    BSOD all the time for no apparent reason


    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: MachineOwner
    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: fffffa8005c52728, Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.
    Arg3: 0000000000000000, High order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
    Arg4: 0000000000000000, Low order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
    The 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.

    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.

    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.
