I am not at home, with the ability to read your entire mini dmp. This is the information that you will be given regarding BC 124

http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lockup-debug-how/35349-stop-0x124-what-means-what-try.html

124 is a vague BC and can have many causes. Read the link that I left and you should be able to solve the problem.

 

[Element]

Start with Ram, go down to one stick and test. If you still get BSoD swap ram stick and test again. As Rich said 0124's are general hardware faults, they can be tiresome to figure out but not impossible. Depending on the age of your laptop it could be covered under warranty, see if your warranty is still active and then contact the OEM/retailer about servicing the laptop.

i run memtest and no error
my laptop age is only about 6weeks

 

[Tews]

if it is a overclock problem so what must i do?

Go into your BIOS setup ( press DEL or F2 key during boot ) and reset all values to default....

Have you done memtestx86 for at least 7 passes? 7 passes should take at least 9 hours
Please run these free stress tests. CPU & Video stress test
Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS

Prime95 Setup:
- extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
- double click on the executable file
- select "Just stress testing"
- select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead.
- "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.

Try this free video stress test: FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net

FurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"
Click "Go" to start the test
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
- Click "Quit" to exit

Based on what you describe, it's likely that this is heat issue, use speedfan to keep track of your computer temperature: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

your .dmp files won't run in my windows debugger (latest version) ?

Is your install an upgrade from Vista ?

something I did notice in bluescreen view are these old drivers

UPDATE
i think driver is not the main problem because after i uninstall hamachi and daemon tools lite,it doesn't solve the problem and BSOD still come with same error when i play games
I'm very sure overheat is the main problem because the strange sound come only when the GPU temperature is about 96-98 celcius and the BSOD will come.even i play PSX game in Emulator,BSOD still come :shock::shock:

this is my laptop temperature while run FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net and check it using fanspeed program





chart
in the beginning


after about 6-8 minutes



note:my Asus A42JC(I5-430M) laptop have Nvidia optimus feature
(can switch between intel HD 4500 GPU and NVidia 310M GPU)
but the strange one is when i play "legend of the dragoon" in PSX emulator using Intel HD 4500 graphic GPU,it still run good and the GPU temperature still normal and not even hot.but when i run that game with Nvidia 310M GPU(same video setting)
it become very hot as ussual,and the BSOD come as ussual too

every time i run any application or game with Nvidia 310M GPU it become very hot
and about 96-98 celcius the strange sound will come and BSOD will appear but if i run the same program with Intel HD 4500 GPU the temperature is normal and not hot like Nvidia 310M(with the same setting and perfomance),its look like my Fan doesnt work when i use Nvidia 310M GPU.
when i check with Nvidia Inspector
the fan speed is 0% !


i just dont know how to be able change the fan speed setting because it cannot be clicked

and i already update to nvidia latest driver 258.96 and BIOS from 203 to 207

 

[Potipao]

anyone know how to change fan speed on laptop asus a42jc?

 

[Potipao]

anyone can help me?
