It is related to hardware issues and can be generated during any activity on the PC. Also, you may be interested in our detailed article about WHEA Internal Error and some fixes to resolve it.

What is WHEA Logger?

The Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA) is a component in Windows PCs that raises an Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) event whenever a hardware error occurs. It records these hardware error events in the system event log whenever they occur. Furthermore, the WHEA Logger documents the descriptions of the numerous hardware error events raised by WHEA, making it easier for users to discern the error. Also, hardware error events can be obtained by querying the system event log or by receiving an event notification from an app. However, the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA) Logger records hardware-generated events captured by the Operating System. Then, it displays them in the Event Viewer by using Event IDs to identify them distinctively on your PC.

What are the causes of WHEA Logger event IDs?

Because WHEA error events are accompanied by different event IDs such as 1, 17, 18, 19, 47, etc., they can occur for various reasons. Some are:

Hardware failures – You can encounter WHEA errors due to hardware failures such as hard drive failures, memory failures, issues with the processor, and others. They prevent the system from communicating with its running hardware, resulting in errors. System Driver issues – When you have outdated or corrupted drivers running on your PC, it can also cause WHEA errors. These drivers are responsible for the hardware on your PC, so the system may malfunction when they aren’t intact or accessible. Power supply issues and Overheating – The system can malfunction when the power supply is unstable. It can impede the activities of the hardware, preventing it from accessing enough power to run. Also, overheating can cause the components of the PC to malfunction.

Other factors not listed above may be responsible for WHEA errors. Nevertheless, we will discuss some fixes to resolve them and get your system working correctly.
