WHEA Logger - A fatal hardware error has occurred

Question

Hi all.

A WHEA fatal hardware error can be caused because of bad drivers? Such as AMD catalyst?

Thank you.

Answer 1

There may be several reasons for WHEA fatal hardware error:

Most common cause of WHEA fatal hardware errors. It can be a malfunctioning CPU, RAM, GPU, motherboard, power supply, or any other hardware component.

Outdated or incompatible device drivers can also lead to hardware errors. Make sure all your drivers, especially those for critical components like the GPU and chipset, are up to date.

A malfunctioning power supply can cause voltage fluctuations and result in hardware errors.

Make sure there is no over heating.

If you're overclocking, revert your hardware to default settings and see if the error persists.

Answer 2

Hi. I don't have any OC on my system, not even XMP.

I've changed the AMD drivers, and the problem went away. It could be that?
