Constant BSOD WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR while playing Vermintide

Jipper · 31 Oct 2015

So, my PC has had few BSODs prior to this, but now something is wrong and severely. I'm getting BSODs at least once in every match I play in vermintide. Been doing my best doing memchecks, resetting BIOS settings and trying out RAM sticks solo and in different slots (it actually gave me stability for a short while but it's now gone again). Drivers up to date as far as I know.

Specs:
Asus Z97 Pro Gamer
i7 4790K
GTX 970
2 x 8 Gb DDR3
600W PSU
Windows 10 on SSD

Error code:
WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0xffffe001be6c8028, 0x00000000be000000, 0x0000000000800400

EDIT:
Found something. Could be CPU heat. Seems like bios is giving me false temps. Open hardware monitor claims my CPU cores are running at 90-100°C while I'm playing. Seems box cooler isn't up for the task. It has been doing well for any other game though.

EDIT2:
Found out from Intel's forums that outdated bios might also be causing this. Will buy a new USB drive from my workplace tomorrow and update bios. Will report temperatures and situation.

EDIT3: Found an old USB drive. Updated bios. No noticeable effect. Maybe 5 degrees or so down from idle temperatures, nothing under stress. Might try reapplying thermal paste to the 4 month old stock heatsink. If it doesn't help and you guys can find something from the logs telling about CPU or temperatures, I guess it's time to buy a new cooler for my CPU. I've been using stock ones so far without any problems though...

The errors are 0x124 WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (Windows Hardware Error Architecture)
This means that there are problems with your hardware, but this error is also caused by overclocking, faulty drivers or BIOS problems.

STOP 0x124 Troubleshooting

Read carefully before proceeding.

Warning

If you're overclocking your system, revert back to stock clocks now.

Note

Test the system once the overclock is removed before continuing with the steps outlined below.

Part One: CPU Stress Test
Part Two: MemTest86+ RAM Diagnostic
Part Three: Hard Drive Diagnostics
Part Four: GPU Stress Test

ONE

CPU TEST

Run Prime95 to stress test your CPU. Prime95 - Stress Test Your CPU - Windows 10 Forums

Warning

Your CPU temperatures will rise quickly while under this stress test. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.

TWO

RAM TEST

Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums

Note

MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking forzero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

THREE

HDD TEST

Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...s-how-use.html

Note

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

Run chkdsk http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...isk-check.html

FOUR

GPU TEST

Run Furmark to stress test your GPU. FurMark - GPU Stress Test - Windows 10 Forums

Note

Run Furmark for around 30 minutes.

Warning

Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.
