BSOD BugCheck 124 GCACHEL2_ERR_ERR every week or so

BSOD BugCheck 124 GCACHEL2_ERR_ERR

Processor: INTEL I7-4770K
Mobo: Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H
Video: EVGA NVIDIA GTX 770
PSU: COOLERMASTER SILENT PRO HYBRID 1300 WATTS

I purchased this PC from Cyberpower a few months ago, and ever since have been getting a similar BSOD about every week or so. It seems to mostly happen when playing games for a long time (it has mostly happened while playing Everquest 1).

I have reset BIOS to defaults and am not overclocking anything. I have updated to the latest bios F7, replaced the memory, re-installed Windows clean onto another spare SSD and I still continue to receive infrequent BSOD. I have ran memtest86, prime95 and IntelBurnTestV2 without any failures.

Do you think this enough evidence that the cpu cache might be faulty and should I try to just RMA the PC? I am worried that since there is such a long time between BSOD and I really can't reproduce the BSOD at will that they wont have that much time to experience it and just send it back.

I also have 4 full MEMORY.DMP files if someone would be interested in those.

Thank you in advance!
