For those of you with this issue on the Z590 FTW, please try this test BIOS:30

Lee, is it supposed to say version 0.00? I figured probably as a test bios, but thought I'd ask, lol. Installed last night (all went well). I'll check a few times this weekend. I really wish there was a way to have profiles carry over when you update a bios. Or export/import them or something.

After 3 months of downtime I'm finally back.
I was just about to try this test bios. Can't you save profiles to usb and then load from usb?

That would be awesome. I didn't think to check for that lol...oof.

When I was overclocking and testing I would occasionally get the more critical WHEA-Logger errors.
When I gave up the constant settings changing for overclocking those errors stopped.
Since then I only got the "corrected" WHEA-Logger warnings.
 
There were a few things that always gave me a "corrected" WHEA-Logger error seemingly related to using the 3080Ti FTW
1- Playing a game. Some games gave several during the gaming session.
2- Starting PrecisionX1 and making config changes (fan curves adjustments).
3- And accessing Google Maps in Firefox.
 
There were other times when I was not sure what I did.
 
Initial testing of this test bios has produced no WHEA-Loggers of any kind using the 3 methods mentioned.
Of course further testing is required but looks good so far.

More testing, this time changing overclocking settings. Even bad ones that I knew didn't work
Changing bios settings to things I had originally.
Could not get WHEA-Loggers to appear.
 
Only thing left is endurance testing but, for me, it looks like the errors are gone.
 
It is unsettling to see bios version 0.00

Oh man, really looking forward to a DARK BIOS update. Glad that the FTW is showing promise!

As a small update.  I don't have a test BIOS for the DARK, but I've been told that these changes will be added to the next official release.  No ETA, however.

Something interesting happened this morning. I started Eleet X1 (latest) to simply change the onboard argb color.
For some reason I hit the apply button even though I didn't have to.
 
The computer shutdown and restarted.
 
On every boot and restart after that I got the fatal WHEA-Logger error.
I tried switching cmos profiles. Even dug up some old archived profiles. Even restarted with optimized defaults. Nothing helped.
 
Finally, reapplied the v0.00 test bios and reloaded my profiles and I'm back to being WHEA-Logger free.
 
Eleet X1 is dangerous. I'm going to uninstall it since I don't normally use it.

I am constantly getting the Event 17, WHEA-Logger: 
A corrected hardware error has occurred.
Component: PCI Express Root Port
Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express)
 
On a recent RMA z590 FTW motherboard. 
Don't they test for this error before shipping out a replacement?
Is there a fix available?
 
This replacement feels like a downgrade :(

For those of us who have tried the test bios it seems to have corrected the problem.

Was this issue resolved for everyone via bios update? Currently having the same issue with my z690 dark and not sure if i should wait or RMA it.

Yes, user frankd3 in this thread reported that his whea errors were fixed by using the bios provided by EVGATech_LeeM.

True but that is for Z590 FTW.

Also, EVGATech_LeeM, will there be formal issue of the bios that includes the test bios changes for the Z590 FTW?
