[7Ult x64 SP1] WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 0x124 {0, fffffa80`07a678f8, 0, 0}. FIX: I changed the CPU.

Yesterday, I started the system backup, but I took too much time so I had to abort...
I guess there is no "fast" option? Which backup is recommended? I ve never done this before myself. System image or back up? Internal or external drive?
 
Uh?
Usually, you ought to do system backups (full, or all the partitions except data partitions, if you already backup your important files) and save them in an external drive (to avoid it can become corrupt for malware or other things).

If you have got two HDD/SSD, one for the system and one for data, you can temporarily save your (partial) system image (i.e., without data partitions) in the HDD/SSD you use for DATA.
In this case, if you will have issues with the system, you'll only restore your system image, i.e. overwriting system partitions only.

Example:

Tutorial: Using Macrium Free to Backup or Image your drives
 
Meanwhile,

I did a back up (including system image) via control panel > "back up and restore" which took 3 hours...

I also wanted to create a 'system repair disk' but that seems to be a problem > APPCRASH. This same problem is explained in: Recdisc.exe crashing for making system repair disc - Windows 7 Help Forums
However, I don't have Box sync installed..

I also managed to find 3 spare CPU's. This CPU seems to be quite popular among tech.

I.e., haven't you got a CD or USB to boot your PC just in case?
Why didn't you try macrium?

I was allready trying in windows..
Yes I ve an USB, but because of the error it is not possible to proceed and select an usb drive.

And then (yesterday) the computer stopped working.. no boot, only black screen.
So I replaced the CPU with one of the spares today. The guy who sold them to me told me to reset the BIOS, which I did and all seems to work until now (fingers crossed!).
I guess it's no longer necessary to do the prompr command? Can we now conclude the CPU was the problem?
 
Ok, thanks. I ll evaluate half november. So hopefully this issue can be closed.
I also intend to check the cpu temperatures regulary. As you can see, the values are fast quit high (only surfing). Should I worry? I've 3 additional fans in my coolermaster (front, back and top):

The problem with the system repair disk mentioned above is however not solved. But mayby this does not belong here?

It seems the file I saw, i.e. MCUpdate.DLL, is a Windows Media Center (MC) file.


The new dump shows the same as the other ones.

Not to step on any toes, but no, it is not.

MCUpdate.dll is a library from VirusScan Enterprise.
Mcupdate_AuthenticAMD.dll and mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll are cpu microcode blobs

In true microsoft spirit, there are two entirely different mcupdate.exe's, one for WMC,and the other is the Microcode loader for the above mentioned dlls, but no mcupdate.dll native to windows.

Thanks!

You can see my 17th post, where I asked jonesbxl if he used mcafee in the past.
By the way, I searched it (again) and found:

    Name             : mcupdate.dll
    Size             : 0x4f000
As I (and we) can see a different date of mcupdate.dll, I made another search:
Read More:
You can see they've got, almost all, the same date.
Therefore, mcupdate.dll was also a microsoft dll available on "media center" machines.
Then, it was expanded to either Mcupdate_AuthenticAMD.dll or mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll, when it was necessary.
 
Hello everyone, even though I marked this as solved (no more BSOD's after I replaced the CPU), the PC still "freezes" from time to time, which is annoying. I ve no idea why, since there is no message. Is there a way to find the source(s)? The freezing always happen when surfing the internet.
 
Which browser are you using? Does the entire system remain unresponsive or your web browser?
 
  • In the command prompt (admin), type (copy/paste)
    Code: 
    cleanmgr /sageset:1
    A cleanmgr window will be presented, in which you can choose the items to be deleted.
    I'd select them all, but you can choose to avoid some options.
    To start the cleanup, you need to launch this other command:
    Code: 
    cleanmgr /sagerun:1
    And the cleanup will start: wait until it finishes.

@zbook is it necessary to run all those commands? If the logs state that Windows has made corrections to the filesystem, then chkdsk will probably not achieve much at all.

There were recurrent chkdsk problems.

The tests can be run overnight to rule in / rule out recurrent problems.

And the second drive can be tested.
