I just completed my first build and am getting frequent WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR crashes. They seem to only occur when trying to load/install things having to do with the graphics or other updates. Windows Update reliably crashes, as does trying to launch certain games from Steam (Torchlight II). If I let the CPU sit idle, browse the web, etc. it doesn't cause any problems.
I'm using the default BIOS settings. I've updated all my drivers and the only odd thing is that while Device Manager recognizes my graphics card and says I have the latest drivers, the bundled software from nvidia doesn't fine "compatible hardware". In any event, given that I can complete Windows Update, I'm stuck on the Microsoft troubleshooting steps.
Obviously I'm really hoping that it's a driver issue and not something with hardware. I'm relatively new to this so not sure how to proceed. Any advice is very much appreciated.
