BSOD (BC Code 124) (Very detailed)

Hello there,

I did the tests with Prime95 on Safe Mode. I guess it was just luck, the system crashed as usual. After that I started the sytem on Safe Mode again, but this time, I did not run Prime95, just let the system on idle, and it did not crash for more than 14 hours. If this follows, looks like Prime95 made the system crash. I will try the very same thing today, let Prime95 run on Safe Mode and see if crashs and then let it run with no Prime95.

I will post new results tomorrow.

I am working on getting another processor for testing, hope to get it soon.

Thank you guys,

Regards,

Hello there,

I did the samething as yesterday, started the system in Safe Mode and started Prime95, it crashed. Started the system in Safe Mode and just let on idle, it did not crash. I think this narrows even more the most plausible hypothesis that the processor is damaged. As soon as I get another processor I will update with what happened.

Thank you!

Hello there,

Sorry for not posting in quite a long time, I did not forget about the thread, it was just that I haven't had any news regarding the problem since I couldn't find enough replacement parts to do all testing.

Well, talking the problem with a friend, he asked me about the problem being hard disk. I said i tried two hard disks and the problem still happened. He asked then how could i be sure both hard disks weren't having the same issue. I said it was unlikely, but I would follow his lead and try a third hard disk.

Bingo! It was, indeed, that both hard disks have the same issue. This is probably because the both HDs were exactly the same model, and the same problem happened to both.

But, this did not solve the BSOD problem completely. At the very last times using the system in the faulty HD, I had about 1 BSOD every hour. Now it's like 1 BSOD every 100 hours (It was three BSODs in like 10 days of intense usage). But BSODs at this rate wouldn't compromise my usage, and I will be upgrading the system when Intel solves p67 issue, and hopes that solves these remaining BSODs.

I'd like to thank you very much for all the feedback you gave me. It was much appreciated. If I have any news regarding these new non frequent BSODs, I will keep you updated.

Thanks a lot again you guys!
