Help! Dealing with Persistent BSOD WHEA Uncorrectable Errors

Asked By TechieWizard947 On

I've been struggling with the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124) on my upgraded PC for the past few months. It's been a real headache recently! Initially, it seemed intermittent, but it keeps resurfacing. I've isolated my RAM and ran tests on individual sticks without finding issues there. My recent dump files point to AuthenticAMD.sys as the culprit, but I'm not entirely convinced. Here are my specs for reference:
- AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
- Asus ROG B550-F Gaming WIFI II
- Kingston FURY 32GB KIT DDR4 3200MHz CL16
- Asus TUF GAMING Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 OC 12GB
- Crucial 1 TB M.2 SSD

I've also run Prime95 under high temps before cleaning my PC, which improved the temps but didn't help with the error. I really need to figure out if something is failing or if there's another issue at play. If you need any more info or my dump files, just let me know!

Definitely check your CPU settings and voltages as mentioned. The 5900X can indeed be finicky with voltages. If you need to adjust, you could set a static voltage of 1.3V for the core. Just be cautious with the SoC voltage—1.3V might be on the edge of too high unless you're comfortable experimenting. Monitor the system for any overheating or stability issues after any changes!

It sounds like you've done a solid job isolating the RAM issues! Just to clarify, the WHEA error often points to hardware, especially with the CPU or a related device, rather than a driver problem. The driver that logs the error is usually AuthenticAMD.sys, which can be misleading. Make sure to disable any overclocking settings in the BIOS, particularly Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO). If that doesn't stabilize your system, you might want to tweak the CPU voltage. Just remember, you can only do one adjustment at a time! Check your motherboard settings for voltage offset options.

Good call on checking the voltages, those can definitely be tricky. Your current VDDCD CPU Voltage is quite high at 1.472V for the auto setting. Try disabling PBO and see how your system behaves on default settings first. If you still hit issues, adjusting the voltage offsets to +0.050V might help. Remember, make small changes and test your stability afterward! This way, you can find a good balance without over-volting.
