I did some upgrading to my motherboard and when I tried tweaking it, I got an error message. My specs (at least the ones that seem pertinent to this problem):
ASUS Z97-A motherboard
Crucial 8GB RAM
Intel Core i5
EVGA GeForce 970
I have two switches on my motherboard which, supposedly, optimize the CPU and power consumption:
EPU switch (optimizes power consumption)
TPU switch (optimizes CPU usage)
I switch those on and, after 5 or 10 minutes, I get this error message: WHEA_UNCORRECTIBLE_ERROR. The computer then restarts. The only thing I can think that is wrong is that I didn’t set the switches before installing Windows. Because it was done after the installation, the system didn’t have a chance to adjust certain settings to take advantage of the switch settings and can’t make the appropriate changes that easily. At this point, it’s not that big of a deal. The FPS on all my games is plenty smooth, even on ultra settings. Heck, I’m sure the switches will only make a marginal difference while I play (something only a hardcore individual would nitpick at). My question is what do I need to do to make the switches work.
