    my PC keeps crashing with this, usually under light load:

    WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. It passed hours of stress testing when i set up a CPU overclock, sooo i assumed it was stable. Now Im not so sure. Event Viewer has WHEA-Logger entries too. Is the CPU damaged? i dont have any other tweaks besides that one, and teh rest of teh system is at default. The idea of my CPU being damaged makes me a bit sick, so Id love to rule that out.

    is anything tuned right now, or is it fully stock??

    WHEA errors are reported by the hardware itself. With an undervolt or negative offset, light loads and idle are exactly where instability shows up, because voltage drops when the chip boosts signle cores. Stress tests at full load dont catch it.

    oof reset teh BIOS to defaults (or load optimized defaults) and run that way for a week. If the crashes stop, it was an undervolt, not damage. worked for me anyway 🤷

    If everything is at stock and the BIOS is current and it still crashes, then consider hardware. Contact teh CPU vendor's support with teh WHEA logs.

    hmm idk not everyone needs CoreCycler... for many people, simply removing teh tweak is teh right answer. just my 2 cents

    @mateo.nolan wowww ok redid a CPU overclock from scratch after the BIOS update with smaller steps. Stable now and I understand why it broke.
