Hi
I have a custom built PC Windows 7 x 64bit which just keeps freezing after a few minutes of using it for no apparent reason.
Error message here any help appreciated because when it works its a cracking little PC
Thanks in advance to all you very cleaver people.
Right, you have 0x124 bugchecks which indicate a fatal hardware error has occurred.
Code:******************************************************************************* * * * Bugcheck Analysis * * * ******************************************************************************* Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information. BugCheck 124, {0, fffffa8005c52728, 0, 0} Probably caused by : hardware Followup: MachineOwnerThe first argument or parameter indicates a machine check has taken place where the processor has detected a hardware error and has reported it. It doesn't necessarily mean the CPU is at fault.Code:WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124) A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error source that reported the error.

is this what you want ?
Did it crash at all when running?
The temperature isn't too hot.
No it didn't crash did test for 25 minutes didn't know how to stop it !!
Just to be on the safe side lets run Prime95 and Memtest86.
Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
They will stress test your CPU and RAM for errors.

Hi It appears both tests have passed but it still keeps freezing .
Thanks
You should run it for around 2 hours. If nothing happens then it's probably not a faulty CPU.

Ran with no faults any other suggestions ?
Many Thanks
Well that ran for a very long time so we can safely say the CPU is not faulty.
It doesn't look like the GPU or RAM is faulty either.
99% of the time 0x124 bugchecks are caused by faulty hardware, however I have known cases (My own pc included) where 0x124 bugchecks can be caused by drivers at fault.
Please enable Driver Verifier by following these instructions to see if a driver is at fault.
