0x124 STOP Error - Possible nVidia?
Hi everyone,
Over the last few days, I have been getting blue screen stop errors, with the 0x124 error. Originally, I thought it was a software issue, so I reinstalled Windows 7 from scratch, but this obviously did not resolve the problem.
I had a look at some possible causes, and like usual, received a number of mixed results for the possible causes. I have tested each RAM module individually and each one checked out without errors; I have also stress tested the CPU and RAM, but everything was stable.
The reason why I point to my GTX295 is that I noticed that when the system would crash, when I would go to install Company of Heroes, the self-test on the installer would show up something like the pixel shader as 0. When I would reinstall the driver, it would show up as 3.0. Again, when the system failed, this same thing happened again. I also just ran the Windows Experience Index tool, and the first round, it gave me a blue screen when testing the Direct3D. The second round, it completed, but it has reported "Graphics" back with 1.0, and "Gaming Graphics" is 7.8 like usual. It should not be 1.0 as it used to always measure to 7.7. I have tried rolling back drivers and also using the latest version, but nothing changes. I have tried running FurMark, but the system does not crash at all - and the graphics seem to run perfect.
I really am out of ideas to what it could be. I have the dump files, which unfortunately I cannot read, so I was hoping that someone on here could give me some advice from them to what could be causing this failure.
I appreciate any help and thank you in advance,
Jase.
