Hey guys! So im in the process of completely overhauling my old PC- it starts up and runs well but crashes/freezes/BSODs at seemingly random times. I'll occasionally get the stopcodes "WHEA Uncorrectable Error" and "Critical Process Died", but sometimes the machine just stops and restarts with no indication of what went wrong. So far I've updated the bios, installed the CPU cooler (in case this was possibly a heat related issue), reseated the whole system, updated all drivers, and installed a new SSD- none of which have yielded any results.
Additionally, I'll occasionally get stuck in a bios loop upon restart, and recently noticed that when this happens the machine won't recognize either the disc drive or SDD to boot from. This is typically fixed with a good ol' fashioned restart, but I thought it might be important info for you folks who are much more knowledgable than me.
One last, possibly very important note- im building this around an old 730w Kingwin power supply, as it never gave my old build any problems and met my wattage requirement, but if this seems like it could be a PSU issue then that might be the place to start. Unfortunately, since it's my old unit, I don't have another one on hand to do a 1-1 comparison to.
Thanks in advance everyone, hope this turns out to be an easy fix
