    Random BSOD at idle bccode 124


    I have been Having this problem for a while. I have been chasing down ssd problems and memory problems and psu problems. Now that all those are fixed i am still having problems. Randomly at idle it will restart or shut down. I have included mini dumps. Have run mem test on replacement memory. Have run many stress test.

    All computer info is in sig. Have started to chase down the software side like getting rid of avast. I have noticed that after a crash when using my event viewer that i seem to have alot of amd northbridge errors. I have updated those drivers with no change.

    Any help i am very thankful for. I hope i have not missed any steps that might help solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Edit i have also removed my video card in hopes of eliminating other hardware issues.

    Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

    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.
    Note that this test may overheat the CPU, ensure proper cooling

    Are you overclocking?

    I am not overclocking, nor has this system been overclocked at any point. I ran Prime 95 first time bsod after seconds, second time ran 6 hours, third time instant bsod. Part of why it took so long to reply. I have turned off all but one core and it has no problems. turned on second core and still no problems, next i will turn on third and so on till i start getting bsod.

    Upload newer dumps if more crashes occur.
    Do a RAM Test again, ensure that all your BIOS options are set to default before starting the test. RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Same cause, your last dumps still mention a fatal hardware error.
    What were the results of the Memtest?
