Windows 10: WHEA_Uncorrectable Error happening when PC idle

Hello, I’ve been having this issue for a while now. Whenever my computer goes idle for minutes it gets the Blue screen, WHEA_Uncorrectable Error. I’ve been trying to get to see what is wrong with it, I even changed my PSU but that did nothing for the problem. Is there anything to see what exactly is causing the problem? Please help me, this computer has very good parts but I do not know what is wrong with it. It also gives me the same blue screen when doing web work every once in a while. Thank you!

:)

Bluetooth still on while idle

Thanks for following the steps. Now, the settings won't take effect if you are only using normal PC idle mode. Normal functionality of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings are to stay connected even if PC is idle. With the settings that you have created, we would
suggest that you set your PC to automatically go to Sleep or
Hibernate once idle. In this way, the settings "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" should take effect.

To set your PC to automatically go to Sleep or Hibernate when idle, please follow these steps:

• Open Control Panel, set view by: Small
  icons.
• Look for Power Options.
• Click on Change when the computer sleeps on the left pane.
• Set a timer.

Please try it out. Hope it helps. If you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to come back to us.

 

W10 Crashing with BSOD error: WHEA_Uncorrectable Error

Upgraded to W10 from W7 on a Dell Desktop PC and all seemed fine.

When I try to use either of the 2 DVD drives to run a DVD, I get a BSOD and the message "WHEA_Uncorrectable Error" and the machine has to be re-booted.

What should do next?
