Windows logged corrected hardware errors

You can fix this

Windows has logged hardware errors that the hardware detected and corrected.

Why this happens

A corrected error did not crash anything, but it means a component had to recover from a fault. A handful after a BIOS or driver change can be noise. A steady number usually comes with an overclock, an undervolt or a memory profile beyond what the system can hold, and sometimes with a part that is starting to fail.

What to do

  1. Return any overclock, undervolt or memory profile to default, then watch whether new errors appear.
  2. Update the BIOS and chipset driver from your board or PC maker.
  3. Run the Hardware errors (WHEA) scan again after a few days of normal use.
