    WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 124 but no bsod


    Hi nerds,

    My PC has twice rebooted itself with no warning. I did not see a bsod either time, so i thought it may have been a power issue at first. Both times a dump file was left, with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 124. The first crash occurred shortly after PC was powered on and temps were quite low

    After the first crash, these are the things I've tried:

    Installing all windows updates and drivers
    Tested RAM with Memtest86, for 8 passes, no errors
    Ran intelburn standard stress test, no errors,
    Cleaned out dust and cat hair from case

    This system is about 7 months old, all parts are new except the GPU which is second hand. I understand this error is most commonly hardware related, and the fact it reboots before showing a BSOD is kind of worrying too.

    Logs attached, I suspect the PSU (i am using the one that came with the case) but I'm not too confident about my troubleshooting skills. Any help would be appreciated *Smile

    :)

  2. BSOD Help whea_uncorrectable_error (124)

    Hi thanks for replying. To answer your questions, this issue occurs very rarely but has now happened twice within a short period. This is a computer I built myself. I initially thought my ram was causing the issue because the documentation from Asus (motherboard
    manufacture) didn't show the ram I was using as supported models. So I replaced them with new Adata sticks that are supported, and I got another crash after about 5 minutes of running the computer on idle. Also my motherboard likes to automatically "optimize"
    settings in the UEFI bios which includes a slight overclocking of the cpu and possibly the ram as well. I have forced all settings in bios to run at hardware defaults (or standard) settings, and so far have had no issues.

    Here's a link to my public onedrive folder with two zipped dump files (it's all i have)

    WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 124 but no bsod

    This is a very similar problem where the resolution was to replace the mother board. Read through it, follow the test @ave0 did in that thread and see how you make out.

    Random Restarts with 0x124 Dump

    Cleaning the inside of the PC, applying new thermal paste are very important as is running Prime95 and checking voltages.

    Let me know how you make out.

    Code: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124) A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error source that reported the error.

    Ouch, that's really not what I wanted to hear *Sad I'll check voltages and replace thermal paste to see if either of those are an issue.
    Thank you for your help *Smile

  6. Hi there,

    Maybe I have a little more information for you. But at the end it seems to be something strange with the hardware, like Ztruker wrote.

    This is from my analysis:

    Code: 0x00000124: [SPECIAL] WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (2018-01-27 00:24:03) [Windows 10] CAUSED BY: AuthenticAMD_PROCESSOR_BUS_PRV WHEA Notify: Machine Check Exception Type: BUS error Error: BUSLG_OBS_ERR_*_NOTIMEOUT_ERR (Proc 0 Bank 4) PROCESS: System[/quote]
    "BUS OBS Error": Observing error. Usually caused by hardware components, Mainboard or chipset drivers.

    There are also error in windows eventlog pointing to an hardware error (maybe chipset drivers):

    Code: 2018-01-07 19:28:38 Error: A fatal hardware error has occurred. Component: AMD Northbridge 2018-01-26 23:24:45 Error: A fatal hardware error has occurred. Component: AMD Northbridge[/quote]

    Thank you very much, I'll check the chipset drivers but I have a feeling i need to RMA my mobo *Sad

    WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 124 but no bsod

    BUSLG_OBS_ERR = observing error from the point of view from the CPU (ruling out the CPU automatically).

    IMHO this doesn't necessarily mean the mobo is the cause since that can't be determined with a single dump.

    In the thread Ztruker linked to there was another crash which was due to a write error, the only reason that I could think of that could cause corrupted data to write was a bad motherboard, this is a different issue.

    Here are the voltages from BIOS, not sure about these as I'm clueless with this sort of thing *Confused

    I'm about to run Furmark and Prime95, will post results here.

    Furmark ran perfectly other than a little stuttering as it got past 80 degrees. No artefacts or crashes *Smile

    The tutorial you linked says to run prime95 for 3 hours, Axe0 has said the CPU can be ruled out, so is it still necessary to run it for that long? Just worried about it getting too hot if I leave it unattended

    Prime95 has been running for about 10 minutes so far, CPU temperatures have not gone above 58C and the fans sound like a plane taking off - so far so good i suppose? *Smile

    I guess all I'm trying to do is further eliminate the CPU as a possible cause. Probably not necessary.

    My thinking is that anything that stresses the system may show us something that could help to narrow down the cause. May be wishful thinking though.

    Prime 95 ran fine overnight. Doesn't seem to be a CPU, GPU or memory issue *Sad I'll check the hard drive next, just to be sure
