BSOD/Restarts 0x00000124

Hi and welcome to SF :) .

All three bugchecks are the the exact same consistant error:

Code:

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error
source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the
WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error conditon.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, Machine Check Exception
Arg2: fffffa8008757028, Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.
Arg3: 00000000fe800000, High order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
Arg4: 0000000000020015, Low order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.

Code:

!errrec fffffa8008757028

We can see an error in the TLB cache, which is consistent though out the rest of the dumps.



It appears that your CPU is overclocked:

Code:

[CPU Information]
~MHz = REG_DWORD 3616
Component Information = REG_BINARY 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
Configuration Data = REG_FULL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
Identifier = REG_SZ AMD64 Family 21 Model 1 Stepping 2
ProcessorNameString = REG_SZ AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor            
VendorIdentifier = REG_SZ AuthenticAMD

Reset the BIOS back to default in case you're unaware that your CPU is overclocked:

• CLR CMOS

   Note

Write down the current value of the SATA Mode!
Its either AHCI or IDE.
After resetting the CMOS go back and verify the value for SATA Mode is what it was
when the OS was installed.

A newer BIOS version has been released:

Code:

BiosVersion = 1003   
BiosReleaseDate = 03/26/2012

AMD CPU's are know to be sensitive to BIOS updates and benefit from such.
Please update your BIOS.

   Warning

Flashing the BIOS is a risky procedure. If you are uncomfortable
performing it yourself have a technician perform it.
Regardless, flashingis at your own risk.

A "stop 0x124" is fundamentally different to many other types of bluescreens because it stems from a hardware complaint. Stop 0x124 minidumps contain very little practical information, and it is therefore necessary to approach the problem as a case of hardware in an unknown state of distress. - H2SO4

The generic nature of the 0x124 (Arg1=0) stop code means we would have to take
the trail & error approach.

Do you have any spear parts (or another PC) to test with, mainly a PSU?
The usual suspect of this kind of BCCode is the CPU but it's often not the the case which is why we need
to test other components to rule them out as the cause.
How old are your components?


What is the make an model of you PSU?
Fill out this form and post back the result:

• Power Supply Calculator

Good practice, open up the case and re-seat all types of connection.

• SATA Cables (HDD/SSD/ODD).
• SATA-Power.
• Motherboard 24-pin.
• Motherboard 4/8-pin (CPU).
• Re-seat the RAM.
• Re-seat the GPU.

Make sure that every slot / cable head is free of dust or other obstruction.
Make sure that every connection is seating properly and firmly in-place.

Also have a look at the motherboard and the GPU, search for any "bad caps", bulky, leaking bloated capacitors.

i.e

• Download Speccy and post a Screenshot of the summary window, one at idle and another while putting load on the PC using Prime95 for the CPU side and Furmark for the GPU.

   Note

If any other component is overclocked reset it back to stock speeds!

Thanks for the feedback :) .
The temperatures are looking very good, how long did you allow the stress for?

I wouldn't replace the PSU with an old one as it might just give false positives, keep testing with your current one for the moment being.

Naturally our main focus would be the 4 years old motherboard, RAM and CPU but is not to say
that other newer parts can't hit the dirt prematurely.

Since resetting the CMOS (BIOS), cleaning and re-seating the physical connections
did you have any issues?

What sort of flickering?
Does it look like a low-hertz display (below 59Hz), or are the flickers are very predominant (sudden blackouts)?

Did you update the BIOS?

Could be a faulty GPU / output connector.
Try using a different output source ie. DVI / HDMi..
If that doesn't fix the BSOD's switch to the integrated graphics for testing purposes.

Thanks for the update, let us know how things develop due time :) .
