    Yes it does, just upload the entire folder as you would normally do with a single file.

    You are getting 0x124 bugchecks which indicate a fatal hardware error has occurred.
    The best way to determine if a piece of hardware is failing, and if so which piece is to run hardware stress tests.

    Stress test your CPU with Prime95

    I recommend running Prime95 for around 2 hours

       Warning

    As with most stress tests your component's temperature will rapidly increase.
    It is advised that you download a temperature monitoring program like HWmonitor
    Keep an eye on your temperatures and stop the tests if it starts to overheat


    Stress test your graphics card with Furmark

    I recommend running it for around 30 minutes

       Warning

    Furmark will increase the temperature of your GPU rapidly so keep and eye on your temperatures


    Memtest86 will test your RAM

       Information

    Run Memtest86 for at least 8 passes so we get enough information to confirm that your RAM isn't failing


    Run a Disk Check to scan for errors

       Note

    Afterwards go into an Elevated Command Prompt (Run as administrator) and type in sfc /scannow
    If it finds errors reboot and run the scan two more times


    Run SeaTools to see if your HDD or SSD is failing

    Post back the results.

    I tried downloading prime 95 but something is amiss with their servers at present. Is there anywhere else i can download this from or is there any other program i can use? thanks. Also; for memtest86+; unfortunately; I do not have any discs to burn that to; so another way to test will have to be reccomended.

    Do you have a USB stick to use Memtest?

    You can try IntelBurnIn test.
    Here's some good instructions.

    Well; apparently the servers for prime 95 are up and running again so I downloaded it; ran it; and as soon as i tried to run it.....yep....you probably guessed it.....bsod again. I ran the seagate tools; and no issues with hard drive. Is there another test for ram that wont bsod on me that i can test my ram with? Now what?

    I am about 1/2 step from pounding this computer into about 1,000,000 little pieces. I am a windows geek and am pretty knowledgable about windows; but when it comes to figuring out bsod's; I cant seem to figure it out for the life of me and I wish i could.

    Run IBT as suggested. Run Memtest86+ from a bootabl6USB thumb drive.

    Problem is I do not have a thumb drive to run it on. Or the discs to run memtest from so something else will
    Have to be recommended.
