Hi,
I just built a computer last month, and the blue screen is really annoying.
I updated the bios to 1004.
If I use default settings for bios, then looks like everything is OK. However if I turned XMP on, and keep other settings as default, then the blue screen will come up randomly, the error code is WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR.
I then start using Intel CPU diagnostic tools to find if there is anything wrong with the CPU, I realized that if I am using XMP. then it won't pass the floating point test. If I am using default, then everything is passed.
I don't really know what should I do now. I guess there is something wrong with the motherboard. Is there anyway that I can test it?
Thank you so much!

Hi, can you specify the memory kit used?
There is nothing wrong with the motherboard. The problem is memory instability when you enable XMP. All XMP is, is a table on SPD with information regarding the frequency and timings the kit was binned at by the memory vendor. There is no guarantee of stability without manual tuning.

I am using G.SKILL RGB DDR4 3200 CL4 4*8GB. But if there is nothing wrong with MB or CPU, why everytime I tried to use Intel CPU Diagnostic Tools, my PC will crash when it runs at Floating Point Test?

Do you use XMP setting only from BIOS or adjust any value for that Kit? I used 2 kits (DDR4 3200 16-18-18-38 GTZR 32GB 4x8GB) without any problem.
Only set XMP here.

Because you're overclocking the memory, and it's not stable. Sometimes it's needed to tune things manually. For example, your CPU might need more VCCSA than some other samples. Try around 1.05v-1.1v.
Once you understand the fundamentals of what XMP implies and what it doesn't, it will become easier for you to grasp where the problem lies.

Before going any further, can you please specify the part number of the kit used and that you're using a single memory kit?
