Windows 7: Strange blue screen bbcode 124

Hello,


I have a strange problem. 3 months ago I bought a new GPU and new CPU. Immediately PC started to give me blue screens with bbcode 124. First days screens were 5 a day, but after they appeared one in 10, 20 days. The recent 3 blue screens are 5 days after. In the beginning errors came when they wanted and in different cases, include when I was away from the PC and did nothing on it /I have never obtained blue screen while I do system or component test, playing games/. But recent 3 blue screens are while I was watching blueray rips. I uninstalled Windows 7 Codeck pack, because there was a conflict with VLC player, installed again VLC and there is no conflicts. One blue screen recently appeared while I was watching youtube.
I have wrote and read forums in my country. Tried everything that advised me – tested CPU, DRAM, HDD with Everest and other programs, reinstalled Windows, cleaned PC, plugged components off and after in and etc. There is no errors in tests, but blues screens appears. Only one thing I can’t do – to update my BIOS software. I could not find software for my BIOS. I suspect that my problem could come from the power supply, because GPU have to minimum 450W by default. But power supply calculators gives me I have enough power with my components. But I am not sure.
The idea to write here is to help me to find in dmp files where the problem comes from. I tried, but I see that it caused by hardware and vista driver. It is easier way to buy new mobo and other components, but I’d like to save money and resolve the problem. And if I have to buy something, to be sure what. I’d like to be sure too that my CPU or GPU are not defected.
I am attaching needed from the forum. And bellow I will place info from WinDbg.
If you need something else, please write me.

Thank you in advance!

Hi there,

Run Memtest86 overnight: RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Run the Blend, Small FFTs, and Large FFTs hard drive tests: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...t-prime95.html

Also, upload a full system report: http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tructions.html

Nothing strange about it.

There are several problems

1-sptd.sys A huge BSOD cause used in daemon tools and Alcohol
Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%. They use a driver, found in your dmp, sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs. Use this SPTD uninstaller when you're done: DuplexSecure - Downloads

You can use MagicDisc as an alternative.

Freeware MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM(MagicDisc) Overview

2-Old drivers from as far back as 2005. At least these need to be updated.


How To Find Drivers:- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

3-hardware. read here what it means and what to try after you fix the above which may just fix it.

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

Thanks

Thak you Ken,

I'll try find and install these drivers.
Do you think that the Deamon tool could be a problem. With old CPU and old GPU I was with this type of Deamon tool and this Windows, but there was no blue screen.
I have read Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try. I did all of the suggestions, without BIOS update - because I could not find the proper.

SPTD is one of the few drivers (maybe the only) that I have seen cause a 0x124 BSOD. Remove the Daemon Tools, and then remove SPTD with this tool: http://www.duplexsecure.com/download...t-v174-x64.exe

Thanks, I'll remove immediately.

I removed Deamon Tools and SPTD.
But please give some advise for the out of date drivers:

1. usbVM31b.sys - this is driver for my PC camera - it is not proper driver, but I'll try to find corect driver;
2. Rt64win7.sys - this is Realtek driver. It is no problem to update;
3. spldr.sys - this is Microsoft security driver and I don't know what to do;
4. amdxata.sys - this is AMD driver and I found different places for download, but not from the manifacturer and I'm not sure what to do;
5. nvstor.sys - this is NVIDIA SATA driver. My video drivers are up to date and I'm not sure what kind of driver it is and what to do with it.

The questions are about 3,4 and 5.

And tell me is it possible thess drivers to be a problem, after installing new GPU and CPU? Before I used the same operating system and softweare and there is no blue screens.

Any ideas about drivers?

Thank you!

spldr.sys - don't worry about, it's a Windows driver.
amdxata.sys- don't worry about it, it's not from Microsoft but it's a Windows driver nonetheless.
nvstor.sys- nVidia nForce driver. The nForce 4 chipset is no longer supported, so you'll not be able to find updates for it. Don't worry about it though.

OK, thanks. I will update other two drivers and will hope blue screen to dissapear.
