In the first hour after the build (latest bios + all drivers upto date) i saw the first random reboot with the famous WHEA-Logger ID 18 error then worked well for a while.
a couple of days later again so started to do some research and got my RAM changed to (Latest setup) still same random reboots.
A few days later managed to get a hold of a GPU 6700xt and thought that the random reboot could be because of old power supply so i got a new PSU (Latest Setup)
Replaced the GPU and PSU after a couple of hours random restarts with the black screen and WHEA-Logger ID 18 still.
Speaking with the tech at the store he mentionned it could be a MotherBoard issue so bought a new mobo (latest setup) as they can't take any returns right now.
I replaced the mobo and thought it should be it but still same issue. So the only part that still could need replacement is the cpu. Bought a new 5600x as again they can't take any returns.
Changed the CPU(CPU #2) and now everything has been replaced so I thought everything should be working now but i was wrong.
So now after reading a few post here and there i did some more troubleshooting trying most of what I found online and in this forum and still some random restarts.
Steps that I did:
- Update Bios to latest stable version 7C56v15
- All drivers have been updated to latest
- re-installed a fresh copy of windows
- Disabled CBP and PBO default settings xmp on and off
- Every piece of equipment in the build has been replaced issue still present.
Any idea would be appreciated.
