Hi,
I get a consistent BSOD thirty seconds after booting into Windows 10, but stable in BIOS. What could be the likely culprit?
Specs:
CPU: i7 9700k (at stock)
Motherboard: Z390 Gigabyte Aorus Pro Wifi
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken x62 AIO
GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 XC Ultra
RAM: HyperX Predator RGB 32GB (4x 8GB) 3200MHz DDR4
PSU: EVGA 750W Supernova G3
Storage: 1TB Samsung SSD
I’ve had this problem for around 5 months. PC built by myself in 2019, working like a dream up until this point. I turn on the PC, it gets to BIOS okay – temperatures look normal and everything looks fine. I have never tried to overclock nor changed any settings.
Boots through to Windows 10 but within 30 seconds I get a BSOD with the message ‘WHEA uncorrectable error’ and it restarts. This is consistent and happens each and every time I boot into Windows 10. I’ve tried leaving it idling in BIOS for a couple of hours, which didn’t cause any errors.
The only other strange thing prior to this, on a couple of occasions, I would turn on the PC – lights on in case, nothing appearing on monitor but red DRAM LED lit up on motherboard. After 10 seconds the system would reboot and be absolutely fine.
Presumably this is a hardware problem... or is it – I’m trying to work out what the most likely culprit component is and would appreciate any help or advice!
Using BlueScreenView to look at the mini dumps shows hal.dll, PSHED.dll and ntoskrnl.exe to be implicated.
Here is a link to the mini dumps: Mini Dumps
So far I have tried:
The BSOD happens way before I am able to do any in-Windows diagnostics, although I just about managed to get some of the earlier mini dumps on a USB. Unfortunately I don’t have any other CPU or motherboards I could use to test.
Not sure what to try next. Is it normal to be able to make it to BIOS if the motherboard/CPU/PSU is faulty?
Thank you for any help or pointers.

So far I have tried:
- Running in Safe Mode (same thing happens after entering Windows)
- Unplugging and re-attaching any cables
- Removing graphics card
- Trying with a single stick of RAM, used a combination of different stick and DIMM slot
- Running memtest with all 4 sticks of RAM inserted – no problems
- Disabling and re-enabling XMP
- Inspecting CPU and socket – no obvious bent pins, reinserted and applied new thermal paste
- Removed my 1TB SSD and tried to install Windows 10 on a new 250GB SSD – BSOD when trying to install with varying message codes.
- Tried using SSD with different SATA port on motherboard
- Resetting BIOS settings to default recommended
- Updating BIOS to latest version via USB flash
The BSOD happens way before I am able to do any in-Windows diagnostics, although I just about managed to get some of the earlier mini dumps on a USB. Unfortunately I don’t have any other CPU or motherboards I could use to test.
