CPU temperature & stability
Look for when the problem happens.
Note whether instability happens at idle or under load. Check your processor manufacturer’s temperature limits and your cooler’s installation instructions. Repeated thermal shutdowns are a reason to stop testing and inspect cooling.

All Processor errors →WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR
Critical CPU or chipset hardware error (BSOD 0x124). Caused by voltage instability, overheating or overclocking.
ProcessorCLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
The CPU core stopped responding to an interrupt request. Caused by overclocking or faulty driver.
ProcessorCPU-THERMAL-THROTTLE
This diagnosis detects processor speed limitation events (Event ID 37 or 196 in the Windows System Event Log). The CPU reached its thermal limit and activated throttling to prevent hardware damage, resulting in…
ProcessorMACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
The CPU has detected a fatal hardware error. It could be a faulty processor or motherboard.
ProcessorCPU-VCORE-LOW
Powering the processor below the minimum causes instability and crashes. Common triggers are weak resource, damaged VRM and bad EPS connector.
ProcessorCPPC-NOT-SUPPORTED
Collaborative Processor Performance Control is not active. Reduces the effectiveness of CPU boost.
