Both of your dumps are 0x124s, these indicate a hardware error most of the time but, as is the case here, they rarely point towards which piece of hardware is failing. In this case please follow the stress and diagnostic tests listed below to try and uncover which piece of hardware is problematic.
Code:
WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error
source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the
WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error conditon.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, Machine Check Exception
Arg2: fffffa800a2f8028, Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.
Arg3: 00000000ff800000, High order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
Arg4: 0000000000000124, Low order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.

STOP 0x124 Troubleshooting

Read carefully before proceeding.



   Warning
:warn: If you're overclocking your system, revert back to stock clocks now. :warn:

   Note
Test the system once the overclock is removed before continuing with the steps outlined below.


Part One: CPU Stress Test
Part Two: MemTest86+ RAM Diagnostic
Part Three: Hard Drive Diagnostics
Part Four: GPU Stress Test




ONE

 CPU TEST


:ar: Run Prime95 to stress test your CPU. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100352-hardware-stress-test-prime95.html

   Warning
Your CPU temperatures will rise quickly while under this stress test. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.





TWO

 RAM TEST


:ar: Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

   Note
picture.php


MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.





THREE

 HDD TEST


:ar: Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/313457-seatools-dos-windows-how-use.html

   Note
Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.


:ar: Run chkdsk http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html




FOUR

 GPU TEST


:ar: Run Furmark to stress test your GPU. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100356-video-card-stress-test-furmark.html

   Note
Run Furmark for around 30 minutes.
   Warning
Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.

Hi, I did the tests, and nothing abnormal came back! What i did notice, is that when i went into bios and set the processor clock to default, that seemed to have fixed the BSOD so far. I don't know if it's related or not but i will watch the Over Clocking maybe?
Thanks for your help, kind regards Adrian.
