System powers down unexpectedly.
System powers down unexpectedly.
Hi, I'm trying to understand why my PC shuts down unexpectedly. It displays the error code 'WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR'. The system starts normally but powers off after a random delay, showing a blue screen. When I try to restart, I have to press the power and reset buttons before it boots again. Also, a red VGA light appears when I press the power button and reset button. I checked the GPU, replaced it, tried different PCIe slots, and even reinstalled Steam, which fixed the issue. Now Steam works without problems. The blue screen still happens occasionally, which is really frustrating since it disrupts my work and causes data loss. I'm not sure what's causing this problem and need some guidance. Thanks for your help.
Greetings, Pj
Your system appears to be experiencing issues with an unstable CPU. Have you checked your hardware status?
I've experimented with overclocking before and seem to have reset everything. My 3900X runs smoothly at 4.2Ghz, which I think is the default setting. I recently turned off the XMP profile in my BIOS, hoping it would help.
