BSOD after adding an external video card error 0x000000124

Start by updating your system specifications so we would have a better understanding
of the hardware involved.

• System Info - See Your System Specs

What I can pick from the .zip file you uploaded is as such:

Code:

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (116)
Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffffa800e2991c0, Optional pointer to internal TDR recovery context (TDR_RECOVERY_CONTEXT).
Arg2: fffff880051924a8, The pointer into responsible device driver module (e.g. owner tag).
Arg3: ffffffffc000009a, Optional error code (NTSTATUS) of the last failed operation.
Arg4: 0000000000000004, Optional internal context dependent data.

This bugcheck is usually associated with driver failure but can be attributed to hardware under the right circumstances.


DXDIAG reports HD graphics as your GPU, which is another reason to why I asked you
to fill-out your system specifications.

• Code:

  Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000

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: fffffa80070b5028, Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.
Arg3: 00000000b2000000, High order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
Arg4: 0000000081000402, Low order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.

Code:

===============================================================================

This Bugcheck is always hardware, this time is the CPU that raised the red flag
and initiated the crash procedure but that doesn't mean it is the one
that committed the fault.

These two Bugchecks could be related to one another and you're insufficient PSU as you
suggested to be the case on the 1st post.

Clear enough space in your system partition, your pagefile is shrinking as a result
of lack of space which will lead to problems in the longer term.

• Code:

  Drive    C:
  Description    Local Fixed Disk
  Compressed    No
  File System    NTFS
  Size    57.51 GB (61,750,636,544 bytes)
  Free Space    7.96 GB (8,548,605,952 bytes)

• Code:

  Installed Physical Memory (RAM)    8.00 GB
  Page File Space    4.14 GB

  • Ideally these values should be the same.

What external video card was added?

Usually I advise same min/max on virtual memory after defragging the hard drive first to keep the same space, NO resizing at all, and using contiguous sectors.

I can see you updated your system specs and that's good but left out an important component, your PSU.
What is the make and model of your power supply?

I say replace the PSU.

The PSU is unable to take the load as it is on the borderline of its total wattage output, I bet it's pretty old and has been in use for some time now and age is a critical aspect of an electric components.


Plus you said it yourself,

I don't know if I don't have enough juice or what, but after I add an external video card I get a BSOD.

This never happen before so I don't know what changed when I added an external video card that now it crashes when I would have one before it was fine.

What case is it?
