BSOD Usually playing games, 0x00000124

Hi,

BSOD's seem to be becoming quite a regular occurance, first ones where usually when playing MMO's with TS/Mumble active but recently they have been happening whilst watching streams and at other random times.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Service Pack 1
Intel Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz
4.00 GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460

Not really that clued up on computers but I will try my best to answer an questions you need to know.

Thanks in advance

Your .dmp file shows a stop error of 0x124 which is a general hardware error .

A "stop 0x124" is fundamentally different to many other types of bluescreens because it stems from a hardware complaint.

Stop 0x124 minidumps contain very little practical information, and it is therefore necessary to approach the problem as a case of hardware in an unknown state of distress

Some generic advice.

If you are overclocking STOP. return to the default settings at least for now.
If you are running a RAID update its driver.
