WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR caused by Ntoskrnl.exe apparently

[Pyrogt]

I have constant Blue Screens or system crashes. On Blue screen viewer it says

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR was caused by caused by Ntoskrnl.exe

and WhoCrashed says

On Tue 4/26/2011 3:45:46 PM your computer crashed
This was likely caused by the following module: hardware
Bugcheck code: 0x124 (0x0, 0xFFFFFA80037CD8F8, 0x0, 0x0)

Another thing is that it crashes during Games and one certain game especially.

Looks like a hardware or driver issue. Video is a good place to start. Have your video drivers been updated lately, i.e., by you or windows update? If by windows update, you could uninstall the update, or System Restore to a point pre-dating the problem. If this solves the problem, just be sure to change update settings to manual until the driver update reappears so that you can hide that update.

If the drivers haven't been recently updated, I suggest first unseating and reseating the video card, RAM and other cards (being sure to unplug the machine first and ground yourself (i.e., bare arm against case) against the machine before handling the cards). If the blue screen still occurs, try updating your drivers with mfr's drivers.

If the problem still exists after this, post your blue screen data in the Crashes and Debugging forum as stated here:

This is a hardware error caused by defective components such as CPU, RAM, GPU etc

Another thing is that it crashes during Games and one certain game especially.

This is likely a RAM/GPU issue

Test your GPU http://downloads.guru3d.com/OCCT-(OverClock-Checking-Tool)-3.0.0-download-1880.html
Are you overclocking?

 

[Pyrogt]

lol I was just looking at another post of yours yowanvista, no im not OC'ing I rann that OCCT thing and it said error detected on Core #0

Is there something I can post up here for you guys to see and tell me what driver or whatever it is?

I have a hard time finding my drivers especially ones compatible with Win 7, is there a tool that can find and download them for me?

The problem lies in your CPU, software/drivers are absolutely not involved in this crash
Check if your CPU is properly seated in the socket and ensure that it is not overheating

This test below will tell us if your CPU is defective or not

   Information

Run Prime 95 again to test your CPU.. Carefully the instructions in this tutorial: CPU - Stress Test with Prime95. Run 3 separate tests, one on each of the settings (Blend, Small FFTs, Large FFTs). Post back with your results.

I had something done to the CPU about a year ago, I cant remember what it was. I remember having to go get the stuff to put underneath of the CPU like the coolant or whatever, How do i make sure it is seated correctly and everything?

You may be referring to thermal paste/grease
Just remove the CPU, apply new thermal paste and re-seat it in the socket
Then perform the test above but monitor the CPU temperature with Core Temp

I remember upping the volts on something. could that be a problem?

Yes it could possibly be a cause, just reset your BIOS to default values

 

[Pyrogt]

Ok, I'll try the CPU thing then if that doesnt work I'll try the bios defaults, about that Driver finding tool, is there such a thing?

Driver Updaters are purely useless, don't use them. Your problem lies in your CPU/Hardware, it has nothing to do with drivers/windows/programs etc
Post the results after testing

Yes yes, I understand i was just thinking about Changing my OS, to a diff windows 7 and I was having issues finding my drivers in the begining.

Ok so I reseat(ed) my CPU, Put a little too much thermal paste (I think) on it, so when I run occt, it said CPU too hot, I upped the max temp from 80 to 110. Its pushing 101, 102 was the worst I saw it, So imma re appl thermal paste.


Edit: Ok, So I reapplied it and its still hitting 100 so idk whats wrong, atleast its not giving me Core Error, Maybe if I take the side off it wont be so hot?

Also how would I know if I put too much or not enough?

Edit 2: Now i got error detected on Core #0. idk whats up with it.
3: Now it got past 0 and says error detected on Core #1

You should replace your CPU, it looks defective to me

Btw, Im running a quad core.

Alright, Ill stress test it on some games or something. Can you give me a reccomendation for a good CPU not too pricey? Btw, Thanks for all of your help with this.

A Q9550 would be fine

Ok, Im getting a bunch of the same BSOD's now and im using WhoCrashed and I get this,

On Tue 5/10/2011 1:07:41 PM your computer crashed
This was likely caused by the following module: ntfs.sys

And like I said, Thanks for all your help.
