Ok so, a few weeks ago we had some power outages, I flipped the switch on the power strip before it came back on the last time, powered flipped a couple times prior. A few days passed and I flipped the switch back on and realized I had forgot to the turn off the switch on the back of my PC.
Turn the PC on and all is fine, I have a keyboard ??? hooked up to it and I turned that on, immediate bsod. Realized that was the cause and unplugged the USB. No problems again until a couple days ago. Was playing Elden Ring the night before and turned it on again the next day and it won’t get past an immediate bsod with the WHEA_uncorrectable_error. After 3 it does the usual preparing PC repair or whatever but it usually crashes during the memory dump and won’t actually make it to anything meaningful.
I can go into bios fine and it runs but anything else and I get the same error. I’m aware this error indicates a hardware issue but having trouble figuring out what is actually the problem
Things I’ve tried that didn’t work in no order:
Ram out and back in
Ram individually (It only actually started with the one, doesn’t start with the other and hangs with the ram QLED lit, thought this might be the issue but…)
Ram different slots
Roommate’s ram (also checked my ram in his, and it worked fine)
Roommates power supply
Cpu reseat
Video card reseat (couldn’t get it fully out, damn clip is tough)
Removing added FireWire card
Removing nvme ssd
All other hdd/ssd are disconnected
Boot from USB (works on roommates PC, same error on mine)
Popped the cmos battery and reset bios
Fixed bios settings after that didn’t work
