BSOD 0x124 when viewing photos on ACDSee, but also playing, videos etc

Hi all

New here, but I tried to search through the topics to find out if there's an answer to my problem, but couldn't find one that would help.

My problem is, I've been getting random BSOD's while playing, watching videos and editing photos. They've been totally random and it has been hard to pinpoint what exactly has happened. I started also having some problems with an old hard drive so I decided I'd go with a fresh Win7 install with a new hard drive. Did so, installed all the latest drivers and programs I needed and just happened to view some photos with ACDSee and bam, BSOD. This time I could repeat that BSOD as many times I wanted, just by opening ADCSee and viewing photos. Maybe I wouldn't even need ACDSee, I could use another program too, but I'm still getting BSOD's while playing too so there has to be something wrong with the hardware, I think.

So, after reading a lot about it, I tried to stress test my system to try to pinpoint faulty hardware. I ran
-memtest86+ for hours, no errors
-chkdsk
-FurMark
-Prime95
None of those cause any problems. I've also monitored my temperatures and evem when playing, they're stable (cpu core temps in the 30's celcius and gpu under 50 celcius).
I also tried to make sure all my drivers were the latest I could get, no help.

So finally I decided to wipe out my c: drive again and go with a fresh Win7 install. After the install I only installed a LAN driver to be able to connect to the internet and ran Windows update + installed ACDSee to test if the problem is still there and bam, still getting BSOD. So this is a vanilla install with basically no installed drivers. Has to be hardware related, right?

So please, help me find out what exactly is it that's giving me this headache.
Thank you

Hi Firu,

Welcome to the 7forums :)

If you don't use ACD, do you still get a BSOD?

Please run CPU-Z | Softwares | CPUID, open it and make screenshots of the following tabs

• CPU
• Mainboard
• Memory
• SPD*
• Graphics

*SPD shows the details of each stick, you can show the details by choosing different slots in the left upper corner.
Please make screenshots of each stick.

Please post each screenshot in your next reply/replies.

Update: I think I already did this before but I wasn't really sure so I just tried it again.
I tested the memory sticks so that I only used one pair at a time to see if it helped but again, got a BSOD on both separate pairs.

Updat2: I also just tested out so that I only had 2 sticks but having them in the black sockets instead of blue sockets. Still BSOD after a while of browsing through some photos.

Please remove either of the memory models at all times.
