Hello guys,
I bought a PC in August and I've been catching BSODs randomly since then.
BSOD happens at random periods of time, no pattern to reproducve was found. Usually, PC crashes once a day every day.
The errors that appear during BSOD were mostly WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR.
BlueScreenView showed that drivers / apps causing the crash include ntoskrnl.exe and PSHED.dll.
I went with this problem to the service guys at the place where I bought the PC.
First time, they re-installed Windows and updated BIOS (currently, it's said to be the latest version).
Second time, they replaced RAM, but it didn't help.
Also, I ran Intel Diagnostic Tool tests yesterday - all passed.
here's the archive with some minidump files - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K-wBof4AWwz7lbZ1Bv_RGenCREl7KfWE/view?usp=sharing

Bugcheck Analysis *
WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error
source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the
WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error conditon.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, Machine Check Exception
Arg2: ffffa50be4d02028, Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.
Arg3: 00000000b2000000, High order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
Arg4: 0000000000030005, Low order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
Debugging Details:
Either you specified an unqualified symbol, or your debugger
doesn't have full symbol information. Unqualified symbol
resolution is turned off by default. Please either specify a
fully qualified symbol module!symbolname, or enable resolution
of unqualified symbols by typing ".symopt- 100". Note that
enabling unqualified symbol resolution with network symbol
server shares in the symbol path may cause the debugger to
appear to hang for long periods of time when an incorrect
symbol name is typed or the network symbol server is down.
For some commands to work properly, your symbol path
must point to .pdb files that have full type information.
Certain .pdb files (such as the public OS symbols) do not
contain the required information. Contact the group that
provided you with these symbols if you need this command to
work.

two questions I have:
there is this line - PROCESS_NAME: SearchApp.exe. Can it be that Cortana is messing with my system somehow?
this line - FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: 0x124_GenuineIntel_PROCESSOR__UNKNOWN. Does it mean my CPU is behind the crashes? Also, in BlueScreenView I saw the mention of mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll. Can it be related somehow?
Please help!
