    BSOD when watching YouTube/Taxing my CPU


    Approximately 3-4 times a week I will experience either a BSOD - WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR or a screen freeze (mouse and keyboard are completely non-responsive) resulting in a hard reset to restore. This typically occurs while watching random YouTube videos or while playing Cities Skylines or attempting to convert video files. If the PC is idle, there are no issues.

    I've had this PC since 2012 and about 6 months ago updated all the drivers, blew away Win7 and updated to Win10 Pro. At that time I updated my UEFI which should be current. I also diligently run Windows updates, etc.
    I had the pc over-clocked to 4.7 the entire time it was on Win7 and had no issues, but not long after moving to Win10 I started experiencing screen freezes. I've been putting up with this for several months now but it's been very frustrating. Within the last month or so I'll more-often see a BSOD than a screen freeze but it does appear to be random.
    In the pursuit of resolving this issue, I just dropped the over-clocking down to 4.4, but it's just crashed again (converting a MKV to MP4).

    I'm not sure where to start here so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I've attached the required files but can add any others as requested.

    Hello dpinkis and welcome to the BSOD Forum area

    My personal view is that W10 is more susceptible to BSOD from overclocking and so I would make sure your CPU does not go over the Max turbo boost frequency allowed which is 3.8GHz. Your current setting of 4.4 is still rather high in my opinion.

    At least while troubleshooting please remove any overclock and see if it makes a difference.

    The single BSOD crash dump indicates a hardware error with an internal timing issue which is entirely consistent with overclocking.

    The logs displayed problems related to the drive including paging errors, possible corruption and bad block.

    Run HD Tune (free edtition): (test all drives)
    https://www.hdtune.com/
    Post images into the thread for results on these tabs:
    a) Health (SMART)
    b) Benchmark
    c) Full error scan

    Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste: chkdsk /r /v

    This command may take many hours so plan to run overnight.

    Use the syntax: chkdsk /r /v C: or chkdsk /r /v D: changing the drive letter to the applicable drive.

    Use the text and images in this thread to find the chkdsk reports in the event viewer > copy and paste > notepad > post share links into the thread using one drive, drop box, or google drive

    There are two log collectors: DM and BETA
    The BETA will eventually replace the DM log collector.
    The BETA log collector will collect more useful files and folders.

    Once the computer environment is no longer overclocked:
    for any BSOD:
    a) Run the BETA log collector and post a zip into this thread
    b) Open file explorer > this PC > C: > in the right upper corner search for C:\windows\memory.dmp > if the file size is < 1.5 GB then zip and post a separate share link into the thread using one drive, drop box, or google drive

    @zbook You are referring to bad blocks picked up back in October 2018 which will have no connection to the BSOD. You also refer to recent drive problems but do not specify which drive - in fact you can clearly see that they are not the system drive and the events were at times not related to the crash.

    The possible corruption problems reported in the logs were in January.
    The paging errors I/O retried, bad blocks were older.
    Maybe the OP can comment on whether the chkdsk fix and recover had been ran or whether the drive was replaced.
    The recent bugchecks were 124. There were older BSOD with different bugchecks (A and D1)

    For clarification (and because I forgot):
    For my OS/C Drive I originally had two 250GB SSD's in Raid 0 (Win7 Pro)
    I replaced those with two brand-new Samsung 1TB drives in Raid 0 @10/3/18 (Win10 Pro) (as per Systeminfo.exe).
    I can remove over-clocking and run chkdsk on my PC (after work) but would like to know what the switches represent please? (/r /v)

    /r Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. The disk must be locked. /r includes the functionality of /f, with the additional analysis of physical disk errors.

    /v Displays the name of each file in every directory as the disk is checked.

    chkdsk | Microsoft Docs



    C:\WINDOWS\system32>chkdsk /r /v C:
    The type of the file system is NTFS.
    Cannot lock current drive.

    Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
    process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
    checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

    Type: Y
    reboot

    I have not yet removed the OC settings in the UEFI, but chkdsk /r /v c: has finished. I keep a lean c:\ so not seeing the need to export this and posting directly:

    More info


    I've stripped all UEFI over-clocking as noted above. I've also uploaded the beta version of the log collector, dated 1-12-19. Please take a look and let me know if there's anything actionable there or if I've missed anything. I haven't had a BSOD since the 10th, but i did find my PC completely shutdown today (1/12) and definitely didn't power down, and my PC is on a reliable UPS (this was prior to removing the OC'ing).

    For C:

    Windows has made corrections to the file system.

    There was one reboot without clean shut down on 1/12/2018.

    These are seen with:
    a) non-BSOD crashes
    b) BSOD crashes
    c) Manual power off
    etc.
