    Most Likely looks like you are having a hardware problem.

    Please try this:


    BugCheck 0x124

    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.

    • If you have an SSD, make sure the following are up to date:
      • SSD firmware
      • BIOS Version
      • Chipset Drivers
      • Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
      • If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, make sure the drivers are up to date from the Intel site or Marvell site and not from your motherboard/vendor support site.


    • Run all but the advanced tests with SeaTools for HDDs.
    • 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:
      1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
      2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
      3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
      4. 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.

    You should still be able to do the tests. So go ahead and do the test. Post up results of tests when done.

    Also try:

    Updating graphics drivers: Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

    Try updating your intel drivers: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx - make sure all are updated, and installed!

    hmnnn it might be an over heating issue, when i turn off my AC it shoots up to like 90 in my room mostly because of the comp and TV. I went and cleaned the fans and it has not given me an error. It's around 40s in speccy and the HDD are in the 30s, also the Seagate tool for windows is not giving me any error when i run the tests.... hoping that's the last of it.

    okay, so I put on Tropico 4, started playing a little and noticed my GPU and Motherboard rose up to 59ish degrees! One of my fans is probably not working. I can only imagine what a game like Crysis or Shogun 2 would do to it. Hoping that's the problem

    Did you install the new Nvidia and Intel drivers that HonorGamer suggested?
    If it's running ok in safe mode and crashing when running normally, that indicates a driver issue.
    This BSoD code can result from the CPU overheating.

    59°C is good for your GPU but hot for your motherboard.

    Open your case when the computer is on and check if the fans are running.
