WHEA-Logger 20 and Bugcheck 1001

Digging around, I found the MCAT tool to look more into my problem. Here's a screenshot of what i was able to get

When I game (WoW, BF BC2, CoD MW2, L4D2, etc), my computer crashes. It could take 10min into it, or an hour. It doesn't give a BSOD, which is weird (because I have the setting set to not restart on system failure), but it goes black, or a screen with white lines horizontally. I watch my temps, volts, and fan speeds and nothing is out of the ordinary. Everything is on auto/default, as in i'm NOT overclocking. Here are the links to the components:

I've got a fresh Win7 Professional 64bit on the SSD, with my WD being my data drive. I have the most recent BIOS for my mobo, all my chipset and graphic drivers are updated, and all windows updates.

Here are some examples of the event logs:
Error - WHEA-Logger - Event ID 20
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0xfffffa8004b57038, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\Minidump\032810-11949-01.dmp. Report Id: 032810-11949-01.

Error - BugCheck - Event ID 1001
A fatal hardware error has occurred.
Component: AMD Northbridge
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: HyperTransport Watchdog Timeout Error
Processor ID: 0
The details view of this entry contains further information.

Things I have done
-I have done a Memtest overnight, resulting no errors.
-I have used OCCT, normal length (1hour), on both medium and large passes (to test CPU and NB/RAM, respectively) and no errors.
-I've ruled out a virus by scanning with Symantec Endpoint and Malwarebytes, and not to mention it's a fresh install of Win7.
-I have the "32bit" option enabled in the BIOS for my HDDs
-I have tried increasing (and decreasing) my Core Volts starting from 1.3, and up to 1.4
-Followed this thread with no fix https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...ssistance.html

Things in question
-Voltage and Frequency settings for my CPU, NB, HT, and RAM (i'm convinced it's hardware related in the BIOS)
-Will this continue to hurt the components of my PC if I don't fix it?

I have all the minidumps from the crashes. I have uploaded the 2 most recent ones along with screenshots of assorted information.

I'll be glad to provide any more information.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

I hate to be a stickerly. We actually need the DMP file. Use these to find and upload them to us. https://www.sevenforums.com/crash-loc...d-problem.html

Thanks

Oops, I tried to earlier but a .dmp wasn't acceptable, and I didn't think about putting them into a zip

*bump*

What exactly does the Northbridge do? And how to I check it's temps? I assume if it were overheating, the symptoms would be similar. As would RAM overheating, right?

Could someone look at my minidumps for me please?

As a side note, i just cleaned out my case and it's now free of dust.

All of these were caused by hardware. use these to find out what that means and how to try and fix it. https://www.sevenforums.com/crash-loc...-what-try.html

let us know if you need help

Referring to the steps in the guide

1. No parts are overclocked. Everything is on safe-defaults in the bios.
2. If you look at my temps from the screenshots above, there doesnt seem to be a problem, correct? However, I opened the side of my computer and added a box fan to the side to see what happens and it did not crash for the hours that I played (usually crashes between 10-60min). So yes, i believe something is overheating, but this doesnt make much sense to me, as without the fan, the temps never reached a dangerous degree (55C max for CPU and CORE, 42C max for MB, 70C max for graphics card)
3. All Drivers and Firmware are up to date
4. BIOS is up to date
5. Win7 updated
6. Ran 2 memtests (memtest86 and windows built in test) over night for 8+ hours with no errors. I ran OCCT Linpack and the basic CPU stress tests for 1+ hours with no errors. I ran Furmark and OCCT video card stress test for +1 with no crashes. However, when I ran both OCCT basic CPU test and Furmark at the same time, it crashed with the same error as when gaming.
7. This is a fresh install of Win7 with new parts.
8. New parts, cleaned case when i installed the parts
9. I do not have a spare cpu/video card to test other parts.

Yes, I believe it's a hardware/overheating issue. But what component is overheating? If the temps that have sensors (cpu, mb, video card) are not reaching dangerous levels, what else could it be? And if it IS the cpu, mb, or video card overheating at the stated temps, then could the component be bad if it cannot withstand normal operating temps?

Referring to the NB error, could this be caused by either the CPU, RAM, or video card since the NB controls the 3?
