Question BSOD - WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR

[absyion]

Hello,
I have searched for a similar solution, but what I've tried so far has not worked, and I am not that tech savvy so I do not know what I should be doing next. It seems to be a CPU problem, and the BSODs, while they would happen infrequently, have been very frequent for the past 2 days (I can use my PC for hours without any problem, then I'll have incessant BSODs for the next 2h).
That being said, I acknowledge that my CPU is an i7-2600k, which is very old, but I've ran a temperature monitor during gaming (Monster Hunter World on max and also Black Desert Online) and it did not go over 40 Celsius, and I would not get any BSOD during those gaming sessions.
Yet, sometimes, even when not gaming or doing anything CPU intensive, I will get a few BSODs within minutes. I've literally just reinstalled Windows (which was littered with many obstacles, for some reason), and I still have BSODs.
Another point: I haven't had a single BSOD since running in Safe Mode, which is what I'm doing now. It makes me think that perhaps it is GPU related?

Nothing in my PC is overclocked.

Here is one of the dump files:

I do hope I don't have to change my CPU, because that'll also mean changing the MoBo (hard to find compatible MoBos/CPUs for such old hardware), and this is not within my current financial situation.

Thank you!

Ideally you should list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

I see you're on version 1903 for your OS. Can you try and update the OS to 1909? If not, see if you can create a bootable installer using Windows Media Creation Tools and reinstall the OS(after backing up your critical content).

You should also mention older and newer hardware(in case you performed a hardware upgrade).

Hello Lufij and thank you for your answer.

Here are my specs:
CPU: i7-2600k @ 3.4GHz (8 CPUs), ~3,5 GHz
Old piece, I've had it since 2011
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z68
Old piece, I've had it since 2011
Ram: 32 GB of RAM
2 8 GB sticks are new (August 2019), 2 are old
SSD/HDD:
Windows SSD: OCZ-VERTEX450
1 TB HDD: WDC WD1003FZEX-00MK2A0
SSD: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB
I also have an unplugged external 2 TB hard drive
Various ages, the most recent being 18 months old or so
GPU: MSI Gaming Radeon RX 570 256-bit 8GB GDRR5
Bought in August 2019
PSU: CX 750M
Sept/Oct 2019
Chassis: NZXT Phantom
Old, bought it in 2011
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Fresh reinstall (as of today), still BSOD's

I have just reinstalled Windows (before my first post) and the problem persists.
Like mentioned, my PC does not have BSODs in safe mode, where the graphic drivers are not used (small resolution, and both my monitors are duplicates).
The upgrades I've done in August 2019 are a new GPU and 2 new RAM sticks of 8 GB, as well as 3 new 120 mm fans.

I will try to update Windows in the meantime, and reset my CMOS.

Thank you!

I've removed and put back my mobo battery and now Windows doesn't even load.

I've gotten a bsod every time it would boot up or it would outright reboot.
I've had the same bsod error message, as well as a machine_check_exception message, a system_thread_exception_not_handled and a page_fault_in_nonpaged_area message. 🙁

I have a new 3V battery I could put instead of the old mobo battery. Think I should give it a try and replace it? Thank you.

Memory is guaranteed in the form sold. Your unknown (old & new) memory would not have any guarantee to be compatible together.

 

[absyion]

You mean that there's no guarantee that they are compatible together? And if so, removing the old (or new) RAM sticks would help?

Thank you!

Edit: I just rechecked and all 4 are in fact new and are 4x the same.
