BSOD 0x00000124 (happening at random times)

[stavee]

Thanks everyone that's helped so far btw!

Seatools passed

And my temps didn't get past 70

Have you checked that all the cables are securely plugged in?
Un-plug them, check for any damage to the connections and wires, then plug them back in.
Look for any possible grounding points on the motherboard.

If this is a BSOD problem, then please upload the .dmp file!

Thank you ... however, I was hoping for the entire report ... there is more information contained within the report, other than just the .dmp file, that can aid in pinpointing the the faulting hardware involved. The last .dmp file is reporting a 0x124 error which is different than a simple 0x116 error. You may want to have a look at this thread for a more detailed explanation of the 0x124 error... Good lucl!

I've run various stress tests, checked temps and still can't pin point it to anything, very annoying!

Could a clean install help?

Also this might help, ive noticed the bsod happening when I wake my comp up from sleep if that makes sense

Error code says it's hardware, which may include hardware drivers.

Have you updated all the drivers from the Gigabyte site?

How many USB devices do you have plugged in?

Can you get another known working keyboard and mouse to test with?

Looks like the next step is going to be remove all non-essential devices, sound card, non-OS HDDs, everything possible, if you still have BSoDs you need to start replacing the other hardware with spare or borrowed components until you can find the culprit.

If that fails to turn anything up then you need to do a bench test.

Worst case scenario in this situation is a manual search. This means unplugging every and all non-essential components and running the system. Then you add each component back in 1 at a time until the error pops up.

hay guys its been awhile!!

i was going well but happened again

i unpluggged a harddrive i thought was causing the program as i installed it around the time of the bsod but it happened whilst this was unplugged so cant be

i have another theory
it could be my cd drive as i also changed from an ide drive to sate drive so maybe its that? should i just unplug it for the time being and see or plug the ide drive back in?

also its getting me to the point where i dont think its a hardware problem cause i run another OS on here (hacnkintosh) and its perfect on there. infact without it on there i probably wouldnt be able to boot back into windows as i need to boot into mac - shutdown - then boot back into windows... if it crashes and loads to windows again it just wont boot

Take every componet that you don't absolutely need, check for BSoDs.

Minimum should be one OS HDD, no CD/DVD drive, minimum RAM for your system to run - 2GB, nothing external except monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Change the keyboard and mouse if you get a BSoD.

If you get the system to run stable, start adding the other components one at a time and test for BSoDs, when your are sure it's stable add another component.

Let us know how it's going.
