    Computer Freezes/Lockups With Restart BCC 0X124


    Hello everyone,

    This is my first post and I am totally at a loss in regards to what's wrong with my PC for the past month or so now I have been experiencing computer freezes/lockups which result in no BSOD but just restart and then a popup after it restarts notifying me that windows was not shut down properly. I have done alot of research online and have narrowed it down to hardware in my PC. I ran memtest86 three times so far this month for cycles of 6-8 hours each time with no errors. I also ran chkdsk which didn't show any sort of error either. I then noticed that monitoring programs (speedfan, CPU-Z, HWinfo, etc..) are giving back low readings for PC voltages such as the +12V reading as of 8.58V on all the programs (I know these programs are not to be trusted for accuracy). I have no way of checking the voltages in my BIOS either and I am currently waiting on a volt meter I purchased online to arrive so that I may manually test the PSU. I do have a feeling though, that it may be either the mother board or the CPU in my PC. I have tried to read the DMP files from the 2 latest crashes which are identical, but I am unable to find any concrete information within them. I will post them here in case there is something I have missed.

    PC Specs:
    HP Pavillion P6520f
    Motherboard: H-RS880-uATX
    Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz (added October 2012)
    RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4X4GB) Model F3-10666CL9Q-16GBRL (added March 2013)
    Video Card: ASUS ENGTX560 TI (added September 2011)
    PSU: COOLER MASTER GX Series RS750-ACAAD3-US 750W (added September 2011)
    HDD: 1TB Western Digital SATA @5200RPM

    If there's anything further that you need from me just ask and I'll see what I can provide. I hope someone can help me in revealing the culprit behind these ANNOYING lockup and restarts!

    hi kevin

    For some odd reason ... the BIOS Version on the MSinfo shows 6.09, 07/09/2010.... where as the one on the HP website... puts the date at BIOS Version. 6.09, 08/05/2013 released 2 months back...

    Could you flash this bios version again

    Also could you post the HWmonitor snapshot as well here

    Will wait for your voltmeter readings as well

    Hello centaur78

    I have tried to flash that BIOS before but after the reboot where it flashes the BIOS, it says there is an error and that the BIOS is reverting back to the default settings.

    Also, here is the screenshot of HWMonitor that you requested.

    Thanks for the reply!

    ok here is what you could do....

    First reset the BIOS password

    Then reset the CMOS

    Follow the steps mentioned here


    Once you have done this... proceed to update the bios...

    Well that looks good to go...

    The defaults are being loaded with BIOS update...

    Now check the bios version and date ...

    Looking up the information in System Info shows the BIOS as being 6.09 with the date as 07/09/2010.

    Also, I'm not sure if this makes any difference,but the jumper pins on my MOBO were not in their default position according to the pictures on that HP website. The green jumper was in the reset position and I have never touched either of those pins.

    I did a reinstall of Windows 7 Pro last night and I thought it had fixed the problems as there has been no issue since then but just now while browsing the web on firefox it happened. The dump files have the same information as the other 2 did.I have no idea what could be causing it and I'm running memtest86 and a HDD diagnostics. I also decided to apply a better quality thermal paste to by CPU which i did yesterday it has improved the temperatures of the CPU and I'm not even sure it is the CPU at this point since even when the computer is sitting idle it will do the restarts. Also I noticed the HDD is having a lot of activity as I can hear it spinning and clicks as if its being accessed. The HDD light is almost always on as well, which leads me to believe that it may be time to replace this HDD.

    I hope the jumpers are in the default position now.. could you do the BIOS reflash again

    Could you run Crystal Disk and post a snapshot of the SMART values here for each HDD/SSD
