    BSOD in various games, error 0x00000124


    My kids tend to play games (Lego Lord of the Rings, Lego Clone Wars, etc) whilst I'm at work and have experienced occasional but repeated BSODs. They always have cooling turned up when playing.

    The computer is overclocked but has been since new (with lots of testing via Prime95, FurMark, etc), without any problems when I'm using it. I'm down to figuring there's something my sons are doing or something about the games they're playing that are causing issues.

    Any assistance gratefully appreciated.

    I know you said you've already done some stress testing but I'd like you to do some more with some recommendations on the amount of time you're testing.


    Stress test your CPU with Prime95

    I recommend running Prime95 for around 2 hours

       Warning

    As with most stress tests your component's temperature will rapidly increase.
    It is advised that you download a temperature monitoring program like HWmonitor
    Keep an eye on your temperatures and stop the tests if it starts to overheat


    Stress test your graphics card with Furmark

    I recommend running it for around 30 minutes

       Warning

    Furmark will increase the temperature of your GPU rapidly so keep and eye on your temperatures


    Memtest86 will test your RAM

       Information

    Run Memtest86 for at least 8 passes so we get enough information to confirm that your RAM isn't failing


    Run a Disk Check to scan for errors

       Note

    Afterwards go into an Elevated Command Prompt (Run as administrator) and type in sfc /scannow
    If it finds errors reboot and run the scan two more times


    Run SeaTools to see if your HDD or SSD is failing

    Post back the results.
