Dell XPS L501x, BSOD 0x00000124
Here is an image of the error.
I currently have no OS installed on the machine and I'm therefore unable to run the debuggers as described on this forum. The Blue Screen seen was first encountered when Windows was installed, I attempted to flatten the system (as I was unaware that it was hardware related) only to find the error recurred during the installation. When I try to recover directories such asfrom an Ubuntu Live CD, I get kernel panics after the system has been running for a variable amount of time. (By which I mean a random amount, sometimes it happen instantly and others it runs for 30+ minutes)Code:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Rollback
The system shipped with an Intel Core i3 370M processor which I've since upgraded to an Intel Core i5 540M. There's no issues with regards to compatibility with this upgrade, in fact it's been running fine for months. I did however apply very cheap thermal paste from eBay very thick and messy. I suspect the issues are a result of overheating since the system has been running quite hot prior to the errors, however I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks for any help in advance.
