BSOD 0x124 only when gaming. Help appreciated!
Hey guys.
First of all I apologize for posting a 0x124 BSOD-related thread (at least I think it is!). From what I gather these errors are super generic/common and don't really contain much specific information to work from - however I'm PRAYING that my lack of knowledge has led me to see right past the giant elephant in the room, and that somebody here will supply me with a single download link that'll fix all my problems. Well.. one can hope.
So, I bought my computer custom built about 2 years ago and I've had BSOD problems on and off when gaming ever since. I'm not much of a tech-head when things get as involved as this, but I've done a little digging during this time and there were obviously a lot of possible reasons for the crashes, but since it wasn't a constant thing I put up with it. It's not since I've decided to sell the system that I've started looking into the issue properly.
The processor IS overclocked (at 3.6GHz currently) but since the blue screen's have only been limited to games I assumed it was a smaller hardware-related problem. System performance has been fine otherwise.
Anyway, here are my specs. I've also attached my BSOD dump, perfmon report & system file collection for you guys to take a look at. My BSOD dump dates back to 2011, I'm guessing some got lost along the way with disk clean-ups/reformatting. It's also worth noting that I've tried to at least narrow down the possibilities by keeping drivers updated, playing at low settings, reformatting and running Windows Memory Diagnostic tests (no problems here), but to no avail. Any help is really appreciated.

Again, I'm sorry if I haven't looked into the issue further myself. Truth is I'm not quite sure where to start, and if somebody with a trained eye can look over the attached files, maybe I'll get some direction
Please let me know if there's any other information you need. Thanks again!
