BSOD using Google Chrome HTML5 YouTube player bug check 0x00000124

Bsod

This was kinda scary given it was not a cheap build, but at the time I was busy and just worked around it by using Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer instead of Chrome.

Lately we are seeing a good lot of cases where Google Chrome is causing Stop 0x124 BSOD.

I would suggest you to uninstall it completely, because that is the only action that helped to stop BSODs in the similar cases. Yes, you are not alone facing this issue.

Nothing more can be said at this time because the zip you uploaded does not contain any crash dump.

Follow it: Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD
Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.

Now wait for another BSOD. When it occurred, search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. See if the crash dump is recorded or not (hopefully it will be recorded).Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

Dont run any disc cleanup tool before you upload another zip.

Checked your crash dump .... you need to uninstall Google Chrome and see how your computer works with any other browser.

Report us for any further BSOD after uninstalling Google Chrome.

As the same issue continues even with firefox, we cannot blame Chrome solely here.

By definition, a stop 0x124 is a hardware related BSOD, and with the first parameter of the bugcheck is zero, it may be anything and everything that is causing the BSOD. So let us have a thorough check.

► Make it sure that all the important windows updates are installed there.

► Are you overclocking? As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings. Also set the BIOS to default, too.
How To Clear CMOS (Reset BIOS)

► Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

1. Click on the Start button
2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
3. Select the “Startup” tab.
4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
5. Apply > OK
6. Accept then restart.

► Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.
eXtreme Power Supply Calculator - The only power supply calculator trusted by PSU manufacturers and computer enthusiasts
Also let us know the wattage of the installep PSU.


► Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: Speccy - Publish Snapshot of your System Specs .


► Test your RAM modules for possible errors.

How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+

Run memtest86+ for at least 8 consecutive passes.

If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

► Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

Take a screenshot of the furmark window before closing it. Upload the screenshot for us. Also let us know if you have experienced any crash/BSOD and/or artifacts during the test.

► Stress test the CPU.

Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

It saves the result as a .txt file in the prime95's folder. Upload the file for us.

► Scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs.

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
• Windows Defender Offline

Let us know the results.

For the temperature, memtest86+, Furmark etc, it will be best if you can document your results with screenshots, camera snaps, etc.
