    BSOD occasionally, BCCODE 124, often while tabbed out of games


    Hello,

    I've had few BSODs in the last days and I am not sure where its from. Maybe you guys could have a look. I have the feeling they often happen while being tabbed out of games. My drivers should be all up to date since I reinstalled Windows 2 months ago. And the frequently changing ones like graphics drivers are updated regularly.

    Hope you guys can help me.

    STOP 0x124 Troubleshooting

    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.


    Part One: CPU Stress Test
    Part Two: MemTest86+ RAM Diagnostic
    Part Three: Hard Drive Diagnostics
    Part Four: GPU Stress Test




    ONE

     CPU TEST


    Run Prime95 and/or IntelBurnTest to stress test your CPU. Prime95 - Stress Test Your CPU - Windows 10 Forums & CPU - Stress Test Using IntelBurnTest

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

    TWO

     RAM TEST


    Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 7 Help Forums

       Note


    MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete 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.

    Make a photo of the result and post it please.

    Addition:
    If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
    If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.
