BSOD occasionally, BCCODE 124, often while tabbed out of games

[RandyMcCandy]

Hello,

I've had few BSODs in the last days and I am not sure where its from. Maybe you guys could have a look. I have the feeling they often happen while being tabbed out of games. My drivers should be all up to date since I reinstalled Windows 2 months ago. And the frequently changing ones like graphics drivers are updated regularly.

Hope you guys can help me.

Addition:
If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.
