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

  3. If everything is at stock and the BIOS is current and it still crashes, then consider hardware. Contact the CPU vendor's support with the WHEA logs. worked for me anyway 🤷

  5. i'd disagree with going straight back to stock. You can usually keep most of teh benefit by easing teh offset only on the core that fails. idk maybe im wrong lol
