I7 9700F - PC crashing "0x124_7_GenuineIntel_IMAGE_GenuineIntel.sys"

Hello. My PC is crashing and it seems to be related to my CPU, a I7 9700F. It´s a brand new PC that I built four months ago:

Gigabyte Z390 GAMING X-CF; BIOS F9 15/10/2019
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (64 bits) 1909 (10.0.18363)
Intel® Core™ i7-9700F CPU @ 3.00GHz with Corsair H60 Watercooler
AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
32GB DDR4 Adata
Corsair TX850 power supply
SSD WD Black SN750 NVMev 1TB + 1TB HDD
Asus Xonar DGX sound card
Samsung UN48JU6500 4K TV
Kaspersky Total security
 
Everything is brand new, except the power supply and the HDD.
All drivers are updated.
Temperatures are normal. Highest CPU temperature is around 60 celsius degrees.
I run Prime95 for one hour under extreme stress and I could't replicate the crash.
 
The crash has happened several times. It's not a blue screen. I've got a black screen and an intermittent sound. At first, it only happened playing X-Plane 11. I've found out that changing the screen resolution while I was playing X-Plane 11 could trigger the issue. The most weird thing is that the black screen only happened if I was using some specific planes in the the simulator, so I thought the issue was related with X-Plane. But then the same balck screen happened with Prepar3d v4 and Microsoft Simulator 2020. I've played Red Dead Redemption 2 for more than 100 hours and never got the issue, it only happened while I was playing those flight sims. It's completely random. It may crash any time.
So, is my brand new CPU faulty? What should I do to try to solve this issue?
I tried to attach the mini dump files, but it didn't let me, so I've uploaded to Google Drive and copied and pasted to a notepad file (attached to this topic).
 
Thank you for your help.

Hello zecanelao,   

 

Thank you for your reply. 

 

Based on the dump file and Microsoft's documentation, this error just shows a BOOT error: 

 

A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error 

source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the 

WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error condition.  

 

Arg1: 0000000000000007, BOOT Error 

 

You can double-check that here, under WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR Parameters, Parameter 1, 0x7 > A BOOT error occurred: 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/bug-check-0x124---whea-uncorrectable-error 

 

Based on this website as well, this bug check is typically related to physical hardware failures. It can be heat related, defective hardware, memory or even a processor that is beginning to fail or has failed. If over-clocking has been enabled, try disabling it. Confirm that any cooling systems such as fans are functional.  

 

In this case you tried testing the CPU and that is the reason why it seems unlikely to be a CPU problem, for testing, have you tried swapping the components? E.g. checking with other RAMs, compatible CPU, compatible motherboard, drive, etc.

Hello zecanelao, 

 

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.   

 

In order to better assist you, please provide the following: 

 

1. Run the Intel® System Support Utility (Intel® SSU) and attach the report generated:  

  • Open the application, check the "Everything" box, and click on "Scan" to see the system and device information. By default, Intel® SSU will take you to the "Summary View".   
  • Click on the menu where it says "Summary" to change to "Detailed View".   
  • To save your scan, click on "Next", then "Save".   
  • Use the option under the reply window to attach the report to the thread (Drag and drop here or browse files to attach).  

 

2. Run the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool and send the results either in a screenshot or .txt file. To save the report, once the test is done, click on "File >> View Results File", then attach the .txt file to your reply. 

3. Run the Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU) and send us a screenshot of the frequencies and temperatures while running this tool. 

4. Has this problem only ocurred while gaming those simulation games? Or have you seen it in any other moment?

Thank you for the reply. The requested files are attached to this reply.

The problem has only happened while I was playing those flight simulators.

Hello zecanelao,  

 

Thank you for the information, based on the reports, we can determine the following: 

 

  • The CPU seems to be working fine, the Processor Diagnostic Tool, Intel® XTU, and Prime95 were testing the CPU to its limits with no problems. 
  • These type of games can stress other components, like the graphics card, the RAM, and the SSD. So you can try testing all the other components also because at this point, this seems unlikely to be a CPU issue. 
  • At the software level, make sure that you have the latest Operating System (OS) version, following Microsoft's guidance, and make sure that the latest updates are installed for your graphics card also (check with AMD).
  • Also, try working with the game developers to make sure you have the latest patch and no mods are installed. Additionally, check if this has been reported to them for a possible work around.

But what about the mini dump file I posted above? Isn't it telling the problem is with the CPU?

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error
source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the
WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error conditon. Try !errrec Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure to get more details.

Well, if it's not the CPU, it can only be the GPU. AMD has just released a driver which says about a black screen fix. I'll test it and see if the isuue still remains. I have an old Nvidia GPU here, gonna test it if the problem still happens with this new driver. Thanks for the help.

Hello zecanelao,   

 

Thank you for the update. 

 

We will be looking forward to hearing back from you with the outcome of testing the new driver and the different graphics card also.

Hello zecanelao,  

 

Do you have an update on this by any chance? Were you able to test a different GPU and drivers? Please let me know if you need more assistance.

Sorry for the delay. I think we can rule out any problem with the CPU. I've noticed that the crash log is created when I try to restart the PC after the black screen, not when the crash happens. Even with this new driver AMD had released, I did have the same black screen, but after a new installation of Windows 10 and the driver, it's been four days since the last crash. I'm crossing my fingers that the issue has been fixed.

Anyway, thank you very much for your help. This topic can be closed or classified as "solved".
