BSOD x124 Mostly while watching videos on YouTube

noobystok · 01 Jan 2013

I have had my computer setup for a while. I upgraded the video card about 6 months ago with no issues. For the last two weeks though, I have been getting BSODs mostly while watching Youtube videos and also when my gf was playing Sims 3 which I have since uninstalled. I do occasionally get them with normal use not watching videos or playing games.

I ran Prime95, Memtest, Futuremark and I believe a couple other stress testers with no temp issues, errors or BSODs. I have attempted to update my bios as well as all other drivers. I have re-seated everything. I feel like it's most likely a CPU or GPU issue, maybe showing signs of aging for the CPU. Either way I'm stuck and need help. Let me know if you need any more information!

Thanks in advance!

So what does that mean? How do I diagnose the problem hardware without replacing it all? I can't rma a functional video adapter and I don't want to buy a new CPU to test since if it's on its last leg I don't what to grow through the l

Hello Welcome to SF

First off if your OCing in anyway stop, return everything to stock settings for the purposes of testing

If you havent already, fill in your system specs so we know what we are dealing with
System Info - See Your System Specs

Make sure you have read the guide on asking for help with BSOD so you know what we need
https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tructions.html

OK have had a look through your dumps (all 16 of them) and they are all identical
0x124 WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD Index which generally signifies a hardware problem, have a look at this
Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

Heres a sample dump they are all identical

When looking at your system info further you can see your bios is dated 02/04/10 so a bios update may be a good place to start as would be some hardware tests of your ram you could also before testing ram pull the sticks out and reinsert them to ensure they are seated properly RAM - Test with Memtest86+ as a last resort i may be temted to remove and reseat cpu but you would need to apply fresh thermal paste if you do that so i would leave that for the moment as a last resort

I feel i should add here that i am no expert on this i am just giving you my interpretation of the dump file please do not take what i write as fact.

Thinking on from this i think updating you mobo drivers may also be beneficial ie chipset etc
I think i should also explain i recommend RAM checks as your cpu interacts with the ram and a problem with this interaction could show as cpu fault ie memory controller
Your particular dump has me quite intrigued and i plan to look into this more when i have time hopefully later this evening (im on uk time) will post back anything else i can find
