For a while I have been getting bluescreens while playing some resource intensive games, while playing these games I also notice my CPU temperature often being at 90 degrees Celsius. These bluescreens used to all be DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION's (dump) but today i got 2 WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR's reported by my processor right after eachother, when my PC rebooted after one bluescreen the next one came immediately (dump 1 & dump 2).
I hope someone knows how to read dump files and can help me out.

What are the names of said games? Where did you source the installers for said games?

0x124_0_GenuineIntel_PROCESSOR__UNKNOWN_IMAGE_GenuineIntel.sys
Is what I see using WInDBG on two of your .dmp files, see if this thread helps;

These high temperatures are usually in "Sea of Thieves" on the Xbox app for PC. The two most recent crashes which show a hardware error, occurred while playing "Satisfactory" on Steam.

I took a look at the thread and I think the problem is heat, since I often observe these high temperatures while playing Sea of Thieves and all my crashes as far as I can remember are while playing Sea of Thieves or Satisfactory. Today I also saw a temperature of 98 degrees Celsius while launching Sea of Thieves. The thread did not offer a solution for high temperatures though as they ventured down a different path.
