BSOD after about an hour of use, Bug Code 0x00000124

yes, using the exact same power cable, but using a different SATA cable...

Unfortunately, I cannot currently run the diagnostic tool on my SSD. Would you care to see the minidump file?

Thanks for the response. Here are answers to your questions:

Question 1, how did the fire start?
-I was stupidly using computer cleaner (aerosol) on my computer while there were candles nearby. The aerosol ignited inside my computer case

Question 2, what parts were hit by the fire?
-Imagine my computer lying on its side with the side panel open. The ball of fire occurred between my graphics card and powersupply. The closest hardware was my motherboard, power supply, and GPU. A little further away are my hard drives. The furthest thing away was my CPU.

Question 3, how did you kill the fire?
-The fire was instant. It died on its own after perhaps 2 seconds

I would also like to mention that I have tried changing SATA ports for each hard drive. The power cable is a serial power cable that connects each hard drive in a series.

Thanks!

I'm very very sorry for my delay... I have been out of town

Before the fire, I installed a Noctua air cooler after removing my Corsair H80i water cooler.

I then started spraying aerosol computer cleaner/duster, which caused the short fire.

Immediately after the fire (which only lasted a couple seconds):

-I waved some air into my computer case while it was still on its side using a towl
-I looked for physical damage on my computer for about 2 minutes. I looked at every part to see if anything burned. None of the computer hardware had any visible physical damage. But, there was some burning damage to some plastic on the case/chasis. None of the power lines appeared to be damaged.
-I then blew out the candles on the table.
-I then did nothing for about 2 minutes... just panicked.
-Then, I continued to use the computer cleaner aerosol spray to remove the extra dust.
-Afterwards, I checked all connections to make sure everything was fitting properly.
-I double-checked that all of the connections for the Noctua air cooler were fitting properly
-I then picked up my computer, turned it right-side-up, carried it to my office and plugged it in.
-I then tried starting my computer. The cooling fans were loud, so I shut my computer down and installed the Noctua resistor that was included with the cooling unit to reduce fan voltage and slow the fans down.
-I turned my computer on, heard that it was now quiet, and turned it off again.
-I also installed 2 new sticks of 8gb G-skull RAM (I can't remember if I did this before or after installing the fan resistor)
-For a while, everything seemed okay. But, after a while, maybe 30 minutes, I got that horrible BSOD
-After that, I tried updating drivers, and also removing startup programs that I don't need. Everything got worse from there....

I would like to make one more point. I feel that the most common time that I get the BSOD is when I'm watching a YouTube video or streaming video like the Simpsons from streaming sites. But, this could be my imagination, because I am also getting the same BSOD when I'm doing computer programming and NOT streaming video.

... and also, all of my drivers refused to update. It's like Windows just suddenly decided to molest my computer...

Please uninstall Beta software whilst the problem is being investigated
