BSOD during regular computer use, hal.dll+12a3b & ntoskrnl.exe+18c453

Logmore · 27 Oct 2013

When I use my computer normally (as in, just browsing the internet), my computer will often lock up, then restart. I did not think it was a BSOD at first, but occasionally I would actually get the bluescreen, and crash dump files were created.

A strange thing about this BSOD is that I never get it while playing games. The sole exception is the game Path of Exile, but since no dump file is created after a Path of Exile crash, it is probably a separate problem. This problem only occurs while I am doing something mundane that does not use my processor power/memory, apparently.

Here's my Diagnostic .zip. Hopefully one of you guys can enlighten me on what the problem is.

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. You can read more on this error and what to try here... Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try: Stop 124 - What it means and what to try
