    Blue Screen of Death (Occurs very densely) - Need Help


    As first, I'm new here so let me say Hello everyone!

    - My problem is that I'm getting BSOD very densely (every day at least once, if not then twice or so on... max times / day was 3 i think).

    - The problem just came... Everything was running fine before and I was using my PC just fine. The system was installed about 4 months ago, and now it started to bsod.
    I have reinstalled the OS, but it didn't solved the problem, still getting bsod.

    - The first bsod came when I tried to start Skype (version 4.2.0.169). As soon as it finished the loading, got bsod and I wasn't able to start Skype anymore after than bsod, so i decided to download an older Skype version. That one worked fine and stuff, but then later started to get random bsods just when the PC thought it's time to do one Then after a few days (one day when I somehow didn't get any bsods) decided to try to put back the newest skype (4.2.0.169) and it worked fine.
    Now the random bsods are still occuring ~every day.
    Also if I leave my pc turned on while i'm sleeping or while i'm away, it never crashed... so crashes only when I'm doing something.

    The fact is that I've used the same copy of OS before everything worked like a charm, and used the same softwares.

    - I have the latest video driver from nVidia
    (258.96_desktop_win7_winvista_32bit_english_whql.exe)

    - And latest sound card driver from Realtek
    (Vista_Win7_R251.exe)

    What I have done so far (and still didn't solved it):

    [August 11, 2010]

    - Made a benchmark of my Graphic Card, made it to 85C and everything was OK, no bsod, no restart (btw tried with windows default video driver and with latest installed nvidia driver).
    - Tried to don't use Skype, but didn't helped. (Still random crash)
    - Checked hardware temperatures, they are the following: Look (Picture)
    - Installed latest Chipset Driver (Didn't had before any, and my pc was fine)
    - Installed latest LAN Driver (I remember when I was using Vista I was getting random bsods as well, and installing the lan driver solved my problem but this time it didn't.. And I also remember when I was happy that everything is fine - i didn't had to install lan driver on win7 and no bsods )

    Basic Info:

    - Operation System: Windows 7 x86 OEM Build 7600
    - Original OS: Not.
    - Used Windows Update: Not.
    - Age of my PC: ~2 years.
    - Age of OS Installation: Not more than 2 weeks.
    - CPU: Intel (R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500@ 2.20GHz
    - Mainboard: MSI MS-7365
    - LAN: Realtek RTL8168B/8111B Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC
    - RAM: Transcend 2GB 333Mhz
    - Graphic Card: Gainward nVidia GeForce 8500GT 256MB

    BSOD comes totaly randomly...I noticed it happend sometimes with playing games (World of Warcraft) and sometimes with starting skype like I said, and now since I don't play that much, it just happens when I'm browsing on internet, watching youtube videos, or just playing music in Winamp... It happens if i don't run skype as well..

    The graphic card was at my friend yesterday, and it worked fine (no bsod), although he's using Win XP SP3, but the gpu temperature was around same as in my pc.

    Bsod happens the following way: The whole pc freezes, sound is looping, then 1 or 2 seconds and bsod comes.

    I have attached the files needed.

    Now run a windows update and tonight i'm going to run a memtest86, then as soon as I wake up I'll let you know about the results.

    BIG Thanks in advance for any kind of help!

    Regards,
    Wex.

    Heres the story. I checked 1/2 of your minidump reports. They all show code 124, hardware, but the most difficult to diagnose.

    Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

    EDIT: Didn't see you there Rich!

    Hi,

    This is almost definitely a hardware problem - 0x124 bugchecks all the way.

    That memtest is a good idea.

    Also, as you are aware - your graphics card is running far too hot. Hopefully that is not the cause, but I would get it cooled ASAP anyway.

    Yep, I'll definitely get a cooler very soon. It has passive cooling, that's why it's hot as hell.
    Now going to memtest and sleep ;p

    I'm also thinking about updating my bios (as suggested it the 0x124 thread), but I really don't think it's the problem since I had the same bios before everything was alright.

    btw thanks for fast replies!
    Coming back with memtest result for a few hours.

    Follow the post on BC 124, that I gave you.

    Read post by Reventon

    If you are going to update the BIOS, be sure you are proficient in that area.

    If you overclocked anything, go to BIOS and reset everything to optimal default setting

    No I didn't overlocked anything, all is working as I have bought my pc.
    Except one thing, my cpu is 2.20Ghz and it works on 2.20Ghz... Should I put it to 2.00Ghz or something?

    No Bsods yet today, but when I say that, later I'm always getting xD
