WHEA Uncorrectable Error

Anonymous

Hello, I’ve recently been experiencing numerous BSOD’s, all with the same error code WHEA_CORRECTABLE_ERROR. After each crash there is no mini dump file created and no progress gets made in making a mini dump file while sitting on the BSOD.

What is the best way to diagnose my issue when I do not get a mini dump file?

Some of the things I’ve tried:

  1. Update Drivers
  2. Update BIOS (reset everything to default, XMP and Fastboot disabled)
  3. Ran sfc /scan now (some files were repaired)
  4. Update Chipset Drivers
  5. Ran memtest (no issues)

I’ve checked the event viewer after a BSOD and noticed the following errors:

  1. Error - EventLog - Event ID 6008 - Shutdown was expected
  2. Error - volmgr - Event ID 161 - Dump file created failed
  3. Critical - Kernal-Power - Event ID 41 - System reboot

I’ve recently replaced the CPU and PSU and made sure the RAM was fully seated. The CPU and GPU share a custom water loop and I’ve monitored the temps with HWinfo. Neither component exceeds 75C during use.

Computer Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X

GPU: PNY RTX 3090

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G5

Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Elite WiFi (BIOS - F36e)

SSD’s: Samsung - 980 PRO 1TB (Boot Drive)

      GIGABYTE AORUS Gen4 M.2 2280 1TB (secondary)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is the most basic troubleshooting method. If you have related software, I suggest you perform a stress test for several hours one by one.

    What’s the best way to do this? Stress test each component and see if a failure occurs?

    Received your negative rating, please be patient.

    If so, the problem may lie in other hardware. This error code is rare and usually only represents a hardware error. Maybe you should check GPU, RAM and hard disk one by one.

    Hi A&K, I should have noted that I was receiving the same error prior to changing the hardware. I thought changing the CPU and PSU would fix my issue, but it has not.

    Hello, I'm A&K. I'm glad to be able to help you.

    This error means that a fatal hardware error has occurred in the computer.

    The most likely cause is that one of the hardware you replaced is faulty. I suggest that you first replace the old hardware one by one to confirm which component has the problem.
