Hi!

I've had problems with bsod 0x4 for some while now. I've scanned for rootkits, found some casued by Avast so i swapped to AVG freeanitvirus, whick only helped me for a month. I also reinstalled windows. From my experience i get bsod when i watch streams but its still very random when its occurs.

I've attached a SF Diagnostic zip.

That is a hardware error, and the error is associated with the PCIe port to which the GPU is connected.

I dont think that your laptop, Asus K52JT has multiple PCIe ports to attach the GPU elsewhere.

So first do two tests.
First, try another AC adapter, provided the BSOD is occurring with plug on.
Second, Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

If nothing is found, straight go to an ASUS repair shop, and not elsewhere (hope the warranty is over, as 3 years is about to pass; if it is not over, you are extremely lucky for this issue). Because, the PCIe port error means a motherboard issue; and usually laptops use OEM license, which is tagged with the motherboard. So best let ASUS deal with the issue.

So, i havet had time to Switch my AC adapter yet, but I ran FurMark stress test and it appears that I have got some artifacts, for short period of time which disappears almost immediatly, during the test. Does it that mean the problems are caused by my graphic card?

Artifacts are not good, for sure. But that is not enough for a stop 0x124. What happened during the test? Did it crash? What was the temps during the test?

That means the GPU is not the problem.

If the same BSODs recurs, the way would be to change the motherboard, but from ASUS's place only,not elsewhere.

Can you update the display driver? It is too old.
