I have done zero overclocking and BIOS settings are at defaults.
Components that have been added since instability occurred:
Intel Core i7 4770k
ASUS Z87-PRO
Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 8GB 2 x 4GB DDR3 1600 MHZ
CORSAIR AX series AX760
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 3TB
Other installed components:
SAMSUNG 830 Series 2.5-Inch 128GB SSD
EVGA "Superclocked" GeForce GTX 770 2GB (new, but stable in previous Sandy Bridge build)
CM Hyper 212 EVO
OS:
Windows 8.1 64-bit (installed to SAMSUNG SSD)
The problem:
WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (blue screen)
Computer crash
When does the problem occur:
The problem occurs frequently anywhere between 10 and 60 minutes. It appears to happen when streaming video (Google Chrome) and playing games (WoW), although it apparently restarts during the day, because I can't access it remotely from work sometimes. This problem began after installing the new components above. I am having trouble diagnosing the problem. I work in the IT field, but I do less and less hardware maintenance every year.
At first I suspected drivers at fault as I did not do a clean install. I broke down and did a clean install last night hoping that would fix the problem, but not long after installing the drivers and starting up a game (WoW) the machine crashed again with the same error. I refused to believe that it was hardware, because I hate the hassle of returns and I hate being without my main machine at home for very long, but I have accepted the fact that this is a hardware problem. Working in IT all day makes me just despise coming home and working on my own computers.
What I have done:
Updated BIOS
Reinstalled Windows w/ correct and most up to date drivers
Memtest 86 (when I left home it was about 88% complete and I expect it to finish without errors - I will update when I get home)
Ran Prime95 to see if I could make the CPU crash. It ran through about 3 different tests on blend over about 2 hours and passed all tests. I saw temps reaching 96c during some phases of the test according to Piriform's Speccy.
Prayed
Any help in diagnosing this so I can return the least number of parts as possible and be on my way are very much appreciated.
