I'll give it a day or two and see what happens. If there are no more halts I'll assume it was the memory configuration.
Here is the SPD panel
Is there any writing to that USB key? How old is it? You might look into what it takes to get a replacement just in case
The image above is Slot#1. Do the others match? Data gets spread over all modules available. That's how dual/quad channel memory works. It never gets used end-to-end.
I'll stay subscribed and tag along. 0x124 hardware errors are always hard to pin down. I'm surprised memtest didn't say anything. The recovered cache errors have me on edge. :) Even though you don't get a dump, a fresh run of the utility and/or a look at the syslog might confirm you're not getting continued cache errors. Give it day or so and re-run the utility.
All 4 memory slots show the same in CPU-Z.
The USB "dongle" key for iLok is a proprietary and its a $49 charge for a new one plus a charge by Pace to move it to a new key. On recording forums, there is very little failure of the keys. There have been some that had problems with the Pace software, but I haven't had any issues (over the past 5 years that I've been using it).
Although I have a SSD and fast boot up times, it seems to be visibly faster since I changed the memory to XMP. I have some Corsair that I can try if needed (if I get another blue screen).
Update, I'm posting this from my dual boot Win 8.1.1 installation. Win 8 metro apps are zinging by much faster since I changed memory to XMP. Maybe that change was the answer? Again, I'll wait a couple of days to see if its settled down.
Thanks/Jack
I thought that is the way you had it before. But, It's good that it's running good, no matter how it was. Good, job.
I was still getting an occasional WHEA error (not many but I did get two) showing up in the Windows system event logs.
I swapped the GSkill memory with Corsair Vengeance 1866Mhz memory CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R.
I haven't got a WHEA error since. However, I can't get my Gigabyte GAZ77X UD5H motherboard (with an i7 3770) memory speed up to the 1866.
In the BIOS I have
XMP Profile 1
System Memory Multiplier 18.67
Memory Frequency 1333 Mhz. The option for this parameter is grayed out (not accessable) but shows 1867Mhz
Here are the CPU-Z panels
You could try, if your board allows it, to set it manually, with the frequency at 1866, timings of 9-10-9-27-2T and the voltage at 1.5V. But I'm not sure why the XMP would be greyed out. You ram clearly has an XMP profile.
The specs on that board would indicate 1866 is not an option. It jumps from 1600 in native mode to24002800 if overclocked. Steve is the over clocker so I'll stand by. The Gigabyte specs include a number of steps in their memory compatibility chart so does this mean you have to turn off XMP and overclock the memory to get those steps?
Memory Standard DDR3 2400(OC)/1600/1333/1066
