My newly built gaming PC will occasionally BSOD, with the blue screens being prefaced by my cursor and audio stuttering and computer slowing down and sometimes briefly freezing. After this goes on for long enough, my computer will either BSOD with the WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR, or will freeze before the BSOD. Have already run driver verifier and updated drivers. I have also run memtest86+ for over 7 hours and reseated the GPU in a different slot. Most recently, the computer did a BSOD, and BSOD'd a second time not long after restarting the computer. Then, another crash occurred very soon after the restart, except this time, it wasn't a BSOD, just straight up a blue screen. Nothing on it, just blue. No issues have arose since. I'm thinking this could be a bad GPU that needs to be replace, but I have no idea.

I understand the issue you have, nothing to worry I am here to help, and just to confirm can you still use the affected device? if so, we need to analyze the error, can you please check if you have minidump files on the PC so that we can further examine what is the root cause of the issue?
Press Windows key + E (To open File Explorer)
Click "This PC" > then follow the file path:
C:\Windows\Minidump
Copy the Minidump files and save them to another location like Desktop or Documents.
Then please upload it to Cloud storage like OneDrive or any cloud storage you are using and please share the shareable link here.
To upload and share the link using One Drive:
Go to this link: https://onedrive.live.com/ then upload the file.
Then provide the shareable link by following the steps from this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/shar...
Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

Hi. there is nothing generating in C:/Windows/Minidump. Should I run driver verifier again in order to force it to generate? I have done it once before and it worked.
