Hi all!
Recently I was dabbling with some overclocking on my cpu. It appeared stable at 4.0ghz after running Prime95 for 15-20 minutes. I then decided to try running Cities Skylines, which normally ran just fine with stock settings, and after about 45 minutes of play I get the "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE ERROR" blue screen. I then reset back to defaults in BIOS and loaded back into windows. I ran Prime95 again for about 10 minutes and all was fine. I then loaded Cities Skylines and again got the same blue screen after about 45 minutes. I've tried uninstalling Cities a couple times now with no success. I've also noticed that after about 2 hours of streaming, sometimes longer, I will get the same blue screen.
I've done a memory check, ran Prime95 for over 45 minutes consecutively, visually inspected the motherboard for any damages or swelling caps, and tested both SSD's. Everything comes out OK. The only time I get the error is while running a game or streaming video. Normal browsing hasn't seemed to be causing the error.
Could this be an issue with the graphics card? What all should I be looking at and testing to find the issue?
Any input is much appreciated. I know my rig is a bit outdated but I just got it and would like to try and save it if possible. I'm hoping I didn't screw up with the overclock and damage components.
