    BSOD playing some games and even once on the desktop. Error 0x00000124


    Hi! I've been getting BSODs while playing XCom - Enemy Within and Heroes of the Storm, and today I got one at desktop after a hard restart I got while playing one of those games. My PC is about half a year old and I've checked to see if the hardware and cables were properly connected. I don't think it's overheating either as I get it after 10 minutes in those games almost everytime, and it doesn't crash in f.ex. Dark Souls 2. I've verified game files for XCom in steam several times, but it doesn't find anything wrong, and it doesn't fix it. I very recently updated both audio and video drivers, but the errors keep coming the exact same way as before I updated.

    DM Log Collector ZIP attached.

    Please help. :)

    As you already know, you're receiving 0x124 STOPs, theses denote a hardware error. As is usually the case though the dumps are giving away nothing in regards which piece of hardware is problematic. The usual line of investigation here is to run a series of stress and diagnostic tests.




    STOP 0x124 Troubleshooting

       Warning
    Read carefully before proceeding.



       Warning
    If you're overclocking your system, revert back to stock clocks now.

       Note
    Test the system once the overclock is removed before continuing with the steps outlined below.





    ONE

     CPU TEST


    Run Prime95 to stress test your CPU. Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

       Warning
    Your CPU temperatures will rise quickly while under this stress test. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if your CPU overheats.





    TWO

     RAM TEST


    Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. RAM - Test with Memtest86+



    MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.[/note]




    THREE

     HDD TEST


    Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use

    Run chkdsk Disk Check




    FOUR

     GPU TEST


    Run Furmark to stress test your GPU. Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

       Note
    Run Furmark for around 30 minutes.

       Warning
    Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if your card overheats.
