How to fix Whea Uncorrectable Error

A computer will perform best when it's clean. Dirt can clog the cooling fans, causing them to run slower, and increase the temperature of the hardware components. As part of a inbuilt safety protocol, a hardware component will shut down, or reduce it performance. This is just one example of what dirt can lead to. The first thing you should do, to fix Whea Uncorrectable Error is to perform simple housekeeping routines. Those routines include:

1. Remove and reinsert all the installed hardware (CPU, RAM, GPU (graphic card);
2. Clean the motherboard and all the hardware with a can of compressed air to ensure that you removed all the dirt on the hardware, in the sockets and connectors.
   
   

You can clean the computer once per month. Avoid using a vacuum cleaner directly on the motherboard, to prevent damaging it.

You need to keep the motherboard (and the CPU (processor)) as cooled down as possible, to prevent your computer from overheating. High temperatures can reduce your computer performance and may cause system errors, including the Whea Uncorrectable Error.

Check if the fans spin fast enough and if they make too much noise. If they make too much noise, or don't spin well, then they need to be replaced.

Drivers translate the instructions of the operating system, to the computer parts. It they are damaged, then the translation will not be adequate. Viruses, especially if they get their hands onto the drivers can lead to severe system errors. Use the installed anti-virus/malware program to run a full scan of your computer. Even after the virus has been removed, you will still need to ensure that no virus will enter again, or at least to minimize the risk of new viruses.

You can do the following:

• Don't open Junk emails and emails from unknown senders;
• Don't install programs from websites other than the manufacturer's;
• Update the antivirus regulary;
• Update your operating system to the latest version.

Keeping a lot of junk files on your computer may result in having many errors, including 'Whea Uncorrectable Error'. You can try to clean up temporary files and folders to prevent any possible conflicts.

1. Press 'Windows' and 'R' keys;
2. Type cleanmgr and hit Enter;
3. Choose the disk you need (usually it's disk C). The utility will start to calculate the amount of disk space you can recover after the cleanup;
4. In the cleanup dialogue box check all the files and folders you need to clean up;
5. Click OK;
6. Restart your computer to see whether or not it fixed the error or perform the action you had done before the error occurred to see if it helped or not.
   
   

File checker is a built-in system tool that can help you to correct many Windows errors, including 'Whea Uncorrectable Error'. The utility scans for corrupted files that may be the cause of the error and restores them so they can work properly again. To run File Checker, follow these steps:

1. Type cmd in start search box;
2. In the results, you will see Command Prompt. Right click on it and select Run as administrator;
3. In the command prompt type the following command:
   sfc /scannow
   

The disk check (chkdsk) is another Microsoft-made built-in utility that can help us fix the error. The tool scans the hard disk and tries to repair any broken sectors and files as long as you have specified parameters. 

1. Open the start menu and type cmd in start search box;
2. In the results, you will see a command prompt icon. Right click on it and select Run as administrator;
3. Type chkdsk in the command prompt window, leave an epmty space after it and then type 'C:' (the disk you need). 
4. Since disk check only identifies damaged sectors and files if any, you should specify parameters, so the utility can perform necessary repairs. Type /f/r/x into the prompt immediately after the drive letter (see step 3).
• letter 'f' = the utility fixes errors
• letter 'r' = identifies any bad sectors in the disk
• letter 'x' = dismounts the drive before the start of the scanning process. We need to dismounting the drive because it's impossible to run the utility if the disk is in use.
  
  
5. Press Enter. The scanning will start to run. Give it time to complete, then restart your computer to see whether or not it fixed the error or perform the action you had done before the error occurred to see if it helped or not.

Check if you have any available updates for your system, since pending updates may cause many errors, including Whea Uncorrectable Error. 

1. Click 'Start' button.
2. Type 'Update' in search box, then press 'Enter'.
3. Look for any uninstalled update(s) on the resultant dialogue box. Right-click on each and update the same.

Now see if Whea Uncorrectable Error is fixed.

You need to keep your drivers up-to-date since they are a very important part of your computer system. They provide communication between the system and all installed programs and applications. If you don't know how to update drivers, find solution here.

Restart your computer to see whether or not it fixed the error or perform the action you had done before the error occurred to see if it helped or not.

Sometimes installing new software can also be the cause of system errors. When you download and install third-party software, it may cause issues with system files, and this can lead to Whea Uncorrectable Error.

In that case, you need to uninstall any software you've recently installed.

Restart your computer to see whether or not it fixed the error or perform the action you had done before the error occurred to see if it helped or not.

You can use this solution in case you've recently upgraded your computer’s memory by adding a memory card (SSD/hard drive) or new RAM. It can be incompatible with your computer or can be the reason of any memory conflicts, so you have to check its status. To do that, follow these steps:

1. Go to 'Start Screen' or use the Search box.
2. Type 'mdsched.exe' and hit 'Enter'.
3. Choose to restart the computer and run the tool immediately.
4. You will need to replace a memory module if the tool finds any problem.
5. Replace a memory module, then try to do what you were doing before the error occured last time to see if the solution helped or not.

You can solve the Whea Uncorrectable Error by disabling the overlocking feature. To do this, you need to access your computer’s BIOS. 

1. Boot/restart your computer. Prepare to act quickly - you need to press a key before the system starts running.
2. At the first screen, find the message that indicates the key you need to press to enter the BIOS. It can be:
• a function key (F1, F2, F3..)
• the 'Esc' key
• the 'Delete' key
3. Go to 'Advanced' tab --> 'Performance'. Search for the Over-locking feature and disable it.
4. Press F10 to save the change in BIOS.
5. Restart your computer normally to find if the solution helped with the Whea Uncorrectable Error.

If nothing else helped with the Whea Uncorrectable Error, you will need to perform system restore. Performing system restore reverts your computer to a working state before there appeared factors that may be the reason of the error. System restore doesn't delete your personal files, but it's better to backup the documents before starting the process. When you're ready with the files, follow the steps:

1. Click 'Start' button.
2. Click 'Settings'.
3. Click 'Update and Security', then 'Recovery'.
4. Select 'System Restore'.
5. Select an earlier date when your computer worked without any issues.
6. The tool will start to run, then it will restart the computer.
7. Perform the action you had done before the error occurred to see if this procedure helped.

The only way that will surely resolve serious Windows errors, including the Whea Uncorrectable Error, is performing a clean installation of the operating system .

It means that your computer has a serious issue that can't be resolved by any other solutions. If you performed clean OS installation, but the error still occurs, this only means that your computer system including the motherboard and its components have serious issues that need technical expertise to be fixed.

If you are not sure how to reinstall your computer's operating system, check out the 'Don't know how to install an operating system' guide.

Sometimes installing new hardware can also be the cause of system errors. The new hardware's drivers may cause driver conflicts with system drivers, and that can lead to Whea Uncorrectable Error.

In that case, you need to uninstall any hardware you've recently installed.

You can also disconnect all hardware attached to your PC, then restart the computer. If the error continues to appear, you will need to install the device one at a time while restarting your computer every time to identify the hardware that causes the error.
