BSOD @ Random Times error 0x00000124

BSOD watching Youtube error 0x00000124

Ever since I installed my new PSU and GPU into my system, I get blue screens by random it seems. Once was when I was watching a Youtube video, the other was me playing a game. I've included the dmps in the Zip file. Please look at the later ones, for example, the one from Sept. 21, or today in fact. The older ones can be used for reference too. Thanks in advance.

Please fill up the missing information of your system Specs, including the PSU info. It is very vital.
See your system specs and fill it up here.
Let us know the wattage of the PSU.

And, Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

As you pointed these two as a line, so let us see these two at first. Will go for other things depending on the situation.

I filled the missing specs.

Here is the result from benchmarking, which I have done many times before by the way ^-^: http://puu.sh/4xPkN.png

 

[Newtorfer]

Bah, wrong settings. I didn't read the Furmark link you had. Well, I did what the post told me. I didn't get any artifacts and the temprature leveled at about 82 C

 

[Arc]

620 Watts are enough of a PSU there. And if furmark ran as you told it, the GPU is also should not be the issue.

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

Stress test the CPU.
Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy.

 

[Newtorfer]

Funny, I was actually running Memtest at during school today before you made the post. It ran, 0 errors to be found.

Going to test the CPU now.

 

[Newtorfer]

Ran Prime95 for 3 hours now, no errors, eveything is A-Okay. I'm gonna let it shut down, then use it regularly.

 

[Newtorfer]

Here's the screenshot you requested http://puu.sh/4yI7c.png

 

[Arc]

Is it just after shutting down Prime95? If not, we have arrived at the decision.

If yes, give us another screenshot.... after a couple of hours normal usage.

Will suggest after seeing your reply to my question.

 

[Newtorfer]

After shutting down Prime i shut off my computer for about an hour. I started it back up, surfed the web for a couple of hours (0 gaming, mind you) and took that screenshot. In short, we have come to our conslusion.

 

[Arc]

And here is the conclusion:

Dismantle the PC. Clean everything inside, carefully. Clean the air vents and fan grills, so that it can blow the hot air out effectively. Then remove thermal paste that was already applied and apply new thermal paste.



If you put a load on the CPU before cleaning the earlier applied thermal paste, it will become soft and easily removable.

Do it and let us know if anything have changed there or not.

 

[Newtorfer]

If I couldn't do that, is there any other way to improve?

 

[Arc]

If I couldn't do that, is there any other way to improve?

Yes Ask a technician to do it for you, against a charge.

It may be only the thermal paste which got dried, mate. If re-applying the paste may save you from getting a new CPU, why not try it at first?

 

[Newtorfer]

Yeah, alright. I'll have a go at it myself. Will post again once it's done.

 

[Newtorfer]

Just got another BSOD

I didn't apply the new thermal paste yet, but I'd appreciate it if you'd check it out anyway.

Till you dont do what is suggested earlier, BSODs will continue to occur, and no more crash dump analysis can do anything good.

Report us only after re-applying the thermal paste.

Both of those images were taken with an open case. I actually took my hair dryer and blew cold air into the cpu fan. It went down to 50 c after 2 minutes of cold air.

Have you reapplied the thermal paste? I am not getting any confirmation about it in three of your last posts.
