Random BSOD's Happening frequently, error 0x00000124
So, here's my story, I built my computer about 2 years ago. A few months after building it, I got a BSOD. I didn't think much of it, just carried on. Then I got another one a few months later. I formatted and they seemed to be better, though I did get another a few more months later. About a year or so ago I formatted again, hoping to be rid of them, but I haven't been. I was told over on the PCHelpForums that it could be over heating. So I bought a Corsair H100i water cooler, and my temps have been low now, but I'm still getting blue screens.
I was told it could be my ram or graphics card, so I tested my ram individually each stick and they passed all the tests. I did an intense graphics test on my GPU and left it for an hour, It got very very hot, up to 80c I believe, but no BSOD, after an hour I stopped it.
They have been getting more frequent, I got about a dozen this year already. 2 in one day. I don't have all of those logs but I do have the most recent 4. They all say the same exact thing.

The thing is, I at first thought it was from recording my games. But they can happen when I'm playing GTA and not recording, Playing Minecraft and not recording, I have even had one randomly happen while on google chrome. But the strange thing is, it's not an every time thing. I played for 6 hours a few days ago with some friends on GTA, and nothing, but I got one another time while playing GTA only 2 hours in.
I really need help, I make youtube videos for my "job" right now and I can't be loosing my videos or data. PCHelpForum directed me to this site. Yes I have all my windows updates, all my Bios updates, all my Nvidia updates. All of that is installed, Norton says I have no viruses after running a full system scan, I'm out of ideas right now.
One more thing, My CPU is overclocked right now, and before you go AHhhh, It doesn't over heat with the water cooler on it (I have a live temp running when my computer is on) I overclocked it below what was intended as it is the k series. Intel says it can go up to 4.2 I have it at 4.0 And I have no problems with it most of the time. And the biggest thing, I was getting these BSOD's of the same exact everything before I overclocked. Same Address, Same Bug code, and Same Parameters. I over clocked using the built in system with my BIOS and I believe that is not the reason for these BSOD's. Thank you for your help and please help quickly
