BSOD upon logging into Windows 7, Safe Mode works fine.

I got a BSOD, and now upon logging into Win 7 I get a BSOD each time unless I go into Safe Mode which is working fine, I uploaded the dump file that I got from the program from this site.

I did run Malwarebytes in QuickScan and no malware was found.

Should I scan for a virus?

My PC is...

Thanks for your reply.

This isn't a Windows issue. I ran Memtest with 6 passes and there were no errors. I also removed the video card and used the on-board video on the Mobo and tried to install Win 7 on another hard drive and it's doing the same BSOD.

This BSOD scenario happened before but installing Windows on another hard drive seemed to fix it for a couple of weeks and now it's back to where it was before.

Read again very carefully all this Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

""1) Ensure that none of the hardware components are overclocked. Hardware that is driven beyond its design specifications - by overclocking - can malfunction in unpredictable ways.

2) Ensure that the machine is adequately cooled. If there is any doubt, open up the side of the PC case (be mindful of any relevant warranty conditions!) and point a mains fan squarely at the motherboard. That will rule out most (lack of) cooling issues.""

Read the above and everything else in the tutorial.Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try



Run Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95



During the test\stress have always in mind the temperatures and stop the test if the machine starts to overheat.

I did the fan idea with prime 95 and I never over clock and I had the same BSOD...

Until I loaded the default settings in my bios and no more BSOD.

Why I don't have it, I have no idea. Any ideas?
