Hello,
I usually take pride in googling and figuring out my own problems, but it seems like I ran out of theories of why my PC freezes when playing graphic intensive games. In the event logs I spotted a bug check that could assist me in figuring out why the PC crashes. Unfortunately, I do not have any experience in debugging windows dump files. I would greatly appreciate anyone who can assist me.
Got it again today. I tried using the tool Whocrashed and it gave the following results:
crash dump file: C:\Windows\memory.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: unknown_module_00000000`00000000.sys (Unloaded_Unknown_Module_00000000`00000000+0x0)
Bugcheck code: 0x124 (0x0, 0xFFFFFA8006AB8028, 0xFE000000, 0x800400)
Error: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR
Does unknown_module mean I do not have drivers installed for a specific computer component?
Can you fill in your system specs fully, it will help people help you get to the bottom of your problem. How to fill in your sytem specs.
One possible cause of a crash while playing graphic intensive games is the GPU overheating. Are you monitoring GPU temps? A program like HWinfo64 well allow you to have CPU/GPU and other sensor temps displayed in the tray. Are you overclocking the GPU?
+1 to this comment.
Also, did you check for the latest drivers, and did you double check to see if the game was compatible? Finally, have you tried compatibility mode? I had to do this with Diablo 3 & World of Warcraft amongst many other games for my Windows 7 Computer & Windows 8 Laptop.

I filled out my specs. I hope it helps. I updated all my drivers for GPU/Motherboard/Soundcard, etc.
I don't get a BSOD and this has been happening to me for quite sometime even before that update. I just been really busy with school and work. Had no free time to troubleshoot. Now that I have some spare time I am rather curious what could be the cause.
I have been monitoring my GPU using saphire trixx. I don't overclock anything. The GPU usually stays between 58-60 C. I may need to watch CPU temperature. The CPU came with liquid cooling not sure how efficient it is. I will do today/tomorrow once I am home.
I got my latest drivers for my motherboard/GPU/Soundcard. My PC meets the minimum standards for the game. I am running Windows 7, not sure what you mean about comparability mode. Can you provide a link? Its worth giving a shot.
