I just put together my first PC and have been getting either random freezes where everything becoems unresponsive, requiring me to restart manually, or Whea_Uncorrectable_errors followed by restarts. I looked around and tried some of the suggestions but couldn't figure it out.

Windows 8.1 64-bit
Intel Core i7 @ 4.00GHz
ASUSTeK MAXIMUS VI GENE
Acer S232HL (1920x1080@60Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (EVGA)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (EVGA)
ForceWare version: 344.75
SLI
180GB INTEL SSD
16 gig Rip jaw G SKills RAM
1000P2 EVGA Power source (1000w)

I was getting freezes when I was putting a lot of load on the computer. The first time it froze was when I was installing software right after putting the PC together. Later on it froze again while installing other software. The Whea error happned 3 times, but I hyaven't been able to make it happen on demand. The freeze was repeatable when playing games if I put a lot of strain on the system, but after I updated the drivers for the GPU's and it stopped freezing but then the Whea error returned.

Edit: Just tried making it freeze again. Loaded minecraft and made it generate lots of terrain on fancy/very far render and it gave me the Whea_uncorrectable_error once again. The Temperatures are not even breaking 40°C so its not a heating issue. I've read that this can be from low power supply but I think the 1000W should be okay for what I have.

could use cpu-z to show vcore , or look for it in the bios, but that dose not matter if your bios is set to defult . I would suspect you need a bios update. the motherboard manufacture website should have the latest bios for download , burn that iso on flashdrive or cd , and boot from selected device and follow instructions . That is what I would start with if you tried all the other fixes found on google that are related to whea error

What intel i7 is that ? and is it overclocked? ,, if so would help if we knew vcore voltage, baseclock and multiplier . also ram voltage ,frequency and frequency ratio . If not oc then

looks like the whea error is a common windows 8.1 issue . look , google it and you find many issues like yours

I would go into bios and set it to default , if that dose not help and you still have issue . I would look at the bios version of your motherboard , if there is an update that would help to flash the bios , Use google to find latest bios for your mobo.
If you need to update that bios . Make sure you follow instructions carefully and to the letter
