BSOD - Bug Check 124 WHEA_UNRECOVERABLE_ERROR new system
Hi everyone, I've just assembled a new PC and am getting frequent BSOD's with error code 124 (unrecoverable hardware error).
** edit: mini-dumps and logs are attached **
On day 1, the blue screens were about an hour apart... now (day two), it blue screens within 30 seconds of Windows loading.
It doesn't blue screen in safe mode.
The motherboard is an Asrock Fatal!ty Killer Z97X. I've downloaded and installed the latest drivers. I didn't install esoteric things like Intel Rapid Start Driver or Intel Management Engine Driver.
CPU is an i7-4790K running at stock clock speed and voltages.
CPU cooler is a Noctua NH-D15.
Power supply is a Cooler Master V850.
Memory is 16GB (2x8GB) RipjawsX DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) (F3-2400C11D-16GXM)
OS is Windows 7 with Windows Update turned on and all updates installed.
I removed the video card (Gigabyte R2 290X) and am using the onboard graphics for now. I uninstalled the Gigabyte software and drivers.
I picked six mini dumps at random, and consistently the error is:
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:* X64_0x124_GenuineIntel_PROCESSOR_CACHE
The specific errors were:
Error******** : DCACHEL0_EVICT_ERR (Proc 6 Bank 1)
Error******** : DCACHEL0_EVICT_ERR (Proc 6 Bank 1)
Error******** : DCACHEL0_EVICT_ERR (Proc 6 Bank 1)
Error******** : DCACHEL0_EVICT_ERR (Proc 6 Bank 1)
Error******** : DCACHEL0_EVICT_ERR (Proc 7 Bank 1)
Error******** : DCACHEL0_SNOOP_ERR (Proc 7 Bank 1)
I stripped the system to bare bones: mainboard, 16GB RAM, CPU + cooler, one drive (OCZ Vertex SSD), 850W power supply, PS2 keyboard, USB wireless mouse.
Is it a bad CPU? Or could there be something else wrong?
