Wish you started with this error... This error basically says: core 7 has a CPU cache error. In other words, you have a defective L1 or L2 cache on your CPU. Now this can be caused by an overclock and in that case is not covered by warranty. If the CPU is stock or with PBO defaults and still crashes, you can RMA it. I personally had a 5950x with 2 defective cores. Core 3 errors, Core 5 errors and has the same WHEA-18 error, meaning the cache for core 5 is faulty. You cannot fix this with any bios setting. You have to RMA the CPU as I had with mine. Maybe your next CPU is a silicon lottery winner like mine was.
It seems strange. I changed the GPU from my RTX 3060 to a friend's RTX 2060 and haven't experienced any crashes or blue screens. Is it possible the issue is with the CPU?
WHEA 18 indicates a CPU core hardware problem. You could potentially work around it by slowing down the processor or addressing other bottlenecks, but the core or cache is likely faulty. This issue can recur randomly, sometimes every few hours or up to three days, depending on whether critical operations affect that cache and cause data corruption.
Your GPU seems fine, but it’s not necessary to return it. You can return just the CPU if needed.
If it's your GPU, it should crash to desktop because GPUs are graphics boosters and aren't essential. When rebooting, it’s not the GPU causing the issue. Also, what do you mean by a "fara" OC?
