The first parameter or argument has the value of 0x0, which is a Machine Check Exception, which means the CPU has detected a hardware problem and the address points to a processor error because the CPU has found one, so it could be a different form of hardware which is causing the issue.

Your Intel graphics card driver seems to be a possible cause, please check for updates from here - Intel® Driver Update Utility

Furthermore, since a Stop 0x124 is a hardware related BSOD, then I would suggest testing the CPU http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/220743-cpu-stress-test-using-intelburntest.html; I'm sure the Intel graphics card is either integrated into the CPU or the motherboard.

All the hardware seeming to be running stable and tests reporting no errors, could mean a bad motherboard.
