Sudden BSOD, 0x00000124, ntoskrnl.exe+7cc40
Three months ago I had an issue with BSODs but they went away. I'm a gamer and had no BSODS while playing many games. Recently I've been playing the Hunter, Red Orchestra 2, F1 2011 and the Battlefield 3 beta. I played for many hours without any issues, then all of a sudden on the 2nd of this month had a BSOD while playing Battlefield 3. (Keep in mind, I had played around 25 hours of Battlefield 3 over the previous 2 days without a hitch, so it's not like I was casually playing games. And before that I played Red Orchestra 2 for many hours, no problems.) I played a few hours after my computer had restarted without issues. The next day on the 3rd I played in the morning and sure enough 20 minutes into playing I got another BSOD, then another later in the day playing the Hunter, a hunting game. Each of these three BSODS gave the same error message.

I have no idea what would have caused this. I haven't installed anything new recently, hardware or software wise, besides those games. I had installed new nvidia video drivers for my video card on the 26th, thinking it was that, I uninstalled them and installed the prior drivers that gave me no issues in the past. The last BSOD occurred while using the older drivers, so I don't think it's that. I've been stable for over 3 months without issues. I'm going to try downclocking my cpu/ram to see if that helps but I was stable before that.
Any idea what the cause is? I attached my 3 minidump files to this posting. Thanks for trying to help.
