Solved BSOD Shortly After Start Up error:0x00000124

[Netbrutality]

Hi everyone, I am going to just try to put down as much info as I can, but this morning my computer started getting the BSOD a minute or two after start-up. I can get it to run in safe mode with networking (as long as I want), but that is it. This is a newer build, I finished it right at the beginning of June and haven't had any problems until today. Nothing is overclocked and I haven't changed any of the hardware since I closed the case up. Since it's Summer all I've really done is watch Netflix and play a modded out Fallout 4 since I completed this build. The case is huge and I am certain that nothing is overheating. I took pictures of the BSOD(Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet) and the Blue Screen Viewer report(Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet). Thank you all so much!

So far I have tried:

• Memory test
• Disk check
• Virus Scan
• Disk Clean-up
• Updating Bios
• Checking integrity of windows
• Stressing CPU, FPU, cache, and system memory
• Drinking multiple IPAs
• Disabling programs that start on launch

Hi Netbrutality,

You say this build is a new one, but how come the installation date is at least a year ago?

Original Install Date:     23-Feb-15, 5:31:02 PM

With a new build it is normal to start over with a clean installation when you want to use a hard drive that you already were using.

I didn't realize I had to reinstall windows. However, I found the problem yesterday, it was the bloatware from Gigabyte. I did a clean boot and unistalled that stuff and now no more problems. Also, does a clean install mean that all of the stuff on by hard drive is deleted?

Yes, with a clean install you delete every partition that is present on the hard drive.

When you want to re-use a hard drive it is best to reinstall everything, with the previous installation there are stuff like drivers that are not meant for the new system, by not reinstalling you may get trouble with those stuff.
