i updated my sound drivers and it didnt help but i think ive figured it out for my system. i swapped my graphics cards into eachothers slot and i havent frozen since. now for some stress tests.

well i noticed it seemed to be happening to me in 3d apps and frequently on loading screens. ram tests fine so i use one graphics card (which froze twice) then the other. and it haasnt frozen yet. however ill give it a few more days before i claim case closed.
EDIT: ok! appearantly only usin one graphics card increased stability but i was just burning a movie and it did it again. i cant just buy a whole new damn computer. im hoping it is memory.
EDIT 2: ok uploading sf diagnostic info and pics. oh and funny thing is stress tests on gpu's cpu and memory all refuse to freeze the system.

been having similar problems with my dell - and it all started after putting in a brand new q6600 - ive tried everything the origional cpu - bla bla bla - the lot . I thought i fixed it after swithcing off stepping in the bios fine for a week then BOOM its back, i am sick ;-( no help for 124 stop codes - its hardware- but it ran perfect for 10 days ?? anyway have atached some screenshots for comparison
ah yes i have the exact same problem myself ive done all of these things and more besides and im still finding it a random problem. altho i dont think ive had it as bad as you guys. my pc has only ever restarted bwt 3 or 4 times in the hour.
1) Downloaded and installed upto date drivers
2) Run a complete virus scan
3) Cleaned all my fans
4) put more thermal paste onto my processor because it seemed to be lacking abit
5) installed a new power supply
6) checked for over heating
the only thing i havent done is something in bios and monday ill be doing a clean install and see if that works
This was talked about four months ago, but it's the only thing I can find about this problem:/
The exact same thing is happening to my computer.
mines my memory as far as im concerned. ive used the graphics cars in similar systems with not ill results. try changing your ram with another set.
