BSOD Playing Company of Heroes Strangest thing. I haven't had a BSOD in months since I updated my atapi.sys file, removed sptd.sys, and did a repair install. Today however I was playing Company of Heroes. A ways into it, the game froze completely and my speakers made an annoying noise it kept repeating. I thought the game had just crashed, but my screen went black and Windows rebooted, saying it had recovered from a BSOD.
Not sure what caused it and I have no mini-dump file because I used CCleaner because my Internet wasn't working because of caching problems.

It happened again. I was playing Company of Heroes again and it happened, but this time it was a different map, and my computer didn't reboot automatically, so I had to reset it. Also note ctrl+alt+del didn't work. It was completely frozen. Unfortunately since I had to reset it, it didn't create a dump file.
However, I started the same map again, with the same settings and players, and it happened again, this time my PC did auto-reboot.

Here is the dump file.
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.

I ran a Furmark stress test on my video cards since they're my newest parts, and it completed without overheating or crashing. Today I tested each stick of RAM since I've had some go bad before. All got no errors, but my 4th DIMM slot is only running at 200MHz instead of 666MHz. I'm getting help with that on another forum that I go to for hardware problems. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Professional x64 CPU AMD Phenom II X4 925 @ 3.5GHz Motherboard ASUS M4A79XTD EVO Memory 4x2GB G.SKILL @1333MHz Graphics Card 2x Sapphire HD 6950 Flex Edition Sound Card Onboard Monitor(s) Displays SAMSUNG SyncMaster 2343 Screen Resolution 2048x1152 @60Hz Keyboard Acer Mouse Cooler Master Storm Sentinel PSU 750W Corsair TX Case Cooler Master HAF X Cooling Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer 120mm Hard Drives 250GB Seagate Barracuda Internet Speed 20Mbps BSOD Playing Company of Heroes problems?
