0x124 WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR
Since about August, I would say, my computer has been completely locking up and restarting, then I check the dump files and I'm told that the culprit module is either ntoskrnl.exe or hal.dll.
Since I have more than 4GB of RAM, full dumps haven't been made, but I see that I can do such by some alterations... which I will do, in the event it occurs again.
The weird thing is, I redid Windows on the 12th of September, and until the 31st of October, the computer was fine, no BSOD, etc. For almost 50 days, there wasn't a single issue...
I updated the video card drivers on the 20th of October... until then I'd been using 320.18 which was released on May 23, 2013, after redoing Windows, until the 20th of last month, then I updated the drivers to 320.49 which was released on July 01, 2013... then on the 31st of last month (October), my computer's freezes and restarts started happening... it's only done it once since the 20th, which was on the 31st. Which is what the attached dump file is for.
I've uninstalled those drivers completely after the freeze and restart and installed the latest drivers, 331.65 that were released on the 28th of October.
I don't think it's a overheating issue, because I can run my system at full load without problems... for example, I've been rendering with 3ds max all day and not a problem, which really taxes my RAM and CPU.
The freeze/BSOD seems to happen when the system is either idle or virtually idle, for example, I'll be browsing the internet or watching a blu-ray.
