Hello,
I installed a new AMD Ryzen 5 5600X on my PC few months ago and on the first day it crashed with the very same error I will paste below, and since then it never had crashed. About two weeks ago, my PC started to crash with BSOD WHEA error quite frequently. I have now consistently reproduced the issue after playing for 30 minutes up to hour and a half of Squad.
Here's the full WinDBG Error analyzis:
I was first thinking that it was caused by insufficient PSU capacity. However, even though both the GPU and CPU do recommend a higher W PSU, calculators also vaguely show that even under maximum resource usage, it doesn't jump over 450 to 500W. Still not sure about that, but these are the things I've done so far:
Any suggestions and further troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

---------
I was first thinking that it was caused by insufficient PSU capacity. However, even though both the GPU and CPU do recommend a higher W PSU, calculators also vaguely show that even under maximum resource usage, it doesn't jump over 450 to 500W. Still not sure about that, but these are the things I've done so far:
- All driver updates have been installed. I have also tried the usual file system and image checks and repairs.
- Re-seated RAM
- Reset BIOS and Installed latest drivers.
- Chipset Drivers update.
- Tested Memory Frequencies from 2400 to 3200 (currently sitting on 3200)
- Tested RAM with Window's Diagnostics tool (extended test, resulted in no problems)
- CPU Stress test via AMD Ryzen Master of 60 seconds, no errors, no high temperatures (maximum of 70 to 73 depending on what I am playing). GPU temperatures are also within norm on the low end. Also CPU Stress test via Prime95 to see if it detects any errors, but no entries of such.
- The issue occurs only when playing video games. Doesn't happen during video playing, Youtube, discord usage, photoshop, etc. Only when gaming.
- Reseat CPU with new thermal paste (last one was applied about four months ago so I doubt this will fix it).
- Possible undervoltage? Everywhere I see this processor is maintained at around 1.2~1.37V. However, mine, according to ryzen master works at 1.03~1.06 regardless of usage. I admit I don't like to overclock since I dont understand and allow the system to do its normal automatic boost when necessary, but the voltage, at least I haven't noticed so far to spike above 1.067. Maybe increase that? I don't know tbh.
- Accept the CPU I got was a faulty one and try to replace it. Warranty laws in Europe are finicky, especially in my region. But it is still under warranty and I might have to send it back if I don't find any solution, only for them to be unable to recreate the problem. To be honest I am in severe belief that there's nothing wrong with the processor.
Any suggestions and further troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
