BSOD Bug report: 0x00000124 Caused by Driver: hal.dll

I keep having problems with a handful of chosen events. For example when I try and play Minecraft I can play fine for about a few seconds but then I blue screen. Also, when I am viewing a game trailer on Steam I crash.

Run Prime95, if the temps goes too high stop the test. Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

Yes, it seems my CPU temperature according to Speccy shot up to 97o as soon as i started the test.

Then it's a bad CPU cooler, replace it.
