Blue screen error code: Whea Uncorrectable error

George Evans · 12 Jan 2019 at 23:26

So i was playing a game and i decided to up the graphics to ultra to test the frame rate and after a few seconds my pc blue screened with error code ‘whea uncorrectable error’. And now every time i try to boot my pc it has the same blue screen error code, i thought it might have been a driver issue so i decided to wipe my ssd’s from the bios setting and try a new boot of windows, but that didnt work so it must be a hardware issue, but i dont want to go out replacing parts without knowing exactly what part is faulty. And to mention i was overclocking my cpu, but it had been fine for at least three days and i had no temperature issues. Anyone who has had this happen to them could give me any advice would be apreciated.

I reset my overclocking settings in the bios and i still can’t boot into windows, just get stuck at the blue screen everytime i turn on or restart my pc.

I downloaded the windows setup for a usb boot drive and i still get the blue screen, i’ve already wiped both my ssd’s with no luck.

That's nearly always a CPU hardware error cause by overclocking. Back off your overclock and try again.

My cpu overclock settings are on the default stock settings, i reset the voltages in the bios and no luck.

Reset the whole BIOS and start from there.

Do you mean to reset the CMOS?

Yeah, or if the BIOS has a reset to defaults option.

I’ve already reset the CMOS, but it doesnt take the motherboard back to the bios it came with when i took it out the box. Is that an issue?
