Whea_uncorrectable error or IRQL_not_less_or_equal errors

Hey everyone,

So for the past week i've been getting either the whea_uncorrectable_error or IRQL_not_less_or_equal BSOD... I browsed the forums and did most of the suggestions (mainly updates all my drivers and ran the stress tests, minus the ram).
Updating my drivers seemed to have fixed it for 2 days and this morning i kept getting the errors again.

A little info, I seem to be getting the errors on startup only. About 15min after start up (give or take) I will get a bsod. This will happen about 3-4 times on average and then the computer is fine for the rest of the day... When the restarts happen, i'm either playing some WoW or just on the internet via chrome. I have yet to be able to reproduce the error identically everytime and I will sometimes get the bsod just doing nothing after bootup...

I ran prime95 for 1hour with 0 errors or warning, and ran furmark for 30min with no issues either, I also did a chkdsk and that also gave me no errors for my hdd's.

I'm at a loss atm, not exactly sure what else to check aside from running mem test tonight. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi NickDucharme,

Welcome to the 10forums.

In your event logs there are many events about an error detected on Harddisk4 DR4, since you have multiple storage devices & I'm not sure how Windows looks at it to specify which of them is causing this problem I suggest that you test your HDD & SSDs and update the firmware of the SSDs.

Diagnostics Test

 HDD TEST

Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums
Run following tests

1. Short Drive Self Test
2. Short generic
3. Long generic

If the short generic fails, no need for the long generic.

   Note

Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.

Post screenshots/photos of the test results

Run HDTune to

• scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
• check the health,
• benchmark.

It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
Let me know what the results are

• of the error scan,
• make a screenshot of the health of every hard drive and post the screenshots,
• post screenshots with the benchmark of the
  
  • transfer rate,
  • access time,
  • burst rate,
  • cpu usage.

Best is to make screenshots/photos of these test results too.

Thank you, I will do the tests as soon as my mem test finishes. I ran some chkdsk before since I am using 2 ssd's and 1 hdd and those came back with no errors. Anything specific I should run for the ssd's aside from chkdsk? Also could it be a usb thats generally always plugged in that could be the cause? since to me that would be the 4th drive

You can run HDTune for both the HDD, SSD, SSHD or any other kind of storage drive you can think of (not sure about pluggable storage devices with HDTune though, except if they are extern hard drives) :)

Also could it be a usb thats generally always plugged in that could be the cause? since to me that would be the 4th drive

That is certainly possible yes.

Install Crucial Storage Executive Client and check the Crucial SSD for firmware updates.

My opinion is that HDDs don't really need firmware updating, I've never done any HDD firmware update (neither a SSD firmware update) and my hard drive is fine as it is.

Just let it be for what it is and let me know if another BSOD occurs :)

Not a problem :)
I hope your system continues being stable.
