So i have recently just built my PC and i thought it all went quite well..
but when i was updating and of the hardware/software i would instantly get a blue screen error..
i first thought it was that i needed to update the bios... which i did..
and then updated everything in device manager apart from two that cannot be found.
firstly i got an error code that i couldnt quite get the number of but it had some 3s in it :L

After doing quite a bit of research i decided it must be the gpu as now i was only getting BSOD when i loaded up a game and started to play.. menus were fine but the actual game few secounds/minutes boom crash

i also moved the graphics card down a slot to see if that would work.. nope..


Please help i really to be rid of this problem...

Have a read of this thread for some general info and things to do
http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lockup-debug-how/35349-stop-0x124-what-means-what-try.html

The dump indicates a level 2 cache error reported by the cpu although this does not necessarily mean the cpu is faulty
I would start by checking machine temperatures at idle and at load and see how fast/how high the temps rise to see if anything is overheating

If you want to stress test the cpu try http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100352-hardware-stress-test-prime95.html but you need to monitor temps closely while doing it and dont leave unattended until you are sure temp has levelled out and be sure to abort the test if temps rise to high/too fast

Post back your temps and if they are ok then we can look at some other things
