I am not at home, with the ability to read your entire mini dmp. This is the information that you will be given regarding BC 124

Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

124 is a vague BC and can have many causes. Read the link that I left and you should be able to solve the problem.

Start with Ram, go down to one stick and test. If you still get BSoD swap ram stick and test again. As Rich said 0124's are general hardware faults, they can be tiresome to figure out but not impossible. Depending on the age of your laptop it could be covered under warranty, see if your warranty is still active and then contact the OEM/retailer about servicing the laptop.

Go into your BIOS setup ( press DEL or F2 key during boot ) and reset all values to default....

Have you done memtestx86 for at least 7 passes? 7 passes should take at least 9 hours
Please run these free stress tests. CPU & Video stress test
Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS

Quote:

Prime95 Setup:
- extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
- double click on the executable file
- select "Just stress testing"
- select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead.
- "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.

Try this free video stress test: FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net

Quote:

FurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"
Click "Go" to start the test
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
- Click "Quit" to exit

Based on what you describe, it's likely that this is heat issue, use speedfan to keep track of your computer temperature: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

your .dmp files won't run in my windows debugger (latest version) ?

Is your install an upgrade from Vista ?

something I did notice in bluescreen view are these old drivers

sncduvc.SYS is for a USB Video Device by Sonix Technology Co Ltd but is not designed for use on anything beyond XP and really needs to be removed or disabled ?

these drivers could also be causing your system instability or crashes

hamachi.sys is an old driver for Logmein and is likely not compatible ?

most importantly this driver

is a driver used by Daemon Tools/ Alcohol 120 driver and known to be a card-carrying member of the BSOD club *warning!

do you have Daemon tools installed ?

let us know how it goes
