If you are indeed code 124 you will be given this Thread
Your .dmp file shows a stop error of 0x124 which is a general hardware error .. A "stop 0x124" is fundamentally different to many other types of bluescreens because it stems from a hardware complaint. Stop 0x124 minidumps contain very little practical information, and it is therefore necessary to approach the problem as a case of hardware in an unknown state of distress. You can read more on this error and what to try here... Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

* Not a cooling issue. Verified w/Speedfan. Today issue occured less than 2 mins from cold boot. System was running @ 27C
* Ran Memory Check no issues found
* Problem does not occur in "safe mode"

Going to try BIOS update next.

Thank-you

Caused By Driver : ntoskrnl.exe

ok what is this and how to fix?

Thats a Microsoft Kernal Driver, not the cause
Per the 124 report. Hardware caused it to fail

You could try an SFC command, but it will not help
In an elevated cmd prompt type sfc /scannow

Just a drive by.....

One thing to add to Rich's excellent posts. There is a two year old driver that should be updated PxHlpa64.sys. This has a copywrite from Sonic Solutions, and seems to be part of movie maker,

When errors are found, run SFC up to 3 times. If there are still significant problems that cannot be repaired a repair install is suggested.
Repair Install

ok I'll try running sfc /sccannow 3x.

Question: Why does the problem does not occur in "Safe Mode" and the error code that you stated is Hardware related? Is the the same as a hardware driver issue?

Hardware related does include driver issues.

Carl is correct of course
You can try a clean boot, if it does not work, it is almost definately a driver
