BSOD 0x00000124 Not sure of cause. hal.dll, ntoskrnl.exe

themonkeyface · 20 Oct 2013

I've been getting BSOD very consistently over the past few days. I've attached my SF Diagnostic Tool ZIP. According to BlueScreenView, these are the culprits that are reported for the crash:

hal.dll+12a3b
ntoskrnl.exe+18cb03

I can't seem to find any consistency to when it crashes. Sometimes it does it while I'm working on things (Outlook, Chrome, EditPlus, Excel, etc.). Sometimes it does it when I'm not even at the computer. It does seem to be getting more frequent though.

I don't overclock.
I haven't changed any hardware for about a year now.
I'm currently in the process of making sure all my drivers are up to date.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can supply to help figure this out.

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

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.
