    BSOD when I play computer game


    I get a BSOD usually when I play a computer game, and this is the error code windows gives me 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0xfffffa8007dbf028, 0x00000000b2000040, 0x0000000000000800).

    my windows 7 is 64bit
    original intalled os, oem version
    system is about 1 year old, same with the OS instillation

    The BSODs don't occur outside of the game so it leads me to believe it has something to do with the video card? Just speculation. To be more specific, it seems that these bsod's have been occurring ever since I installed an ati radeon 5850, from a 4870 several months ago. My vid drivers are updated and windows says it doesn't have any other hardware drivers to update.

    These crashes were caused by several things but they all point to hardware. Please use these instructions to find out what that means and to figure out what to try.

    Thanks

    EDIT: I am reading the DMP files now be back soon.

    As previously indicated all the crashes were caused by hardware with this exception. The one below was caused by your video driver. I would remove all traces of the current driver (there is a mfr removal tool) before downloading and installing the new one.

      Expected Frequency: 2830
      Actual Frequency:     3113
      Overclock Ratio:      1.10
    It's a BUS interconnect error (specifically a cache miss and timeout gathering data from cache), and it's flag is 0x00 meaning it's a local processor originated request (according to the Intel documentation on the MCA architecture in Intel CPUs). So either it happens because there's some problem with the video card (or bus), or you have a failing CPU under load. I honestly couldn't tell you which, and given you built this system yourself it seems (looks like an ASRock P45XE with an overclocked Q9550 running at 3.1GHz), you might just want to try and remove the overclock to see if things get stable again
