BSOD (0x124) randomly, and while playing.
Hello, and thanks to anyone that's willing to read this and help me with some issues! I'd like to clarify that I know nothing about hardware. Thus, I beg for patience should I fail to understand some of your answers.
I've started to get BSOD's while gaming, many times a day, about two months ago. They used to happen every 2 hours or so. I upgraded the cooling system and the energy source, which ended up reducing the frequency of the BSOD, but didn't stop them at all. In fact, after this upgrade, they also started to happen randomly, even if the computer was idle. Of course, not as often as while I was playing.
After a week living with this constant party-crushing errors, I decided to make a clean Windows reinstall.
When it was done, I left some files copying from my external drive to the now clean one, and went to sleep. I woke up this morning, and realized the computer restarted itself, and had an "unexpected shutdown" warning message on the screen.
I've uploaded the ZIP that the DM Log Collector created. There's only one dump file right now, given the others were erased with the previous OS.
I'm not sure what to do, or what part of the hardware to blame. My eyes are set on the CPU, but I know so little about this things, that I need some help. Is there anything I can do to narrow down the culprit? Thanks to you in advance for any aid provided.
EDIT: Added information.
Usually, instead of a BlueScreen, the computer simply resets itself, but after doing so, displays a Windows "Unexpected Shutdown" warning message, a new BSOD dump file is created, and displays the error 0x124. After having 3 additional 0x124 errors, I can now provide more information. Also, I clarify that I'm not Overclocking, or ever did so.
