    Suspect new HDD causing BSODs, please help?


    Hey all,
    I suspect that a new 2TB HDD (cheap Black Friday Seagate) has been causing me some BSODs over the past month. I have no idea why, and it's driving me nuts.
    The stop error code is 0x00000124.
    I'm running Win7 Pro x64.
    Dumps and reports are attached below.

    Thanks,
    -e

    Stop 0x124 is caused by a defective hardware device, read this more information for possible fixes

    Code:

Probably caused by : hardware

    Thanks for the link yowanvista.
    I'm pretty sure that cooling was not at the heart of the problem. I run my CPUs at 100% all the time, as I run a few different BOINC projects, but never get out of range - 43C idle, 53-54 on full load...but I've been doing that for a while. I had been pushing the RAM a bit - something I'd forgotten - so I throttled that back, and hope that'll be the end of it.
