BSOD Multiple causes, constant

And here's the first crash dump since the fresh install and new BIOS. As noted, it happened just when Java had begun installing.

Code:

BugCheck 124, {0, 86cba024, b2000000, 1040080f}

Probably caused by : GenuineIntel

Code:

===============================================================================
Section 2     : x86/x64 MCA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Descriptor    @ 86cba134
Section       @ 86cba38c
Offset        : 872
Length        : 264
Flags         : 0x00000000
Severity      : Fatal

Error         : BUSLG_SRC_ERR_*_NOTIMEOUT_ERR (Proc 1 Bank 0)
  Status      : 0xb20000001040080f

The operating system was notified of the the fatal hardware error by the CPU in the form of a Machine Check Exception, there is clearly a form of hardware which is failing.

Have you made sure that the fans are working properly in the case and the card? Have you cleaned inside the case at all?

Install GPU-Z to check the temperature of the graphics card, this will rule out any software corruption with Speccy.

Hardware failure is right! Despite my previous looks, I had missed the dead fan on the graphics card. The case had been thoroughly cleaned internally and I had felt the card but missed the fan. It is dead and no amount of DataVac Duster air would encourage it to start.

I loaded GPU-Z and its report matched that of Speccy. Both showed 81 degrees C (which I think is hot). At your recommendation I rechecked all fans and bingo. It is shot.

Not sure I can get it moving again. Will check power connectors. But it's probably time to upgrade the card.

I thank you and others who offered advice. I've learned a lot and now believe I have reached the source of all those BSODs.
