Uncorrectable BSOD Error on Assembled Computer

Uncorrectable BSOD Error on Assembled Computer

The error is caused by a hardware problem, and probably and error with the hard disk, processor, or the RAM, and therefore you will need to troubleshoot that.

For the processor, you will need to check if it is failing due to forced reboot, or the system was turned off using the wrong procedure and then troubleshoot that. For the hard disk, you will need to check that the cable connecting it to the motherboard is not loose or the jumpers have been wrongly configured.

If the problem is the memory, it may be a defective memory, and that could occur when the system is cold or hot, but not all the time. You can use a memory tester to confirm  if RAM is defective or if you have spare memory, you should  try a replacement.

Uncorrectable BSOD Error on Assembled Computer

If you are referring to the “WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR” BSOD, it usually happens on Windows 10 but can also be encountered on Windows 7 and Windows 8. There are many reasons why you receive this error. One is corrupted or incorrectly configured device drivers. Another is a faulty memory module or hard drive.

Overclocking the CPU can also cause the problem because of the amount of heat produced causing the computer to destabilize and trigger the error. There are also times a failed Windows Update can cause this problem. To check, first, you need to test the memory modules. Try inserting the memory modules on another working computer with the same memory type to see if the error follows.

If the error appeared on the other computer, try checking which of the memory modules has a problem if you have more than one memory modules. Insert only one then if there is no error, remove it then insert the other one. Once you located which module is faulty, buy a new one and replace it.

On the other hand, if there is no problem with the memory, the next to check is the hard drive. Reinstall all the memory modules on the computer then boot in Safe Mode. Start the computer then press F8 before the Windows logo appears. In “Advanced Boot Options” screen, scroll down and select “Safe Mode” then hit Enter to boot.

Once in Safe Mode, click “Start” then in the search box type without quotes “chkdsk”. From the search result, right-click “chkdsk.exe” then select “Run as administrator”. CHKDSK will try to fix any error it can find on the drive.
