Whatsup fellow gigabyters,
First post on the forums so ill try to be short, sweet and to the point. I built a new gaming computer two weeks ago. The computer works fine when using it for browsing and low load processing, but once i'm in a game I am almost guaranteed to blue screen with a whea_uncorrectable_error. I believe the issue may be linked to the graphics card but at this point i cant say. I've ran windows memory diagnostics tool, updated the bios to latest F4b (beta bios), validated all components are seated correctly, and reinstalled the OS multiple times. I installed Windows 7 with the LAN connection unattached, then once it was installed i updated to Windows 10. Once i got to Windows 10 the drivers for my components automatically installed and all was good until getting into WoW. I notice i can recreate the error 99% of the time when changing the settings in-game from high to ultra. This is what leads me to believe that it is the GPU however, it has happened a few times without changing any video settings.
I recently updated the BIOS to the F4b version, i set the "dummy load" to enabled (the option that doesn't kill the psu if the load gets too low), and set the PCIe version to gen 2. I'm not overclocking and i haven't changed my settings on my bios other than what was just stated. This has been an incredibly long and frustrating 2 weeks and i really hope someone can give me some help or a possible resolution to this. I have WoW running at home and hope to see it still running when i get back from work today.
