I just installed Windows 7 and it just crashed like Windows XP and Ubuntu have been doing. The event log listed these two errors that seem to be related:


and a couple of spaces below that:



Below these errors, I have several hundred WHEA-Logger errors identical to this:



They all reference the same processor ID and come in sets of three, each set listed one minute apart. I am wondering if the cache errors (or their source) could be causing the HT sync flood errors.

Is this likely caused by a faulty CPU, or is there another piece of hardware that could also be causing these errors?

I have the same problem

Me as well. But I only get it when I unlock the fourth of a Phenom II X3 720 with the ACC option on the ASUS M4A785TD-V-EVO motherboard. So this lets me believe it has something to do with faulty hardware error indeed. The error also hints at the cache: as it is unlocked, this fourth core (or its L2 cache) may not be 100%.

However, the system is very stable with hours of stress testing.

So the point is how severe is this warning? Mind you it's just a warning, not an error. So maybe we should just leave it be, as stress testing reveals no errors anyway. It's just annoying that there is this WHEA-logger that posts a warning every minute.

Note I upgraded to the latest BIOS that came out today: version 0410, but I am still getting the WHEA-logger errors in the event log. Here's a picture:


(sorry this is a Dutch Windows version)

Any resolution to this? I am having the same issue

Same problem here, searching and searching, but can't find the answer, plz help

09/05/2009 | and this is not solved, really weird, somebody here should be able to give some kind of tip IMO

Did you unlock any core?

I would perhaps make&load a UBCD cd, then boot from it.

Run the Memtest86+ and the Mersenne Prime tests. This would move the OS
impact out of the picture. Then if any test crashes, start hunting down the
faulty/crash contributing component.
Naturally, if you unlock a core and it is not stable, that is it.

-------------------------

Im on a Phenom II x2 550, im only running 2 cores, i've ran a memtest on the memory and it passed and i've ran prime test aswell and the processor passed there to, but your right about the OS, but i've had the same problem in windows and ubuntu

Just an update: I RMA'd my CPU and replaced it with a new one from AMD and still have the same problem, so I do not believe the problem is a faulty CPU. Still not sure what it is, though.

It could possibly be a motherboard issue, try checking for a BIOS update that may address the issue.

-------------------------
AMD 940 PH2 BE @ 3.7 Ghz ArcticFreezer 64 pro
Asus M3A79-T Deluxe
Patriot 4GB pc8500 DDR2 1066@5-5-5-15
Antec Quattro 850 Watt PSU
Asus 5770 1GB DDR5 850/1200
Sound blaster Audigy. w/2.1 surround Logitech speakers
Antec 900 case w/4 120mm fans 1 200mm fan

I have already tried every new BIOS version that ASUS has released. The symptoms are slightly different (rebooting with an error message vs freezing up), but they all appear to have the same error.

Looks like a memory controller failure inside the CPU it's self to me.

Does not mean it is CPU thou, board can cause this to.

-------------------------
AMD phenom II 1090T @ 4.23 Ghz custom water cooled
Asrock 890 FX deluxe 3 mother board

i've sent back my Asus M4A785TD-V EVO motherboard to my dealer and they are testing it as we speak, i hope they get the same error as i, if they do the problem is solved, i thought that it might be the disk but if it was then we shouldnt have a amd northbridge error so, it is the MB or Processor thats causing this, i'll post when my dealer is done with the testing of the MB.

I am also having the same issue with my asus M4A87TD/USB3 board. I'm getting a new motherboard in the mail, but i wanted to check and see if you guys pin pointed the issue. it crashes my pc randomyl, once every 10-60 minutes.
