BSOD Random Occurence 0x00000124

Sorry to chip in on the thread but;

Code:

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error
source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the
WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error conditon.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, Machine Check Exception
Arg2: fffffa80071e4028, Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.
Arg3: 00000000be200000, High order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
Arg4: 000000000005110a, Low order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.

If updating the BIOS doesn't seem to resolve the problem, then you may stress test the CPU, the address of WHEA structure pointed to a Level 2 processor cache, however, the error was sourced from the MCE, which means the CPU detected a hardware error and then reported it to the operating system which produced the WHEA bugcheck.

Test the CPU for confirmation:

• Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

Enable "Round off checking" before the test (see first post below tutorial).

Then follow these steps:

• Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

If all the hardware checks do not produce any errors, then it could be a bad motherboard.

I have ran Prime for ten tests without issue, what would the best length of time be to fully test my cpu?

I have also re added my overclock. As my system has crashed with the same error when overclocked and not. But I do require that speed boost because I render quite a bit of video. And seeing as the latest crash was when overclocked it seemed like a good idea to test with it enabled.

Post the last dump(s) so we can see if it's the same 0x124 error.

The latest error was what I posted in the start of this thread.

All my BSOD's of late have been from the same error.

The recommended amount/time should be in the tutorial, and I would start following the steps within troubleshooting guide for Stop 0x124's; one of the steps is to stop overclocking.

Oops I should have read it fully.

I will do as suggested and see what happens.

Thanks again for the help.

Your welcome, and if you need any guides or programs to test the hardware, then visit the tutorial section.

Well one last chip from me if it is of any consolation or help I flashed my Asus P8Z77-V with no problems at all and if I am not istaken - badly you can revert back I thougt I saw it soemwhere.

It wouldnt let me jump from the current bios to the latest, it seems Asus didnt make an all in one bios update.

So far no issues tonight, Im going to do all the updates tomorrow and test the system without the overclock.

So juat ho did yo try the BIOS update MrDom Mine I had to load onto a stick and then put that in a special USB port to update it.

I have two storage drives, so I put the bios roms on one of them and selected the one I wanted from there.
