Alienware M17xR2
OEM Windows 7 Home Premium x64

Bought this laptop for about 1 year.
Had both 4870s in XF replaced about half a year ago.
No Overclocking done, except with the built in Turbo mode by Alienware

Had the BSOD when playing The Witcher 2 yesterday, no problem playing before that. Had this BSOD ever since yesterday after about 10min of playing

Tried looking through the web, cant find any cause or solution.

BC124 is a hardware error, your CPU is blamed.
You should test it
   Information
Run Prime 95 again to test your CPU. Carefully the instructions in this tutorial: CPU - Stress Test with Prime95. Run 3 separate tests, one on each of the settings (Blend, Small FFTs, Large FFTs). Post back with your results.
   Information
Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%. They use a driver, found in your dmp, sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs. Use this SPTD uninstaller when you're done: DuplexSecure - Downloads
You can use MagicDisc as an alternative.

Please remove McAfee using their Uninstall Tool and use Microsoft Security Essentials

Blamed on hardware I would do two things first.

1-Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.

They use a driver, found in your dmp,sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

Use this SPTD uninstaller DuplexSecure - Downloads

when you're done you can use this Freeware MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM(MagicDisc) in its place.


2- remove Macaffe and replace with Microsoft security essentials.

How to uninstall or reinstall supported McAfee consumer products using the McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool (MCPR.exe)


http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

If that doesnt fix the problem try this

Your .dmp file shows a stop error of 0x124 which is a general hardware error .

A "stop 0x124" is fundamentally different to many other types of bluescreens because it stems from a hardware complaint.

Stop 0x124 minidumps contain very little practical information, and it is therefore necessary to approach the problem as a case of hardware in an unknown state of distress.

You can read more on this error and what to try here... Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lockup-debug-how/35349-stop-0x124-what-means-what-try.html

It means that there is a hardware problem in the CPU, you should get a new one
