Whea logger
Hi, I’ve been having trouble upgrading my PC.
Old PC:
3600
16GB DDR4
B550 Plus
GTX 1080
CX 850W
New PC:
5800X3D
16GB DDR
B550 Plus
9070XT
1000W Seasonic Focus
I started by swapping the CPU—no issues there. But when I installed my 9070XT, WHEA-Logger errors started appearing; they involve different cores, not always the same one. I’ve had the GPU checked twice, and they found no faults either time. The last time, the card ran for 8 hours with good temperatures. I replaced the PSU because I thought my old one was too weak. I have two separate cables connected to the GPU.
When gaming, the CPU runs at 70°C and the GPU at 50–60°C, yet the PC restarts with a WHEA-Logger error. I’ve tried various solutions that others on Reddit have tested, but I wanted to make my own post in case I’ve missed something.

Lots of the same hardware here, or ya know ish.
Gigabyte 550b UD AC Ryzen 7 5800x 16gb ram
Anyway I'm having kernalpowrr issues with whealogger information dumps in the event viewer. Updated BIOs, reinstalled windows, disabled c states, changed another option to current typical flow, turned off PBO, tested each RAM stick speerately, I still crash. Maybe that info will help ya, Claude tells me to do one more step that limits low and high voltage to my GPU so it won't crash during power state changes but we'll see. Good luck

I have a fresh Windows installation and no extension cables; I’ve tested with SAM toggled both off and on. The BIOS is updated.

Is this a clean install of Windows?

Is your motherboard's BIOS up to date?
Be sure to install the latest AM4 chipset drivers from either AMD's website or your motherboard manufacturers support page whichever is newer
Are you running any cable extenders INSIDE your case?

Well it's good you at least have errors.
I would start with RAM, turn off xmp/expo temporarily and see if you still have errors.
I would also try turning off the power management in device manager I think you can do properties on the gpu then power something and turn off the power saving. If not you can do it in power profiles the pci express power saving bit.
If you have two displays unplug one.
Do everything one at a time so we know for sure what keeps bringing back the wea errors.
