BSOD DMP File Help

[Rezhyn]

If anyone could decode this and give me some general advice would be great, I get very random BSOD that say 'WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' during gaming (3 this week). I did update a few drivers/windows a couple weeks ago and it seems to be relevant to that. Im currently doing a full wipe of the PC as it has been a while, just curious if anyone has some specifics. Thanks!

the image was of a bugcheck caused because a driver attempted to write to a bogus memory address (20)
this address is more likely a header size and would be caused by a driver corruption its own data or the date of the driver next to it in memory. (and remove any overclock drivers)

generally, you would update the bios and motherboard drivers from the motherboard vendors website as a first fix attempt.

these problems tend to be difficult to find and would require that you run verifier.exe functions to force the system to bugcheck when a driver writes outside of its assigned memory areas.

you should try the first method, (update bios and motherboard drivers) and if you still get bugchecks you should put the files from c:\windows\minidump directory onto a cloud server, share them for public access and post a link. Sometimes one of the bugchecks will point to the bad driver or suspect drivers can be determined by the list of drivers installed.

failing that you would have to use verifier tests to get the system to crash.

I fully wiped my PC and reinstalled Windows. I havent manually updated anything, should I use it for now and see if I blue screen again? Not sure if thats safe or not - or could I easily run the verifiers now in attempts of finding something?

generally you would update the motherboard drivers (but do not install the utilities)
and see if you still have a problem. if you do, i would run verifier
ie start cmd.exe or powershell.exe as an admin then run
verifier.exe /standard /all
and reboot.

it is best that you change the memory dump from a minidump to a kernel dump so that more debug info will be saved in c:\windows\memory.dmp file (just in case it finds a problem)

be sure you know how to get into safe mode so you can turn off verifier via
verifier.exe /reset
if your machine bugchecks during the boot up process.
(you have to turn off verifier after you are done testing and get a memory dump or your machine will run slowly until you turn it off) verifier check each driver for common programming mistakes. it calls a bugcheck on the first problem it finds.

generally, WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR while gaming will be power or heat related problems. you have to look at the system up timer in the memory dump and see how long the system has been up.
if the timer indicates less than 15 seconds then most likely the motherboard logic detected a power problem and reset the cpu and it rebooted.
and the power supply let the cpu start too early. some cheap power supplies fake the signal to the motherboard that indicates the power is stable.
