Hello,
So recently I've started getting a lot of problems with the WHEA error. Thing is, this could in theory be to do with my CPU (I7 4790k) because under normal circumstances, the bloody BIOS defaults to stupidly huge voltage for the chip (Gigabyte z97-udh3, known error, cannot fix it in BIOS it seems) so I have to use the Intel Utility to set the voltages manually. Problem is that I have set these to the Intel recommendations, and even a bit above and my processor runs cool under even big stress (I have a custom cooler, did Prime95 for a bit) YET this error will randomly occur even in, say Word 10 or while browsing light content on the Internet. Meanwhile, sometimes it will happen while playing a video or an mp3 track YET it will very rarely happen in games, where the CPU should be under most stress.
I also thought it might be the fact I have 2x2 different sticks of RAM but those were thoroughly checked for errors AND they worked fine together for years now (set them to the same frequencies in BIOS and everything) but this problem is only recent.
So, I got a hold of the last five of my BlueScreenView crash logs.. hopefully someone can figure this out. Bonus points if anyone could point me towards solving the CPU voltage issue in BIOS without having to do it manually with the Intel XTU utility, since I will bet that this causes some problems, even if not necessarily the main one. Yet, if I don't touch it at all the CPU just gets fed a butt ton of voltage (the default states around 4k, which is silly ofc) and thus overheats too much even when idling.
