    BSOD - Gaming Blizzard titles - WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR


    Hi team,

    Please find attached my computers internal details and error logs, msinfo etc etc.

    I've reset BIOS and upgraded all drivers, removed any clocking. Just haven't completed a fresh install which I was hoping to avoid.

    I'd really appreciate any assistance here guys, these BSODs are so frequent now I can't jump in any ranked matches

    Not much fun lads.

    Cheers,
    Kieran

    WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
    A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error
    source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the
    WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error conditon.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000000, Machine Check Exception
    Arg2: ffffa98b1f740028, Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.
    Arg3: 00000000be000000, High order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
    Arg4: 0000000000800400, Low order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
    WHEA error for a MCE fault
    This could point to hardware problem with your CPU but more often also motherboard software and monitoring software can cause this kind of BSODs.
    In this case it's an internal unclassified error, which means it's not publicly documented (which is ironic given it's "unclassified"). However, yes, it's clear you're dealing with an internal CPU fault and not one that could be generated by bus issues or any other external factor other than heat and voltage. Though make dead sure motherboard software isn't interfering; sometimes mobo software will generate CPU faults of this sort because of bugs in their CPU drivers.
    Other than that, no, there's really nothing else you can retrieve from this.

    Thanks for this Lifetec, really appreciate the insight. I'll update these drivers ASAP and go from there. If it continues should i then just go buy a new cpu?

    No, i would if it is necessary first run some CPU tests and upload the dumpfiles again.

    Alrighty,

    Any tips on what CPU tests to run mate?

    I've conducted the 2 odd hours worth of memtest86+ through UEFI format in my BIOS. Updated all the relevant drivers, and now I'm getting some odd diagonal lines that are barely visible running across the entire screen.

    Might be GPU playing up potentially? I'll stop guessing and let you help me I think. :P

    Appreciate the assist so far mate.

    CPU Stress Tests:

    Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool (works in Windows)
    Only need to run 1 or 2 of the tests under most circumstances.
    Download Intel(R) Processor Diagnostic Tool

    Prime95 Stress test your cpu
    See this tutorial Prime95 - Stress Test Your CPU

    Note

    Run Prime95 for up to three hours, unless errors occur sooner. Depending on temperatures feel fee to run the test for longer to thoroughly test overclock or system stability
    Warning

    While running Prime95 your CPU will become incredibly hot, it is imperative that you keep a constant watch of your CPU temperature with a system monitoring utility such as Speccy, Speedfan or HWMonitor. If your CPU temperature does reach dangerous levels stop the Prime95 stress test to prevent inflicting damage on your CPU.
    Videotest Furmark
    To test your GPU you can use Furmark see this tutorial FurMark - GPU Stress Test

    FurMark Setup:
    - If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
    - In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"
    Click "Go" to start the test (Looks like it's "BURN-IN test" now)
    - Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
    NOTE: Set the alarm to go off at 90șC. Then watch the system from that point on. If the system doesn't display a temperature, watch it constantly and turn it off at the first sign of video problems. DO NOT leave it it unmonitored, it can DAMAGE your video card!!!
    If the temperature gets above 100șC, quit the test - the video card is overheating.
    - Click "Quit" to exit

    What you are looking for:
    - excessive heat from the GPU (report back with anything over 90șC)
    - problems with the video display (picture is distorted or jumbled, picture turns black, etc)
    - problems reported by the program (I haven't seen this, but "just in case")

    Alrighty then,

    Fresh install of Windows, updated all core drivers, ran our little friend there FurMark and lo and behold at approximately 76 degrees we got the bsod.

    Looks like it's the GPU from the looks of things. It's a Windforce GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 Gaming.

    Attached a new log file just in case/to review. If it's the GPU i'll just go buy a new one :)

    In the dump/stacktext many references to HAL= hardware but also the mentioning of intelppm and 0x124_GenuineIntel_PROCESSOR_CACHE. So it also could be your CPU that is faulty.
    I would also run the CPU tests before i would be a new GPUcard.
    Have you the possibility to use a other GPUcard (spare/borrow) tot test your system.

    I will grab another GPU and test it out yeah, I have an old Radeon junker laying around somewhere.

    So essentially we are looking at either a new CPU or GPU respectively yeah?

    In the process of running the CPU tests now as well.

    Ok so I ran the Intel Processor Diag tool, no fails, all passed...
    Ran the Prime 95 Stress test and copped the bsod.

    So Bsod during the FurMark, and again during prime95.

    I'll run prime again just to be sure and report back with logs.
