a time (with each one)
• Moved jumper back and forth
• Reset BIOS settings
• Installed OS on different drive
• Changed to use different keyboard/mouse
• Firmware updated both SSD and BIOS
• Unplugged internet cable
• XMP left on and off

What I have tried OS wise:

• Windows 10 version 1607 anniversary update (newest and fully updated windows 10)
• Windows 10 version 1607 anniversary update (without updating)
• Windows 10 version 1511 (to determine of some updates between 1511 and 1607 were the issue)
• Windows 7 service 1 (fully updated)
• Windows 7 service 1 (not updated) – Pretty stable (1 BSOD total)
• Booting into safemode seems to remove the issue aswell

What I have tried software/testing wise (all tests passed):

• Run memtest86
• Intel Diagnostic Tool
• CMD chkdsk
• CMD sfc /scannow
• Windows memory dia tool
• Prime95 for hours’ multiple times (temp really isn’t an issue max 70c but mostly around 60c)
• DRIVER VERIFIER
• Furmark
• PCMark 7 – tried all free benchmarks (on sable win 7)
• HDTune
• CrystalInfo
• Intel Driver Update Utility
• Uninstalled most drivers and installed all newest drives from ASUS website (only drivers)

BSOD “whea_uncorrectable_error” happens with no visible pattern, but her is what I have seen:

• BSOD happens regular 3-15 min from boot time
• BSOD can happen before login (at login screen)
• BSOD happens both if left totally untouched or if used
• BSOD seems to be delayed by prime95 (my thought is that prime95 takes all the CPU power/priority from other threads, so the software issue or whatever can’t be executed)
• A prime95 test of 1 hour happened without BSOD, 7 min after prime95 end a BSOD happened
• Nothing specific seems to trigger the issue
• Windows 7 service 1 without updates - doesn’t seem to be triggered or just not as easily (The only 1 BSOD happened shortly after inserting ASUS driver cd(might be random) on a fresh WIN 7 install, for 2 days it ran without BSOD)

I have tried online dmp file analysis and can see mostly:

• Machine Check Exception
• 0x124_GenuineIntel
• WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT or WIN7_DRIVER_FAULT

I hope somebody can help me, I don’t know what else to do, it could be a hardware issue with the newer parts and I could send it for RMA, but to me it seems as a software issue when prime95 can delay it
and there mostly isn’t any issue with windows 7 service 1 without any updates.

I have made a ZIP with a dmp files in different folder for each OS

Frequent BSOD issue Asus K53sm NVIDIA 630m Windows 10


I would guess that your GPU is faulty, the crashes that are most frequent seem related to the GPU.

I do have a suggestion, although this suggestion is more often seen with 0x9F crashes where drivers are in an inconsistent state for the OS.
Try to change the powerplan, standard there are following plans

1. Powersaver,
2. Balanced, standard selected,
3. High performance

If you didn't change your power plan, you have balanced selected.
Select High performance and see if it makes a difference.

 

Windows 10 Recurring Crashes


Hi Tom,

Welcome to the 10forums.

As this is not a BSOD problem, this is not the right part of the forum.
There are a few suggestions I would give you, NO garantee it will help!

Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
   • Double click the executable to open it
   • Click on the button shown below

If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window



Warning Programs that claim to update your drivers install either the wrong or corrupted drivers.
If you have installed any driver with AVG Driver Updater, please remove them as it may cause trouble.
