Hi all

I am experiencing "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" occurring commonly, especially when playing games, although I have also had it when just using Chrome. It seems to be getting worse and has got to the point where I'll load up a game and the computer will BSOD.

.dmp file can be found at http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=51478876419966531661

After searching Google for this error people have suggested that it can be related to high CPU temps causing the BSOD. I checked my CPU temps and they seem to sit around 60c-70c (temp in the room is around 18c) while at idle. Loading any programs, such as steam or Google Chrome will push the temps up to 70c-80c. I know that this CPU has been known to run a bit hot but I thought this seemed a bit hot. If I run a game (just loading it up) the CPU will go up to 100c and then settle around 98c. Running a game will have it sit at 100c at which point I either get the WHEA error or I close the game due to concerns around the temp. I have nothing OC'ed.

What I have tried so far:
Reset BIOS to defaults
Updated BIOS to latest firmware
Updated chipset to latest update
Rolled back recent Windows updates
Applied Arctic silver 5 thermal paste to CPU and cooler (originally had paste the cooler came with)

All of this brought the idle temp down to around 55c, however in the process of opening chrome and typing up this new thread the CPU hit 88c. The GPU is sits around 35c idle.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is happening? I have had this computer for some time now (~1 year) and have not had any issues before. It is a new game (Rainbow six siege) that I first noticed this happening with but I've also experienced the crash while only having Chrome open so I do not think the BSOD is due to the game.

Spec as follows:
OS: Win10 64bit
CPU: i7 4790k (not OC'ed and never has been)
Cooler: Corsair H100i
MB: ASUS Maximus VII Ranger
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 200
HDD: 128GB SSD
RAM: 2 x 8GB

Please let me know if any further information is needed.

Thanks in advance!

Did you clean the fans inside case out when doing the thermal paste? it seems you have a lack of air flow in that case, are all the intake fans working? dust free? should run a program like speedfan just to see what speeds all the fans ruinning at and temperatures rest of components are hitting - i wouldn't use it to control fans or anything but its a useful monitor.

Where is the radiator for cooler placed? http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2394477/h100i-4790k-high-temps.html

My pc just slightly slower than yours and temp here is around 20c as heater is on, but idle my CPU is on 31c and chrome does raise temps a little on load (as i slack and haven't cleaned case filters recently) its never above 55c, and that with the stock Intel cooler. My case designed for positive pressure cooling though so there is that, directly under CPU there is a 180mm intake fan blowing right at CPU heat sink...

WhEA errors can be either hardware or software but your temps are a good place to start.

what make case have you got and what make/model PSU?

Are you running high performance power plan as that sets CPU to run at 100% all the time, that could increase the heat you generating.

I cleaned the front filter which had a little build up of dust but nothing dramatic. I've just checked the fans and they are all very clean (I'm kind of surprised!).

CPU fan is running at 2200rpm and GPU is sitting at 1450rpm.

My case setup is similar to the one in the thread you posted but I have the CPU radiator fans sucking into the case so the CPU is getting cooled by air from outside of the case. There is also 3 fans at the front of the case blowing air in, 1 fan at the back blowing fan out. In this case the PSU is in a separate compartment to the rest of the computer and is cooling itself with its fan.

My GPU sits at 30c and doesn't generally get that hot so I figured my cooling setup was alright.

Case is a NZXT H440 and I have a Corsair AX Series AX760 760W PSU.

I am not running the performance plan.

So you have the radiator at top with 2 fans blowing into it from above?

My brain tells me its still wrong but I haven't used water cooling so it might be okay. In theory the 3 front fans should be enough to keep the pc cool, and create positive air pressure. You sure do have enough intakes, so its strange its getting so hot.
Could be the fans be piercing the radiator and blowing hot air into CPU area, which then recycles and gets blown down again. The water pipes for the H100 might be blocking the top fans air flow and not letting the hot air get blown out - just basing this on pictures of both case & cooler. If H100 facing another direction, its pipes might block exhaust fan, not that you really need one of these as positive air should expel it all fast enough anyway.

there might be some little cyclones going on in case.

Meanwhile can you download and run this: http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed
it looks at error logs and might point to a driver causing the errors, not your temps

copy/paste results in here.

I don't think its anything to do with the fans being dusty mate. Try taking the cooling block off the cpu and reseating it with some decent thermal paste, making sure the block is making full contact and is on nice and tight. It sounds like atm the block isnt making good contact with the cpu or the thermal paste is doing something groovy. 60c idle is crazy for any cpu with watercooling.

Also if your rad is at the top and you got 3 intake fans in the front, you will want to switch your rad fans from sucking into the case, to blowing air from inside the case out.

Hi I hope this help. I've been in this same struggles for the last 3 days. Got the WHEA message 3 days ago computer shut off wouldn't post the whole 9. I just wrote this if you want to see my whole struggle story http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3064671/whea-uncorrectable-error-solution-thermal-paste.html but the solution that worked for me as of a few minutes ago and is still working and in process is changing the thermal paste. I see others have said that and maybe you tried and it doesn't work for you but I did that and it seems that was my solution after 3 PSUs and 3 days of all nighters. Admittedly as i said I just got this to work and I haven't loaded it and the CPU stays at 96-97 but it doesn't seem like that is a thing. When I applied the paste I touched it and it did not feel like something at nearly 200 degrees F and the "mother board" temperature for me is 38c. As i said might not work for your but the paste worked for me.

Hi All

Sorry for the long delay and thanks for the suggestions.

@Colif - The following is the result of WhoCrashed:

The most recent crash was while using Adobe Lightroom. I had suspected that it may have been the game I was playing causing the issues but it still appears to be when the CPU gets hot.

@Karsten75 & USAFRet - I will flip the cooler and post with results.

@nitroxc & jasev01- I suspected that the thermal paste may have been the issue as well but have already re-applied thermal paste and it made no difference. Used Arctic silver 5.

it should help, blowing hot air in the radiator out of the case makes more sense than blowing it into the case. The hot air had no where to go. it rises but you were blowing it back down onto CPU.

Almost every error report says same thing, its a thermal issue

Unfortunately having the hot air blow out of the case has not helped, the temperatures remain the same as they were before the change. I did notice that the crash code was different this time with the error CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

I am tempted to pull the heat sync off again and check to see how the thermal paste I applied is sitting, unless there are any other suggestions?

All while this is happening the GPU hasn't gone above 30c.

Thanks, I think I have the stock cooler so will put that on and see what the temps do.
 
Just as a check and see, what are you running for voltage on the CPU. I have a Z(& Sabertooth with a 4970K and was having temp problems, and one of the solutions was to manually drop the voltage so it didn't run so hot, it was running it at 1.38v on auto. Also, I delidded my CPU which was fun, if you have money for a new processor this would be a last resort thing (I still wound up picking up a Z170 Sabertooth, 6700K and DDR4 RAM), anyhow, between the two, lowering the voltage and delidding the CPU it's brought my temps well into the acceptable range. From what I've read, Asus boards are fairly notorious for overvolting the CPUs. Just something to look into.

Well it looks like it was the cooler! Put in the stock cooler, idle is 35-40c and max temp it got upto was 75c while running the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool, prior to the cooler change it would also go straight to 100c. I will still need try playing my game and making sure it doesn't blue screen but I suspect the issue is fixed.

Is there a way to test the pump on the watercooler unit without putting it back into the PC?

Thanks to everyone who helped fix this, greatly appreciate it :)
