Hi all,
Stepped away from the PC for 2 hours or so. When I got back I turned one screen on and had no display signal. I turned the second screen on and was greeted by the image below:

PC Had hard locked and didn't respond to anything. The RGB on my ram for what it's worth had also stopped flashing/waving.

- The graphics card is a 3080 Ti. Around 3 months old. No issues previously
- I added a new 4tb hard drive around 2 weeks ago
- Prior to the hard drive swap I would ocassionaly see WHEA errors in HwInfo but since the swap I've not seen one
- Nothing else has changed and it's all been fine
- Nothing in the event viewer to give me any indication of what it might be

*Edit*
I just ran sfc /scannow and it did find corrupt files and in event viewer I do have this:

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
With this code: 0x8000400000000002 (?) which is taken from the System node.

What was the event code for the WHEA errors?

Could be infinity fabric / ram issues especially if you had data corruption.
 
Hi,
So I had no issues since posting this and hadn't seen any Whea errors for couple of weeks. Today however I have had a Whea error reported in HWInfo. I've looked it up and it has event id of 19.

I did some digging into this and it seems it is really common with Ryzen and possibly a memory setting issue. I do have xmp enabled but after digging through posts on other forums, seems people have removed that and set it manually. I also discovered Ryzen memory calculator but not 100% sure on how to use it.

my favourite website as a teenager just discovering the internet replaced them stars with something else. im sure it was made by a guy called rob lol.

any graphical oddity makes you worry 10 times more now, hope its not a dead gpu.
 
Event 19 would usually be fclk related maybe try a bios update or playing with the VDDG IOD, had to up this by 0.05mv on my board else it threw a tonne of event 19s although I was pushing 1900fclk.
