BSOD at random times, mostly while gaming I get a BSOD Memory Dump randomly on my computer.
It happens mostly when I play online games, the only games I play where this has happened are:
-League of Legends
-Starcraft
-Diablo 3
It's happened a handful of times at random while just browsing the internet and not doing much anything else.
I've attached the BSOD Dump & System File Collection files to this post as well as the System Resource Monitor file.
I've checked and updated all of the drivers on all pieces of hardware. Here are my system specs: OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit CPU - AMD A6-3650 Llano Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-A55M-S2V FM1 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) Micro ATX AMD Memory - Patriot G series ‘Sector 5’ Edition 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DD Graphics Card - PowerColor AX6670 1GBK3-H Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PC Hard Disk Drive - HITACHI HDS721050CLA362 (0F10381) 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive Power Supply - RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready Case - Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Cooling - Case comes with Three Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x

You have a 0x124 hardware bugcheck. If the system is still under warranty, I would recommend sending it in to have diagnostic tests done and any bad hardware replaced.  Warning Before you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer. WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!
For your hardware stop 0x124 crash, read through Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try and use the following hardware checks to supplement that link. - If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
- Monitor temperatures during the following tests.
Use the following programs to monitor the temperatures. - Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).
For Part 3: If You Have Errors: If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:- Shut down and turn off your computer.
- Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
- Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
- Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.
Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.
Remember to read closely through Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try for the crash.
You also had a 0x101 crash: STOP 0x101: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT troubleshtg
Some of the above steps apply to that crash, as well. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion e9110t OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit CPU Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz Motherboard Pegatron IPIEL-LA3 Memory 6.00 GB Hundai HMT125U6BFR8C-H9 Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 4850 Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio/ATI High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays Acer AL2216W Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Keyboard HP Keyboard Mouse HP Mouse PSU Unknown/installed by HP Case HP generic case Cooling Intel Stock Cooling Hard Drives Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 ATA Device 500 GB Internet Speed Download: 19.15 Mbps Upload: 1.67 Mbps Other Info Network Adapter Realtek RTL8168D/8111D Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)

It may be nothing, or it could be everything. Your memory is not on the support list for this motherboard. This RAM is meant for 1.65 volts, your board is meant to run RAM at 1.5.

Wow, thank you for all of the information!
@ writhziden - Thank you, I read over the 0x124 crash information and am in the process of running the various tests outlined in your post. Will post back with the results of those tests tomorrow since these will take some time to compile.
@ James7679 - Thank you! I've attached the tabs as screenshots and saved the report as a txt file in the zip file attached to this reply.

BSOD during gaming are often, if not mostly, related to Timeout Detection and Recovery issues but as well they can happen while doin literally nothing.
Very annoying and a known issue since Win Vista yet Nvidia,Ati and Microsoft failed completely to adress this issue to solve it once and for all.
This article sheds some light on the thing. Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR)
In short version: Graphics driver has to sent a ping every X seconds to OS. If it fails for whatever reason the OS shuts down to prevent damage to OS cause it thinks a critical error occured.
Its like train drivers nowadays have to hit a button every 30 or 60 seconds to confirm they are not sleeping or dead otherwise the Train commences automatic emergency braking.
Increasing the TimeOut to 60 seconds or disabling the TDR check completely in the Registry helps a lot and sometimes even solves this issue completely. Its only a workaround though TDR Registry Keys | My System Specs | | OS Win7 Home Premium 32bit |

Tironus, thanks for uploading. Please continue with writhziden's suggestions. While testing the CPU with P95, please upload the CPUz 1st tab and also a shot of HWMonitor. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Made OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Intel 2500k @4.5ghz 66deg max P95/IBT Motherboard Gigabyte Z68A-D3-B3 Memory 8 Gigs Patriot Viper 2 Extreme @1600 Graphics Card EVGA GTX 580 3 GIG 35degrees idle Sound Card Nvidia HD audio via HDMI to 7.1 Receiver Monitor(s) Displays 32" Olevia hdtv Screen Resolution 1080p Keyboard Logitech wireless Combo, G13 Mouse G300 PSU Corsair vx550w Case Thermaltake V3 black Cooling CM 212+(push n pull) 4 case fans Hard Drives 64gig SSD(OS/Apps)

James7679, Here are the screens after running P95 small FFT stress test for an hour, it seems that the cpu avg temp leveled out at 43 degrees Celsius
I will run the other more RAM intensive P95 tests tomorrow.
I ran FurMark, and the AMD Radeon HD 6670 temp evened out around 43 degrees Celsius. Furmark would not stress test the AMD 6530D APU, this APU seemed stress tested when running P95 as the APU temp was the same as the CPU. Probably because its a built in GPU in the processor.
I'll be running Memtest86+ tonight and will post the results tomorrow.
Speccy is the only program running thats giving me any type of temperatures, FurMark crashes when I enable logging when running the GPU stress test.
Thank you all again for looking into this and all the suggestions I really appreciate it! | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit CPU AMD A6-3650 Llano Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-A55M-S2V FM1 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) Micro ATX AMD M Memory Patriot G series ‘Sector 5’ Edition 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DD Graphics Card PowerColor AX6670 1GBK3-H Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PC PSU RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready Case Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Cooling Case comes with Three Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Hard Drives HITACHI HDS721050CLA362 (0F10381) 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive |

Tironus, sorry for the delay. Just looked at your zip though. Were you able to get this resolved by following wriziden's steps?
One more to add in, uninstall Gigabyte EasyTune6, and stop "softclocking". If you are going to Overclock, you need to take the steps to learn how to use the BIOS to do so. Your system will remain unstable and you will likely damage components if you do not Overclock correctly. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Made OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Intel 2500k @4.5ghz 66deg max P95/IBT Motherboard Gigabyte Z68A-D3-B3 Memory 8 Gigs Patriot Viper 2 Extreme @1600 Graphics Card EVGA GTX 580 3 GIG 35degrees idle Sound Card Nvidia HD audio via HDMI to 7.1 Receiver Monitor(s) Displays 32" Olevia hdtv Screen Resolution 1080p Keyboard Logitech wireless Combo, G13 Mouse G300 PSU Corsair vx550w Case Thermaltake V3 black Cooling CM 212+(push n pull) 4 case fans Hard Drives 64gig SSD(OS/Apps)

I've come to an impasse with the Memtest86+ as I don't have a CD to burn the iso to and for some reason will not read my USB flash drive at boot to run the memtest program.
I've set the boot menu to read my USB but it still doesn't work and I followed the instructions to install it to my flash drive correctly.
I will uninstall the EasyTune6, as far as overclocking I will lookup how to do it properly, I havent configured anything that im aware of that would allow it to overclock.
