[SOLVED] I need help with BSOD

[Reduks]

Hello everyone, I've been having quite a few BSOD recently and it's really getting on my nerves, I'm hoping one of you guys can help me.

My computer tends to bluescreen either on startup, or when playing games and it's really annoying, i get the error code WHEA_UNCORRETABLE_ERROR. Below is an image of the crash dump file

I don't know what else to say, i'm not a very technical person so i really hope some of you can help. If you need more information i will try to find it. Thanks

I might have narrowed the search down a bit. I ran BurnInTest and everything passed. I also ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and past, but when i ran Furmark i got the BSOD. Does this mean that it is the GPU, and is it guaranteed to be a hardware problem, or could it be a faulty or missing driver? Any help is much appreciated 😀

Can you go to c:/windows /minidump folder, copy the files from here to another folder. Upload the files from the new folder to a file sharing website and show the link here, and I will get someone to convert them.
If you get a BSOD running a test on the GPU it is probably a clue.
WHEA stands for Windows Hardware Error Architecture. It is an error called by the CPU but not necessarily caused by it.
Dumps may show more.
Can be caused by heat so have you cleaned inside case recently?
Can be software too.

Hey thanks a lot for the answer. I should probably say that this issue started appearing shortly after changing a bunch of parts in my pc. I changed the cpu, gpu, motherboard, psu and put in a new ssd. I don't know if this is relevant but thought I would say it anyways just in case. About the temperatur, I have had OpenHardwareMonitor open for a while, also just before a BSOD and the gpu never get above 70C, so I don't think this is an issue. Here is a link to the dump files. The computer have crashed way more than two times, but for whatever reason I only have two dump files. https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArFG_R_Nf7dDb_7TXdBdh_2vWzM?e=pCZbsu

Hi, I ran the dump files through the debugger and got the following information: https://jsfiddle.net/k45Lpwmy/show This link is for anyone wanting to help. You do not have to view it. It is safe to "run the fiddle" as the page asks.

Possible Motherboard page: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X570-GAMING-X-rev-10#kf
You are using BIOS version F11. If you are using Revision 1.0 of the motherboard, there are BIOS updates available. Wait for additional information before deciding to update or not. Important: Verify that I have linked to the correct motherboard. Updating your BIOS can be risky. Never try it when you might lose power (lightning storms, recent power outages, etc).

This information can be used by others to help you. Someone else will post with more information. Please wait for additional answers. Good luck.

what nvme drive do you have in the PC?

Both errors mention
storport!.sys which is part of the windows storage drivers.
stornvme.sys - Microsoft NVM Express Storport Miniport Driver

So most makers of nvme have their testing software. I would suggest testing the nvme drive

. The computer have crashed way more than two times, but for whatever reason I only have two dump files.

if the problem is the nvme it won't be recording dumps after it crashes.

 

[Reduks]

Thanks for the responses guys. The link does indeed link to the correct motherboard, but since I've heard many horror stories with updating the BIOS I rather not do it unless it's 100% certain that it will help. My nvme drive is called WD_BLACK 720. What would be the best way to test it?

 

[Colif]

Try running this on it - https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?p=279

BIOS Update. All the updates since his version are for the new XT version of Ryzen and since you are on an 3700X it may not benefit you. Although BIOS updates are one way to fix WHEA errors, it appears these are caused by storage.

 

[Reduks]

Sorry for the late response. I downloaded the software and ran both a long test and a short test, it also says that the drives health is "Normal".

now just ignore all the codes and just look at the text at the end.

that too me looks like its the nvme, even though its passing the tests

Error 2( very similar)

they are pretty much same thing, the NVME controller seems to be causing the problem. The controller is on the NVME. I don't know if the WD software would see a bad controller

Now lets look at software.
Update your bios, you on F11 and there are 4 since though 2 are just updates to let motherboard use more CPU. Might still help.
install newest chipset driver
nvme looked after by CPU so not any software I can offer.

 

[Reduks]

Thanks for the quick response. I have updated the BIOS to version F31b and updated the chipset driver, however the issue persists. Should I try to put the NVME in another m.2 slot on the motherboard, or will it be useless?

 

[Colif]

if the problem is the nvme controller, and that is on the nvme, where you put drive won't really fix it.

We used to have WD reps who I would ask right now what they thought but they don't exist anymore.

I would maybe ask Western digital - you can contact them here via the Ask a question box via email. and perhaps link to this post and see what they say about the errors. https://support.wdc.com/contact.aspx

 

[Reduks]

Thanks for the response. I will ask them and link this thread

 

[Reduks]

Hello again. I contacted WD, but sadly the response I got was something along the lines of; "From the screenshots you provided us, it seems like you drive is working fine" not exactly the response I was hoping for, he also recommended putting the drive into another machine, but sadly this is not an option, as I do not have access to another machine to try it on. I honestly have no idea what to do from here. I'm kinda lost.

 

[Colif]

I wonder if I am wrong. I would suggest you ask on here, follow their posting instructions and just see if they think its the NVME as well.

you can link to this thread if you like, some of them over there come here too sometimes.

updating BIOS might still help but see what they say. I haven't given up but I want a 2nd opinion from people who know how to read dumps.

 

[Colif]

i won't comment in that thread again, I seem to confuse them too much

What did you show WD exactly?

 

[Reduks]

Haha. Don't worry I think they figured it out . I showed them the same screenshots that I have posted in here and the dump files, as well as some report thing from their desktop app (Dashboard).

 

[Colif]

I am sure they did.

Maybe we can give them something more conclusive. See what you get over there.

 

[Colif]

i hope driver verifier doesn't leave you in a boot loop.

It seems like uninstalling a bunch of Logitech drivers did the trick. I have no idea why they were such a problem, but for whatever reason they were. Thanks you so much for your help Colif.
