    BSODs from hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe shows up during gameplay


    I recently built a new computer, about 4 days ago. Since then, while i was playing games (minecraft/DayZ) the computer crashed (once for each game). I used bluescreen view to see what was causing the problem and it was the same both times, hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe. I looked around on the internet to find a solution and used memtest to test the memory and software from my hard drive manufacturer's site to test the hard drive, both came back with no issues. Afterward I intended on using the system repair tool from my windows 7 disc, but it says "This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair". I then made a recovery disc and tried using it to no avail. What can I do now other than simply re-install Windows and hope that it doesn't happen again?

    update 1


    Well there haven't been any responses yet, but i ran a disk check and an sfc /scannow with no bad files found on either of them. I really have no idea what to do next to fix hal.dll or ntoskrnl.exe without using the repair tools which i can't use. Anything would be helpful, Thank you

    There could be a problem with your intel processor driver.
    Go to http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx and download the intel driver update utility.

    Also, how are your CPU temps in idle and full load?

    While gaming my cpu temps went up to about 45 C but mainly hovered around 40 C. My idle temps were about 33 C. I don't have any overclocking on the CPU, but are these temperatures alright? Anyways, after I did all of those tests, the bsods stopped, but i continue to test and I will update my intel drivers, Thanks!

    I did that but under Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility where my i5-4570k should be detected there is nothing, yet it still says this version is valid? Everything else is unknown to intel because i'm using nvidia stuff for the most part.

    Is there really no one that has any idea how to fix this issue? i've tried a lot but can't seem to fix it. When evga precision x is on to control my fan, it seems not to happen, but i don't like having an unstable computer and i feel like this is only a temporary fix. Is the only option at this point to reinstall windows 7?

    A "stop 0x124" is fundamentally different to many other types of bluescreens because it stems from a hardware complaint.

       Tip
    Stop 0x124 minidumps contain very little practical information, and it is therefore necessary to approach the problem as a case of hardware in an unknown state of distress.

    You can read more on this error and what to try here... Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try: Stop 124 Troubleshooting Strategy


    Overclocking
    If you are overclocking any hardware, STOP. Reset any changed values back to default.
    Code:
    Start Menu\Programs\ASUS\AI Suite III	Public:Start Menu\Programs\ASUS\AI Suite III	Public
       Warning
    This is overclocking software and can lead to system instability and BSOD's. Please reset all components to their stock speeds and then remove the software.

    Revo Uninstaller
    Download and install Revo Uninstaller free from here: Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall problems

    Opt for "Advanced Mode" and uninstall the software (also delete the leftover registry entries).

    Start up

    Keep less stuff at the start-up. Only anti-virus, this helps avoid driver conflicts and improves time to log in to windows.

    BSOD's persisted, but I attempted to update a driver for amda00 which was missing for some reason, additionally i bumped up the minimum power wattage for the processor (i5-4570k). It might have something to do with these new haswell processors, i'm not sure.
