BSOD unable to find a solution.. need detailed help!

[Heaty]

I do apologize for the duplicate post i didnt realize there was a specific place to post a thread asking for BSOD help..

So I built my first PC yesterday and installed windows and updated all the drives via the website latest drives..
firstly i got a BSOD when playing a game..
after some looking someone said to update my BIOS.. so i did that..
still no luck!
Then someone said it was probably the graphics card..
so i uninstalled/re-installed the drivers for it no luck. even moved it down a slot on the mobo.. no luck!

This morning i re-installed windows 7 and updated all the drivers with the CD given with the gpu and the motherboard.. and now the BSOD is occuring a lot more. i did notice that there were two drives in the device manager that could not find any updates and i did not know where to look so maybe it could be those?
I looked in the minidump and nothing new has popped up in there but i still have the dumpfiles from before i reinstalled windows 7 and i think it is the same error code.

i was most recently told it could be a faulty installation and after reinstalling and updating via the cds i left it for aroun 45minutes so i could post for help/get lunch and i came back to a black screen saying i needed to insert the installation disc which i then did but on restarts it would not load the install disc.

so i disconnected the ssd and the hdd and that got the disc to boot up and its on the install page (replugged ssd and hdd) i clicked on the entire new windows 7 but for the deciding where to pick the install only the SSD would show up.. so ive deleted its contents and formatted it AGAIN

windows 7 is currently installing again..
i really do not have any idea what to do...

i have attached the minidump files but this was from the bsod on my first install. the codes that i keep getting are all the same tho..

i am pretty much a noob as its my first built, would really appreciate some help

Well, your issue is a hardware issue. But which part of the hardware is failing there is hard to determine. It is not available from the dump data. As you are asking for detail, let us try.

It is a stop 0x124 BSOD, attributed to hardware error.

So, we have to search for the reason of the BSOD in our hardware. Let us start testing?

Are you overclocking?

CPUID:        "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz"
MaxSpeed:     3500
CurrentSpeed: 3510

As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings. Also set the BIOS to default, too.

Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

Stress test the CPU.
Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy.

Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.

At least 30% extra is safe.

Do some Disc checks.

1. Update your Samsung 840 Series SSD's Firmware
2. Re-seat the sata and power.
   
   
3. Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check
4. Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download
   Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.
   (3 and 4 are for the 1TB seagate only)

Let us know the results.

Thankyou for replying ive been trying to sort it out all day! i did get a bluescreen analyzer thingy and it had highlighted hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe with pink and have been looking for a way to fix these two things! i will go and run the tests now, but i could not find the SSD firmware anywhere.. i have new dumpfiles would that help at all?

 

[Arc]

For the firmware, look at Support - Solid State Drives MZ-7PC256N | Samsung Memory & Storage

Let us know when all are done.
