Solved BSOD 0x124 and other random errors before and after reformat

[Daegorvx]

I'm getting a BSOD randomly after playing a game. Different error each time (i.e. 0x124, 0x7, dxgmms1.sys, 0x1 Bad Pool Header, 0x19 Bad Pool Header etc.) 0x124 is the most common error I'm getting.

What I've tried so far:

- Memtest: I ran it for 10h - no errors found
- HD Tune pro/Crystal Disk Mark: no errors found on my harddrive
- Furmark: no errors found on my GPU
- I reformated my computer: after the format I installed my GPU drivers and one network adapter driver. Before the reformat I had BSOD every 5 min or instantly after a reboot. Now I'm getting them only after a few hours or if I start a game.
- I tried driver sweeper and reinstalling said drivers - same problem
- I then ran Prime95+: I ran it for an hour (during which time no errors were detected). Then I got the BSOD. I don't know whether there is a correlation since I'm getting BSOD randomly with or without running Prime95. The heat of my CPU never exceeded 66°C during the test.
- I also tested my current graph card on a different computer and it worked fine.
- I tested an AMD Raeden graphic card on my computer after doing a complete driver sweep. I still got the same BSOD error 0x124.
- I checked Bios. Did not see any overlock.
- I removed my ram sticks one by one - still got BSOD
- Checked temperatures. My CPU temps never increased about 40-50°C while playing. At idle, temps are around 30-35°C.

My comp specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Intel Core i5 3470@3,20 GZ
Mainboard MSI B75A-G41 Ivybridge
Nvidia Gfeorce GTX 680
12GB Ram
PSU: 650V

I read many threads here about said problem but none of the solutions helped me identify the problem.

Thank you in advance for the help.

Extra information: after running Internalburn Test, I got BSOD after 30 seconds with the 0x124 error. Every time I run Internalburn Test I get the BSOD very quickly.

That points to a CPU thermal problem.

Check your existing cooling fan arrangements (working? adequate? clean?), and then re-seat the CPU cooler/s with new highly quality thermal paste. Google for information on how to clean off old thermal paste and reseat CPU coolers - this is important to get right.

FYI - some info on how IBT works and what it means:

I ran Prime95+.
"FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.498046875, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.".
I consulted the stress.txt file but it's a simple repeat of the above. What does this error mean? Is my CPU defective or is my ram faulty? (ps. I'm not running an overlock)

As I pointed out earlier, this is very likely a CPU temperature problem - not necessarily a hardware failure. Follow the advice about cooling fans and re-seating the CPU cooler.

I replaced the thermal paste. There was no dust in the fans.
However, it didn't help. The more I use the computer, the more frequently I'm getting the BSOD errors. Mostly 0x124 but now 0x3b as well. I did a driver sweep and even a format. Same errors keep popping up.
I even installed an authenticated copy of Windows 7 on a brand new harddrive. Pb still occured minutes after the install.
Now the computer only starts in safe mode. I get an instant BSOD during normal start up.

Is it possible that my fan is not good enough for my CPU?
Fan: Pure Rock Slim BK008
CPU: Intel Core i5 3470@3,20GZ

What temperature is the CPU running at after new thermal paste was applied?

 

[Daegorvx]

Between 31°C-33°C at idle instead of 34°C-37°C. During gaming it rises to around 55°C, maybe 60° during its peak.
