First of all I'm not an overclocker and don't intend on overclocking anything ever at all. My PC just started having sudden reboots (with WHEA error 18) when doing very light-load stuff like opening folders or installing programs for a few months now.
Recently after some power outages the crashes got super frequent, so I spent the entire weekend trying to figure out what was going on, and was 99% sure something in my PC was dead or dying. However I decided to check the BIOS settings since I had updated it recently when I bought a new ram kit.
And then I noticed the VDDCR CPU Voltage was constantly oscilating between 1.39 and 1.4 volts in DEFAULT BIOS SETTINGS AFTER CMOS RESET.
Reading a bit about the CPU online, apparently that is way too high of a value, unless I'm wrong, again I'm not an overclocker so no idea, that's why I'm asking here… Any help will be very much appreciated, I have NO IDEA how to fix this…
