Windows 10 Whea Internal Parity Error on 10850K stock.

[sew333]

Hi my pc:
108500K stock 4800mhz
2x16 GB DDR4 GSKILL 3000mhz XMP
Seasonic Tx-850 Ultra Titanium
Gigabyte Rtx 3090 Gaming OC
Aorus Z490 Pro Gaming
1 TB SSD



My pc i have 6 months,never had any WHEAS. I tested Control, Quake 2 rtx, Metro Exodus,3dmark port royal,battlefield 5,Serious Sam 4 and other games. No Wheas during 6 months,no bsods,no crashes.

My system is updated to newest Win 10 H20.

Today i run again Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition for 6 hours. After exiting game i check event logs and saw 1 WHEA Internal Parity Error.

The exact WHEA 19 was like this:

error source: unknown error source error type: internal parity error processor ir: 3





And my question is why one single WHEA appeared after 6 months on stock cpu?!

I have only XMP on. But memtest no errors. Rma cpu then?

MciStat0x9000004000010005

It just popped after 7 hours in Metro Exodus.
I run Metro Exodus again for 10 hours no whea. Then again for 15 hours and no whea. So no worries about that once fluke?

The WHEA (Windows Hardware Error Architecture) error you encountered, particularly an internal parity error, can be concerning but may not always indicate a severe issue. Here are some insights to help you understand this occurrence:

Potential Explanations:​

1. Statistical Anomaly:
   • Single occurrences of WHEA errors, especially if they don't recur, might be due to statistical anomalies or minor fluctuations that don't indicate a major hardware problem.
   []Environmental Factors:
   • External factors like power fluctuations, temperature variations, or software glitches could occasionally trigger these errors.
   []CPU Health:
   • CPUs can sometimes have inherent imperfections. While rare, WHEA errors could sometimes stem from minor imperfections in the CPU, which under normal operation may not be noticeable.

     Recommendations:​

   []Monitoring:
   • Keep an eye on your system for any pattern of recurring errors or if this specific error repeats itself. One-off instances may not warrant immediate concern.
   []System Stability:
   • Since you ran Metro Exodus without issues on subsequent occasions, it's a positive sign. However, be vigilant for any consistent problems or for the error to reoccur.
   []Hardware Checks:
   • Perform additional stress tests or benchmarks to assess system stability. Tools like Prime95 or AIDA64 can help stress-test your system to check for consistent performance.
   []RMA Consideration:
   • If you experience further WHEA errors or notice a decline in system stability, especially during regular usage, it might be worth considering an RMA for your CPU, particularly if the issue becomes pervasive.
2. Contact Support:
   • If you have the option to contact technical support or the CPU manufacturer, they might provide additional guidance or insights specific to your hardware. Given that the error occurred after extensive gameplay but hasn't reappeared, continuing to monitor your system for any recurrence and ensuring regular backups are prudent steps. If the error remains isolated, it might just be an infrequent anomaly rather than a sign of underlying issues.
