Solved BSOD occurs at least once or more, error 0x00000124

[zack61w]

Been gettting BSOD pretty frequently, at least once after booting the system. I did came to know the error was related to hardware or driver error so performed memtest, processor diagnostic tool, driver verifier, CPU stress test, Hard disk test. All tests were passed So confused what's causing it

Maybe your computer is full of dust and therefore overheating. Maybe you have a bad GPU. Install Speedfan and see if any temperatures are excessively hot.

Please run the DM Log Collector again and upload a new zip, the current uploaded one misses several logs.
You could check if there are

1. 18 .txt,
2. 1 .nfo,
3. 1 or more .dmp,

files present, if this is the case then all logs are present
If there are a few missing, no problem as we can get them manually if required

 

[zack61w]

Thanks for the follow up. I did as said, here's the new one!!
Actually the .txt and .nfo files aren't added automatically into the zip file so what I did is manually zipped the SFdebugfiles folder.

You have an OEM SLP product ID, a type of activation that is installed by manufacturers like ASUS, Dell and MSI for preinstalled laptops and desktops.
This kind of activation is done through the BIOS, the BIOS has a SLIC (Software License Description) table which holds information about the system activation which is compared to the information on the installation media for activation.

Since you have a BIOS from before Windows 7 was released this is a counterfeit installation since the only other way to get this kind of activation is illegal.

Product ID:                00359-OEM-8992687-00258
BIOS Version:              American Megatrends Inc. 0201   , 09-03-2007

Unfortunately, I will not help until your system has a genuine copy of Windows installed.


Rule 4
No piracy or discussion of piracy allowed at all. Such as software, music, videos and other intellectual property violations (e.g. downloading youtube videos locally etc) - it is forum policy that no help shall be given to people who knowingly steal software or services.

One of the main reasons for this is that the act of pirating software will inevitably change the working of software and make investigation and repair impossible. Please install a legitimate copy of the software and if you are still experiencing the issue we will be pleased to assist - No further assistance will be provided until we are satisfied that the software is genuine.

I'm really sorry, this was an old broken win xp PC. Thought of making it new just so installed a temporary win 7 for checking the problems. Thanks for your help tho! Will you help me if I installed a trial version of win 7?

 

[axe0]

I'll help you if you reinstall Windows without an illegal activation

 

[zack61w]

I really appreciate it, I'll install a trail windows 7 and update if any BSOD occurs!

Hey, Fixed the BSOD from occurring. When I was tearing apart the motherboard, I found two pins bent in the CPU socket. Made them straight and haven't got a BSOD so far. I thank you for your time and help

 

[Layback Bear]

Very strange.

I have no idea how all the test you did in Post #1 would of passed with bent cpu socket pins.
