PC Problems (Errors)

[Aiden Thursby]

So lately I've been having major problems with my PC basically when I try to start a game such as Far Cry 3 or Mafia 2 it comes up with a message saying "Application Unable to start Error (0cx000007b)" I've also been having a problem where my PC restarts and it comes up with a sad face then next to it, it says "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" It first started when I built my computer I installed Windows 8.1 Enterprise and the same happened I then installed Windows 7 Ultimate and I then installed Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit, My computer is 64 Bit also when I encountered the problem on Windows 7 it came up with a navy blue screen with yellow writing ot goes to fast to read it but it restarts my PC, My PC Specs are... i5 4670K
MSI Z87M G43
XFX 650W Core Edition
Zotac GTX 770
Kingston HyperX Red 8GB 1600Mhz (2x4GB)
Fractal Design Core 1000
Corsair AF120
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
WD Caviar Green 1TB
I have also tried methods for the application error such as drag and dropping dll files into my System 32 I also tried dskchk /c /r that seems to only work with a restart and stops at 10% I started the check at 9PM and it stayed at 10 I woke up at 2PM and checked and it was at the login window also when I try do a registry Scan it does the WHEA Error so the 2 errors are linked. I do also have the latest drivers for my GPU I overclocked my CPU when I set it at default settings it still brings the errors also Windows 8.1 Isn't activated and whether it's legit or not is not open for discussion, Thanks in advance.

Probably your Drive breaking down.
First try System File Checker
Winkey plus 'X'
Choose Command Prompt (Admin)
Type sfc /scannow then Enter

If no improvement, then try one of these

Bootable
http://www.seagate.com/support/internal-hard-drives/consumer-electronics/ld25-series/seatools-dos-master/
Western Digital

Think I would also check out your RAM, try running on one stick at a time and in different slots. Then there's Memtest, bootable best and leave it running overnight...

bugcheck with WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR Is a hardware generated error
most often it caused by a Cache memory error reported by the memory controller inside the CPU.

Most often the cause of the error is overclocking
- incorrect voltage to CPU
- also check voltage to PLL is not too high (see intel spec for chip for VCCPLL for correct range)

if your overclock voltages are ok, most of the time you just need to disable intel turbo boost, c states and maybe hyperthreading
Bad news to let a overclocked cpu overclock itselft with turbo boost

edit: you can look at the crash dump file in windows debugger and use the
!errrec command on the reported address of the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR structure
it will dump what the CPU reported as the problem.

I will dump it for your if you want to place your crash dump on skydrive with public access
