BSOD randomly after OCing, error 0x00000124
I've finally got around to overclocking my i5 2500k automatically within the BIOS, but ever since, it's been giving me BSODs at random intervals. There is no set trigger for it that I can tell (it's happened during gaming and during random internet browsing). As of right now, I've set everything back to stock levels. I have an ASUS MIVE-Z, and I was using the auto-OC settings within the BIOS (CPU to 4.6GHz, and RAM set on XMP profile where it runs at 2133MHz).
Just to note, I had put my RAM at those levels with NO problems before, so I suspect it has something to do with the CPU. I've also had NO problems with my CPU at it's current level (3.7GHz) EVER, so that just helps solidify that the issue is caused by the bump from 3.7 to 4.6.
I did a little looking around on the web, and I saw a few posts that seem to say it might be a CPU voltage related issue. Also, this isn't the first BSOD I've had, and I compared the output of all the dumps I had via BlueScreenView. All of the related files for each crashdump are identical, so it's definitely the same problem over and over.
This system is about 4-5~ months old, and the OS installation is not even a day old, I had just done a full reloading of the OS last night.
Just a note, the attached tests/reads were with my CPU/RAM at stock/auto levels, NOT the overclocked levels at which my system was BSODing.
