Solved [BCCODE 124] Mouse freezes followed by a BSOD while browsing

[Sven24]

Hello! For the past few days while browsing my mouse suddenly freezes for 2/3 seconds and the cursor gets all colorful and after a few minutes my computer just completely freezes and fails to respond to anything. After restarting I get a message about a BSOD with a BCCODE of 124. I'm suspecting it's due to the latest video drivers I installed but I'm not completely sure.

Hi Sven24.

Your suspect may be absolutely right. Install the NVIDIA DRIVERS 314.22WHQL only.

• Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features
  • 3D Vision Control Driver
  • 3D Vision Driver
  • Graphics Driver
  • HD Audio Driver
  • PhysX
  • nvidia Update
  (Are you using nvidia chipset drivers? If so, dont uninstall anything other than those are listed).
• Now follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
• Download 314.22 WHQL. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:
  
  

Let us know the results. If it BSODs again, Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions. A stray crash bump does not provide enough information.

Thank you, I have done all the things listed. I will keep track of what's going on and I will let you know if it keeps happening. Also, may I ask what's so specific about the driver version you gave me? And again, thanks!

 

[Arc]

Well, I suggest it based on my personal experience. I have faced various issues with the display drivers other than 314.22 (and an earlier one, 306.23). And, a few of the driver versions later than 314.22 gave me such cursor issue, too.

So I stick with 314.22 and when people have issues with the later versions, suggest them to do it; as that particular version does not cause any disturb at all.

 

[Sven24]

No more BSOD's but it seems like I'm still getting some mouse freezes every now and then and I have no idea what might be causing them but I'm pretty sure it's not from the mouse itself. Anyways, thanks.
