BSOD While playing games x124

[Cruze]

Hey for the last few months I have been having this BSOD x124 and have tried everything to fix it I have replaced the powersupply, taken out gpu/ram individually, replaced mobo, temps are fine, ran memtest no errors nothing is working. At this point I am 90% sure its the CPU i just dont want to spend $300+ until im sure of it. Also the mobo i had before this new one had 6 bent pins where the CPU goes (im not the one that installed the CPU) so after figuring that out i thought the new mobo would be the fix but it didnt fix it. Could the bent pins on the old mobo have caused the CPU to have problems?

Edit: I forgot to mention something I had my CPU overclocked to 4.4ghz and got the BSOD x124 screen. But ever sense I reset it to normal clock in BIOS I dont see the bluescreen often at all instead the PC will just lock up and I will have to hold the power button for 5 seconds or the screen will just go black for 2 seconds and the PC will just restart.

Hi Cruze.

In your event log there is an entry saying that the your CPU is having heat issues..

So please open up the case and check the cooler if it is placed in the right way, also check the thermal paste!

And there is also a BIOS update but we will leave that as a last step!

Cheers! Boris

Well when I had the new mobo installed about a month ago there was new thermal paste and everything. And when I have RealTemp open the temps look fine while playing games.

Hi Cruze,

well then go ahead and do the BIOS update, not that I'm positive that it will 100% solve the issue but it's worth a try.
MSI Global

Im almost positive it couldn't be BIOS only because it happend with the old mobo and this new one got installed like 3-4 weeks ago. I doubt there is even a update.

Please verify all MSI software has been removed.

A read error on the level 0 cache of the CPU, consistent on every dump I have checked.
Although this might be incorrect as the CPU is reporting the error with 0x124 crashes, I would still suggest to test your CPU.
Persistent crashes usually give a good indication of what the root cause might be.

Diagnostic Test

 CPU TEST

Run Prime95 and IntelBurnTest to stress test your CPU. Prime95 - Stress Test Your CPU - Windows 7 Forums & http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/220743-cpu-stress-test-using-intelburntest.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.

Ya i totally forgot to mention that i already ran Prime95 and IntelBurn and was only able to reach high on IntelBurn and the PC would crash after a few minutes. Also the temps were around 75-90 Celcius which people told me they should be alot lower with the cooler I have. But when im just playing games the Temps are fine and never go above 60.

 

[axe0]

What cooling system and CPU cooler do you have?
Also please add your PSU in your system specs.

 

[Cruze]

Ok i updated my psu on system specs. And I have a Corsair H90.

 

[axe0]

To answer this question, yes it could, please check your CPU for any damage.

Could the bent pins on the old mobo have caused the CPU to have problems?

 

[Cruze]

Well to be honest idk how to take out the CPU im a bit of a noob in that sense. I paid a computer place to install the new mobo for me. He only showed me the bent pins on the old mobo but didnt say anything looked damaged on the CPU is there any way we can make that a last resort? I just wanna make sure its not something easy to fix voltage wise or anything like that.

 

[axe0]

We can make everything a last resort, but it would not be smart to skip something for now, it looks like to be a possibility and find out that that is the cause at the end of several troubleshooting pages (30-40?) later when everything has been done would be a waste of time.
0x124 crashes are 1 of the worst crashes to troubleshoot as it usually doesn't reveal much but the problem (not the cause), unless there is somewhere a trace or something it is a lot of troubleshooting and a trace we might have now.

I would say to immediately check the CPU and completely rule it out with garantee it is fine than the opposite.

 

[Cruze]

So your saying to check the CPU for damage before we move on?

 

[axe0]

Such as checking the CPU for bent or borked pins for example.

 

[Cruze]

Ok im not to sure on how to take it out. Ill just pay someone to do it for me i guess.

 

[axe0]

Who has replaced all the other components of your system?

 

[Cruze]

I put in my new PSU. I feel comfortable putting in GPU, Ram and the PSU but I never did anything with a motherboard or CPU so I paid a computer place to do it.

 

[axe0]

It shouldn't be much more difficult then everything else, depending on where it is in the case of course.

I post a video, because that might explain more then I can with words

(not sure why I can't insert a video directly, so changed it to a link)

 

[Cruze]

Ok ill give it a look in the morning im off to bed.

 

[Cruze]

Ok I took it out and It didn't looked damaged.
