Hello cwhite, Welcome to SF
Both of your dump files indicate an 0x124 error which is a hardware error heres some more info for you
BSOD Index
Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try
To be more specific your files state
BUSL0_SRC_ERR_M_NOTIMEOUT_ERR
this indicates the processor sent out a read request to L0 cache, and there was a delay in return
if your system is overclocked in anyway stop straight away if not check your cpu cooling as this may be caused by overheating, check your system/cpu temps and if they seem ok then try some stress testing of the cpu but be careful to monitor cpu temps at all times while stressing
Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95
Hope this helps post back with your results or any questions
Things I have since tried
1. Tried to blow out as much dust as I could.
2. Prime5 for two hours and passed
3. Windows Memory test and passed
4. ran sfc/verifyonly and found no errors.
With core temp I had two screenshots where one core seems to run 5-10 degrees hotter.
The left screenshot when using prime5.
After all this I still can't play any games without locking up.
That is an insufficient test - you need to tun MemTest86+ for a minimum of 8 passes to comprehensively test your RAM. Use this guide:
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Please re-run a CPU test using this - it takes about 20 minutes- and report back:
CPU - Stress Test Using IntelBurnTest
Regards,
Golden
Things I did since last post.
1. Ran Memtest with 5 passes and no errors
2. Ran Iburn with standard, high, and Very high tests and they all seem fine
3. Ran FurMark for 10 minutes and leveled out to 82c and no anomalies
4. Ran chkdsk
At this point the only other thing I can think of is a reformat.
Latest BSOD and screen shots from the Iburn tests.
Last dump same as the others, still blames a hardware error relating to cpu

How many HDDs do you have? Can you change the Sata port 2 ..... unplug the cable from sata port 2 and plug it in another unused port in the motherboard?
After doing these two, if you see that the problem continues, follow the guide: Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try. It will help you to find out the failing hardware.
