    Why does my desktop shut down when playing games? [WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 124]


    Hello, my computer consistently shuts down when playing higher end games with the error WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 124. I have tried my hardest to figure out what could be causing the error and have had no luck so far. Here is what I have currently tried:Updating BIOS and reinstalling all driversUndervolting GPUMemTest86 No errors detectedI have also ruled out overheating since the fans do not begin to pick up before the shutdown, and I do not believe it is because of a insufficient power supply. I currently have a 750watt power supply and according to NewEgg's power supply calculator my pc

    "Whea_uncorrectable_error" and "Livekernelevent 124"

    Is anyone willing to help read my minidump? I built a new desktop and it is working fine browsing. But when I play games it would crash irregularly. Some hardware error as far as my research goes. But Im unable to pinpoint which one is responsible. Im googling "Whea_uncorrectable_error" and "Livekernelevent 124" and did all the "fixes" I found like upgrading drivers and bios.

    Here is my minidump link if you think you can give input or direction on what to do next: 020723-10093-01.dmp. Thanks

    Whea_uncorrectable_error while playing games

    Hello,

    If you receive a blue screen error, it means that your PC has shut down unexpectedly to protect itself from losing any data. When you see WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR, it means that a hardware have caused the blue screen error. We suggest that you check if your
    device has all the latest updates installed including drivers for your device, here's how:

    • Press the Windows key + I to open Settings
      > Update & security > Windows Update, and then click
      Check for Updates.

    WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 124 but no bsod

    Same like this:
    WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 124 but no bsod - Windows 10 Forums

    Code:
    "BUS OBS Error": Observing error. Usually caused by hardware components, Mainboard or chipset drivers.
