I'm having a lot of issues with my computer recently. It blue screens almost every day, sometimes multiple times, at seemingly random times and every time it's the same WHEA uncorrectable error.
I've been trying to troubleshoot for a while now and here's what i've tried and what i do know...
-cooling seems to working fine. temps don't seem to go over 75-80c so i don't think the pump or cooler is broken
-i've used the intel cpu checking tool and have confirmed nothing is wrong with the cpu
-bios has been reset to defaults for a while now
-drivers/win 10 is up to date. i used to have the asus OC software installed and thought the issue could be related and since then i've been on a fresh install of windows, no third part OC software
-not sure if it could be a psu related issue but i should have enough power going to the cpu. It's plugged into a battery backup so no issues in terms of the power source being flaky
Any more ideas what i can try?
1. sfc /scannow
2. memtest
3. some power supplies are sensitive to upgrades
4. uninstall intel xtu
5. does it cause a blue screen shortly after starting windows? Install ubuntu from a usb drive and boot into it, then test the system for browsing and stability
larrycumming :
1. sfc /scannow
2. memtest
3. some psu doesn't handle uploads well
4. uninstall intel xtu
5. after booting into windows, does it blue screen briefly? After installing ubuntu on a usb stick, try accessing the os to see if it crashes during browsing.
I've run a memtest and sfc checks. What do you think about the psu not handling uploads properly? I don't believe i have xtu installed. It sometimes blue screens for a few minutes, but other times i can play games and use the computer for days without any issues.
this issue might stem from various causes.
1. run chkdsk
2. employ display driver uninstaller (DDU) to remove all graphics drivers (intel, nvidia, amd) and then reinstall the card driver from the manufacturer's site.
