Hi guys, any help with the recent BSOD I been getting would be really appreciated. I have attached the files as suggested elsewhere on the board.

Thanks,

Code:

BugCheck 124, {0, fffffa800d2b5028, fe200000, 21166}

Probably caused by : GenuineIntel

Followup: MachineOwner
---------

A stop 0x124 is a hardware caused bugcheck.

If Prime95 can replicate this BSOD, then most probably it is the CPU itself that is failing.

But before blaming the CPU, check two more things.

Are you overclocking? As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings.

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: Speccy - Publish Snapshot of your System Specs .

Let us know.

Thanks for the reply :)

I wasn't overclocking anything but have reset my BIOS settings to default just in case. The same thing happens when I stress with Prime95.

Screenshot of Speccy attached.

IMHO you should change the CPU.

Thanks for your help. It has been logged with the company I bought it off. They are happy to speak to Intel and look to swap it out.
