    BSOD when playing certain games


    Hey, guys. It's my first post here on this forum, so forgive me if I miss some things out.

    I bought my current PC in October 2011. For the most part it's a great system, but ever since I bought it I've been getting sporadic blue screens when playing certain games, particularly on demanding games like Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Metro 2033, and a few others. Some games run fine with no issues, but the three I've listed are the biggest culprits. I can play for indefinite periods when the screen will suddenly go black for several seconds and the system automatically reboots.

    I replaced my old 500W PSU earlier today after hoping that a new, more powerful unit would fix the issue. Alas, it didn't.

    My current system specs are:

    Windows 7 Premium 64-bit
    AMD Phenom II X4 955
    AMD Radeon HD 6750
    4 GB RAM
    ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 board
    Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2UK 750W

    I've included the two required zip files and the latest minidump file from a blue screen I had earlier today whilst playing Battlefield 3.

    Any help on identifying the problem would be much appreciated.

    You have a hardware error (0x124). Read the following thread and see if any of it's fixes work.
    Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

    Among the fixes in the above thread are a few stress tests. Before you do any of the other fixes mentioned in the thread, you should run these stress tests:

    Test your RAM using Memtest86+. Let it run until 6-8 passes have completed or errors have been found.

    Test your hardware using Prime95. Watch your machine's temps and stop the test if it starts to overheat. Let it run for up to 2 hours or until errors have been found.
