Solved BugCheckCode 126 while browsing.

[Jocarrian]

I just got a BSOD while watching a film on youtube while listening to Spotify. This has happened before but I hoped that it would only be a one time thing. Here is the information. The recents changes that I've made to the computer is installing Diablo 3, been playing some PS4 om my 2nd screen and I also switched the electricity sockets where I plug all the power cords in.


Thanks in Advance,
Joachim

Well, there are two crash dumps in the the uploaded zip, none of them are reporting a stop 0x126.

The first one is a stop 0x7E.

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.
If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

BTW, a stop 0x126 is a network related issue, and your network driver is too old.

Update it. Download and install
Win7 and Server 2008 R2 Auto Installation Program (the second one from the list) from Realtek

Let us know the results.

Okey, I've done all that you've instructed me to do. The things I have left to do is the memtest which i will do overnight like you said. But the furmark, should I do it straight away or?

And btw, I didn't have to do some DDU on my last network driver right? I could choose between repair or delete when i ran the program. And I choose repair as it said it would reinstall the drivers with the new ones. Was that correct?

 

[Arc]

No, dont need to do a DDU on the network driver. Open the downloaded zip, there is some pictures in a folder to guide you how to update the driver properly. If you have done something else, do it.

For furmark, run it as any other installed program.

Let us know the results of Furmark and memtest86+, when done.

 

[Jocarrian]

Okey, I see that Furmark has a a lot of different options that you can choose. Should i set the resolution to my current and then do the "burn-in test"?

I also looked at the pictures and they said that you should choose repair, so I got that going for me haha

 

[Arc]

Well done on the installation of the network driver.

For furmark, you may use any preset, or you may set your screen resolution and then run the test.

 

[Jocarrian]

Okey, I ran the furmark. It ranged between 45 degrees to 67. It was mostly steady on 66. I haven't done the memtest yet though but I will prob do it tonight.
