hello, i just built a new pc, i will list the specs below. while stress testing, the pc crashes with a bsod. ive seen 2 different codes, WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR and Machine-check exception. the last stress test i did, the cpu hit ~88c max. but it crashed 5-10 seconds after i stopped the game and the cpu temp dropped to around 70-80c. sometimes it crashes while stress testing, sometimes it crashes after i quit the stress test and the load is gone. i am very confused because it has never shown in hwinfo that it even throttles, but let alone hits its tjmax when it shuts down. when i first did a normal windows install and drivers, didnt change anything in the bios, the ram was at 2667 by default, i enabled xmp profile 1 and its now running at 3200mhz but it still crashes. gpu temps seem fine. i did a memtest and it passed, i cant figure out the issue, id appreciate some help.


SPECS:

ryzen 5600x with stock cooler
32gb 3200mhz siliconpower ram
msi pro b550m-vc wifi motherboard
rx 6600xt
deepcool 600watt psu
not sure if the ssd is relevant but its a 1TB ssd, if its needed ill find the model
 
Hello. In the best case it's just corrupted windows files, so try that first. If its not that, try going to a service pc shop and they will test every part and figure it out.

i just disabled pbo and cpb and so far its not been crashing, makes me wonder if it was the temps or instability. probably the latter. will continue testing and see if its stable if so, ill try enabling either cpb or pbo because the clock speeds only go up to 3.7ghz with both of them disabled.
