BSOD while playing a game, error x124
Hello, I've been recently experiencing BSOD issues the past 5 days. 4 days prior to this post, the BSODs have been rampant and occured on a 10-30 minute frequency. I've took some action to remedy it yet it seems to reoccur on a hour-two hour (Or less, depends on what I'm doing) basis. I've applied the new thermal paste just last night (7/15). The BSODs are more noticeable when I play the following games; APB and Cube World. Although it has happened just not too long ago with Lost Saga. Could anyone please pinpoint what the exact issue may be? Or at least narrow down the possibilities? Thank you.
I also mean Stop Error 0x00000124, not just error x124.
What I have done:
-Applied new Thermal paste to the CPU
-Cleaned out inside the case for dust
-Updated and resetted BIOS back to "Optimized Default" settings. Removed and re-seated the CMOS battery to ensure the complete reset.
-Updated as many drivers as I could for the time being
-Used CrystalDiskInfo to determine Hard Drive status
-Used Windows Memory Diagnostic test
-Re seated Video Card, Heat Sink, Sound Card, power wires, etc.
-Completed a ChkDSK on 7/14, another on 7/20 with CHKDsk /r.
-Complete a full virus scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
-Mem86 test; Stick 1 passed on Slot 1~3. Stick 2 failed and received errors on Slot 1~2.
-Tested an alternative GPU for possible failing Video card.
-Prime95 test for 1 hour; No errors.
What I have not done:
-Perform a Hitachi Fitness Test on the Hard Drive.
-Reformatted (Last resort)
Please let me know if I'm missing any valuable information, I'd be more than willing to give out details.
