Crashing BlueScreen but with BCCode: 124

Snails · 18 Sep 2011

hi to all, i'm a new member in the forum, and the last few weeks i'm getting crazy with one problem in my PC ( i think is with my Graphics card), and i look for every place in internet to try solving the problem, but don't get any luck.
So i will try to describ my problem to you all to see if anyone can help me.

Ok, in the last moth of July when i was playing the game MOHA, after about 20min the game shut down with no error report, so i contact the store where i buy the computer. Then the aswer was i got a problem with my Hard Disk. So after that they give me a new one.

4 days after i get the PC, the problem persist and when i was playing the game F.E.A.R 3 the PC "crash" and stop working. Then i hit the reset button and when he restarts he give's me this error report:

(sorry, my OS is in Portuguese)

So, after that i contact again the store and after 4 days of waiting they told me it was a problem with my VGA card ( nVidia GeForce GTX 470 1280Mb).
Then they send it to repair and after almost 1 moth waiting they bring it back.
but now it get's worst, when i play any of this game's:

COD Modern Warfare 2
COD Black Ops
Moha
F.E.A.R 3 and even the Sims 3, after about 15min or 20min playing my PC crash and give me the same report.

I already format my Hard disk, install all factory software, made all the updates.... and i still get the same error.
I have install the latest nVidia drives and same error comming up.... then i try to install the nvidia drives recomended for the games (nvidia 266.58 driver, windows 7 64bit), puf.... same thing....
So can u help me because i'm very suspicious about the Tech employes where i buy the PC....

P.S.: thank's and sorry for the bad english... :)

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.

so, by what i read there are many things to do, i will try them. But i will start by the graphics card, because it can be a possibility from the wanrranty people don't have change nothing in the Graphics card or even be the same card. Thank's anyway, i will be in touch :):):)
