BSOD WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (hal.dll+395cf / ntoskrnl.exe+25bfbd)
Bug Check Code: 0x00000124

Hello,
I started getting these BSOD's after updating my Windows 10 after 2 months of no usage at all.Windows downloaded and installed a lot of updates, maybe it is unrelated but I did a lot of research but I couldn't identify the root-cause of this. Did various tests on CPU and memtest for RAM for 5 hours all went OK. I would love to get some help to pinpoint what's wrong so I can change the defective parts or upgrade the whole system. Thanks in advance.
(ASUS RIVE Intel 3930K)

There were 3 bsod mini dump files that were debugged.
All 3 displayed WHEA 124 error.
This usually indicates a hardware problem.

1) open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
4) chkdsk /scan
5) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread


Sometimes there are problems in the bios that produce bsod.

6) The bios in your computer: BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 4901, 14.05.2014

Please check to see if this is the most up to date version.

7) To ensure that there are no improper bios settings please reset the bios.

Sometimes there can be failure to boot after resetting the bios.

8) So please make sure your files are backed up.

9) Please make a backup image with Macrium:
Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free: Macrium Software | Your Image is Everything

10) And please create a restore point.

11) When testing for WHEA hardware errors we need to systematically check CPU, GPU, memory and drive.

Once the bios is reset and there is no overclocking:


12) Choose one of the temperature monitoring software applications: Speecy, HW monitor, Speed fan:

HWMONITOR | Softwares | CPUID: HWMONITOR | Softwares | CPUID


SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer


13) download and install the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool
When the test completes please use the Microsoft snipping tool to post an image into the thread.

15) Run memtest86+ version 5.01 for at least 8 passes.
This may take hours so plan to run it overnight.
Plan 1 -2 hours /GB RAM


Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool


Microsoft Community


When Memtest86+ has completed 8 or more passes make an image of the results to post into the thread.
MemTest86+ - Test RAM Windows 10 BSOD Tutorials


MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results.
There are significant false negatives if less than passes are made.
The more passes the better.
A false negative is getting a pass with malfunctioning RAM.
Running a test for less than 8 passes is wasting time as it is an inadequate test.
Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight.
We're looking for zero errors here.
Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.


Use a camera or a smart phone camera to take a photo of the result and post the image into the thread.


Addition:
If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.


RAM should not fail under any circumstances (exception for overclocking)

Please make note of the importance of temperature monitoring and aborting the test in the GPU link.

All of these test should be done with the bios reset and no over clocking.


For each of the above tests please record maximum temperatures.
Also record the duration of testing.

Thank you I am starting to do all above mentioned but a quick question before I start. I resetted the BIOS and plugged off all HDDs attached to the system ( I have 5 SATA HDDs) Only the OS SSD is running now , I am assuming this is the correct config to start with)

Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool Test Run Time 05:04:39Attachment 148402Attachment 148404

Hello thanks for your help @zbook first of all,
I started the testing process doing prime95 now it's been running for 1 hour how long should I run it? Or will it complete itself?

I've Run Prime 95 For 2 Hours and 17 Minutes and no errors were found temps are attached tooAttachment 148417Attachment 148418Attachment 148419Attachment 148420Attachment 148421Attachment 148422

Prime95 is designed to run indefinitely and if there is an error it is supposed to abort testing.
Temperature monitoring by the end user is important to be able to abort testing if temperatures remain high.
If there are no problems running prime 95 you can end testing at 3 hours. If you want you can run it longer as the longer the testing the more it will test the stability of the system.

See this link for more information: Prime95 - Stress Test Your CPU Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials

For all drives test them with HD tune and post images into the thread.
This way any hardware can be ruled in/ruled out as a source of the bsod.
For any HD also run Sea tools for windows on the drives using SMART, short and long generic tests:

For any new bsod please post a new zip: BSOD - Posting Instructions - Windows 10 Forums

I was doing memtest+ overnight and unfortunately I think there was a power outage
so I started it over again. Will post the remaining tests as soon as possible.

Running memtest and 44th minute I got this, not an error but interruption
please advise me what to do next.
