Okay so I've been using a Ryzen 5 1600 in my new system WITHOUT OC for about 3-4 months now. Today I got a BSOD (WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR) while browsing in Firefox and since then I am anxiously trying to understand why it happened.
Also one or two days ago I was playing Dying Light and it crashed too. Not a BSOD, just the game crashed. Don't know if it's relevant. It hasn't crashed again though.
After BSOD, I ran Cinebench CPU test 10 times without letting the cpu cool down and it didn't crash.
Then I proceeded to a blend test on Prime95, I saw a max temp of 75C. I then got "Prime 95 has stopped working" error. Anxiety meter is through the frickin roof right now! CPU is not overclocked, it's running at stock speeds and Prime95 stops working. I can only hope that the cause is RAM OC.
System (as it exactly is and was when I got BSOD):
-Cpu: Ryzen 5 1600, NO OC, stock cooler.
-Motherboard: MSI B350 Tomahawk, Bios Version: 1.8
-Gpu: Asus GTX1080 Strix, NO OC.
-RAM: 16GB GSkill F4-3200C14-8GTZKY, 3200Mhz @ 1.35V (Just set it to 3200MHZ CL14 from Bios).
-SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 240GB
-HDD: Don't know, got it from my father's old laptop. HWINFO says "Seagate ST975042AS [750GB, 16MB]".
-PSU: Seasonic M12II Evo Edition.
Also, in the past months, none of my OC attempts were successful with this particular CPU, I can't even get it to work with 3.7GHz @1.35V (I didn't push it further than 1.35 volts with stock cooler). Seeing as people OC it with the stock cooler without any problems, and now that I got a BSOD out of nowhere, I'm starting to believe that I may have a faulty chip.
So what do I do ? How do I detect which hardware was faulty/responsible for BSOD ? It's been 3 hours since BSOD and I didn't have any more BSOD's yet. Can it be a one time thing ? I read somewhere that even a faulty flash driver might cause a BSOD. All help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
