Punkbuster active 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.

Your CPU is to be blamed, stop any overclocking.

Information

Run Prime 95 to test your CPU. Carefully the instructions in this tutorial: CPU - Stress Test with Prime95. Run 3 separate tests, one on each of the settings (Blend, Small FFTs, Large FFTs). Post back with your results.

If any errors are reported during the test then you probably have a defective CPU

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.

hey guys,

ran all three stress test no issue. so that means its not my CPU correct?
also i have a p67 board running a SB 2600k. i just found out that SB are ment for 1.5v memory in dual channel. i am currently running corsair dominator 2gb x3 in tri at 1.65v. could this be the issue?

system:
Windows 7 ultimate x64
all hard ware is brand new

just got some new ram. thought it would get rid of this BSOD but it didnt. (corsair vengeance 8gb 1600 1.5v). i saw the bsod direction on the forum so i will properly give you guys the info again.

this bsod pops only when i play the pc game (battlefield bad company 2) no issues with other games. please help

thank you!
