Regular blue screen of death: WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR

[sanctimon]

This has been happening over the past month on a laptop that is less than three months old:

If I leave the laptop on for about 15 minutes or longer, rather than sleep or go offline in any way, it switches to a blue screen of death (see pictures). It does not collect information or restart. It just hangs there.

Any suggestions or is this hardware failure?

Bluescreen failures (i.e., BSODs) are notoriously difficult to diagnose and to fix -- far beyond what WE typically can do on THIS forum.

That said, hoever, you paid for free HP Tech Support as part of the warranty coverage, so you might as well make use of it.

While this PC is still under warranty, you should contact HP Customer Support directly to have them put you in touch with HP Technical Support to see what they can do about troubleshooting and repairing your machine remotely.

I did this recently and the HP Tech was able to remotely access my PC from the Internet to check out the problems.

If they are unable to fix your PC, then you need to explore what options you have to get it replaced under the warranty.

Thank you for your response.

I contacted the Service Desk with this and they were able to pinpoint that it was the Intel Graphics driver causing the crashes.

Once an updated driver was installed (not available via the update centre) the issue was resolved.
