Random BSOD error 0x124, CPU suspected
Hi sevenforums. I'm usually pretty good at solving PC problems but this one has me stumped. I've been using my custom built PC fine for about a year until about the past month or so I've been getting random BSOD. I've read a TON of stuff here and elsewhere on how to resolve it to no avail.
System Specs:
i5 3570k @ stock clocks(had it overclocked fine for about a year @ 4.2 1.15 vcore w/ normal temps)
ASUS p8z77-V LE Pro
8 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600
Enermax NAXN 550W PSU
Seagate Barricuda 1TB 7200
Things I've tried so far:
- memtest 10 passes cleared. (I get BSOD with either of my 2 ram sticks installed 1 at a time or both)
- prime95 for 24 hours(oddly enough it passed this fine with normal temps)
- deleting known BSOD causing software and system files (sptd.sys, avast, etc.)
- updating all drivers/BIOS and trying different (older) graphic drivers.
- reverting to stock clock speeds on CPU/GPU.
- chkdsk /r and sfc /scannow
- removed GPU and still BSOD
I'm 99% sure its my CPU dying on me. This is because I'm even randomly freezing inside of my BIOS where I have to hard shutdown. I've tried numerous BIOS configurations (disabling/enabling C states, speedstep) to no avail. Sometimes I'll be fine for hours -- days even. Earlier tonight was the worst it's been, BSOD everytime I got to Windows Logo even in safe mode. Randomly, it finally let me in and I've been good for about 45 minutes. How can I be sure it's my cpu and not my motherboard though?
