BCC error 124 Mainly using FSX but random issues as well...

[Zordman]

Hi all,
Have had the above issue recently using Flight Simulator X (with tons of addons installed to it). Get errors if the CPU is overclocked (4.7, temps around 55C with H60 AIO cooling) and also while at stock clocks simply watching Netflix. Have gone through most of the normal troubleshooting processes (memory tests, clean out PC, update drivers, etc.) but no real result as of yet. Most of the time I get the dreaded BSOD while in FSX but the crash comes after an annoying buzzing in my headphones/speakers . Was working beautifully weeks ago...
I use RealBench to stress my O/C's and it passes everytime, no crashes, good temps...I'm stumped. Time to turn it over to the pros. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Zordman,

Currently it looks like the CPU is bad which can happen after some time of overclocking.
A bad CPU doesn't explain why you can stress test the CPU as you would expect the CPU to fail, but bad CPUs can cause all kinds of problems in all kinds of situations and still pass any test you put them in, I've seen it numberous times.

Thanks Axe0. I'm going to put her back to stock clocks and see how far I can go. She runs fine at stock 3.4/3.8 turbo with no issues whatsoever. Might as well play it safe till the next build. That one should be fun. Will keep an eye on her...

Many thanks,
Z
