Hi Guys <3

Looking for a bit of help if anyone can maybe give any,

The system seems to be quite unstable, I had a lot of issues running some programs, I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version (F4) and that seems to have helped a bit, but now I have this problem where Photoshop constantly crashes, I get a bluescreen with "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" it keeps happening over and over,

I can play games ok, and intel burntest seems to run at maximum without crashing anything temps seem ok -

System specs are

Gigabyte X299-UD4 (BIOS defaults - I haven't changed a thing)
Intel i7 7820 Skylake-X (with a Coolermaster 212 Hyper Evo cooler)
16GB Team Group Vulcan T-Force Ram,
Palit 1060 GTX
Samsung 960 Evo M.2 256GB
Win 10 pro (fully updated - all drivers are installed and latest)
 
Hmm, well it seems that I might have fixed it,

I had my CPU core voltage set to auto, and I read that the "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" normally means the CPU doesn't have enough voltage.. I turned off auto and hard-coded the vcore to 1.25v and now all the issues seem to have disappeared, temps appear ok with an air cooler - none of the cores go over 70 degrees, (I'm not overclocking)
