New PC Build BSOD Error WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR

Yes, Please do and I will take a look. Your System Specs say you are running Windows 8 also. We can deal with that here, but we usually deal with Windows 7. What you were getting in your 3 dump files for 5/23 were all 0X124 errors. That is a generic code for a hardware error. But it can also be caused by a bad driver causing some component to act as though it is failing. What I would like to do is test for bad drivers first. It will be simple, but if it goes wrong it can require a clean install of the operating system. We make every effort so that does not happen, and it has never happened to me. But, the possibility still exists. If you are willing, this is what I would like to do. Be sure to create a Restore Point before enabling Driver verifier. The link to how to do that is below.

   Warning

Be sure to create a System Restore point before proceeding further System Restore Point - Create

Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information

What is Driver Verifier:
It puts stress on the drivers, and tries to make the faulty driver crash the computer. It is designed this way, to attempt to trap the offending driver.

What you will notice:
It will tend to make the computer rather slow and sluggish because the drivers are being stressed.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make sure you have created a system restore point before enabling Driver Verifier. make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any. Also, do not be upset if you get a BSOD. Driver Verifier is designed to make your computer BSOD if there is a bad driver, so hopefully we will catch the bad driver in the dump file.

If you have any questions, please let feel free to ask.

Your graphics driver crashed, just reboot and it will be back. You should notice it being a little slow and sluggish, when Verifier is running. If you followed the instructions in that link, it is working. I hope you sorted Drivers by provider and only enabled drivers NOT provided by Microsoft. Don't enable DV to run on any Microsoft Drivers.

Lucid92, now again, when you say crash do you mean BSOD or do you mean freezing? have you changed you page file amount or location? Try to make yours look like this

Then go to C:/Windows and make sure you have a folder named Minidump. If you don't, create one there named Minidump. Also, how much free space do you have on your Operating System Hard Drive?

Follow these steps:

1. Configure Windows to create minidumps:
Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

2. Set the paging file on C: to be the same size as the physically installed RAM:
Virtual Memory Paging File - Change

3. Set the Windows Error Reporting service to MANUAL:
Services - Start or Disable

The AppData Folder is a hidden folder. You have to change the options to view hidden files or search for it like you did. It is hidden for a reason. Don't make changes to it. If you had a BSOD, you could most likely find it now, couldn't you?

Do you have a Minidump folder in C:/Windows? %SystemRoot%\Minidump
