Well if you have bsod's you have dump files. Please follow the normal BSOD posting instructions.

You are suffering a major hardware error of some sort. The lock up is apparently so complete I'm not even getting full details from the dumps.

Error logs are full of something called unityplayer and the local printer spool app.

With hard hardware failures like this dumps aren't that helpful.
It's probably time to start testing components though.
Memtest
chkdsk
that kind of thing.

Edit, if you've been using the unityplayer when these dumps are ocurring, I would suggest they have code issues... major ones.

If you are overclocking, BSOD 124 usually indicates the memory controller voltage is too high or too low.

Oh damn

looks like I might take it to my local computer shop (they are really good)Thank you for the help describes the severity of the situation. No, i have unity player installed on my pc but I never really use it that much i will uninstall it

EDIT: hmmm I did get a new printer while back but that was when I still had 9500GT if this what local printer app is saying should I uninstall all my printer drivers?

Sorry for the newb answer now i know what spool app is I actually have HAD trouble with printing right now. some sites are saying this could be a virus but i scanned spoolsv.exe with norton insight says thier are millions of users. And thier are now spoolsv.exe variants(ex. spoolsv0,spoolso) that could be viruses on my system.

Are you using norton locally? I didn't notice it but I don't have your dump handy anymore.
Anyhow, with certain system configurations norton has been known to cause blue screens. You could try disabling your norton (or whatever third party security you are using) before starting the game, and see if that helps the problem.

That would be about the only thing left outside of the aforementioned hardware problem I can come up with.

i really don't like disabling my anti-virus but I guess this is a exception thanks for the help!

Im not sure what you mean by locally (sorry windows noob just moved from linux tehe never had to deal with anivirus)
