Intermittent BSOD and Crashing, 0x1000007E, 0x0000001E, 0x00000124,

[Dbad80]

Alright, so this is my first time using the forum. I've come here often to research for solutions to problems, so I appreciate the help you guys provide on this site. Unfortunately, I've come across some issues with my own computer that I haven't been able to solve and am looking for some help if anyone would oblige.

The PC I'm running was built in Christmas of 2014 as a gaming PC. I've had intermittent issues with a mess of BSODs and crashes galore. Most happen when playing games (duh) but often times I also seem to have issues with Firefox, it crashes about every time I use it. I've had my suspicions about my graphics card having an issue but the crashes that happen outside of games have caused me to suspect my motherboard or memory. I have attached my DM Log Collector info with my post. Thanks in advance for the help.

Please note the info in the Log Collector may only go back to May 2015. I attempted a clean install around that time so of course, older Minidumps were lost.

right, the first possibility i would like to investigate is memory, run memtest86+ for around 8 passes
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

 

[Dbad80]

Ok will do, any specific instructions or is it a simple program to use?

here is a tutorial to help you:

Perfect

Alright, I ran Memtest for 8 passes and found zero errors, much to my surprise. I should note that, however, it took over 36 hours to complete 8 passes. Is that normal? I took photos during the process if you need to see what the screen showed.

Aside from that, what would be my next step? Have you had a look at the dump files?

just to be suare, try updating your graphics driver, so we have addressed your earlier suspicions

 

[Dbad80]

I have updated to the latest driver for my graphics card at the present moment. I have also made it a point to always keep my drivers updated for my graphics card since all it requires is a visit to amd. I'm afraid I was wrong in my suspicions of what the problem was, perhaps delving into the crash dumps will clue us

 

[Dbad80]

Had another BSOD today so I am reuploading a New DM Log with the latest minidump.

 

[Hacb]

this one points to directx, try updating those drivers and see if that helps.

 

[Dbad80]

I already seem to have the latest directx according to the microsoft website. WHat did the other dumps point to?
One question, is it possible that I have the wrong kind of memory for my motherboard even though memtest came out fine?

Also, How do I know if I have a big enough power supply for my machine?.

It's of course not your fault, but I'm so annoyed by the intermittent crashing of games and firefox and the occassional blue screen, I'm just not sure what to look for for a fix

 

[Dbad80]

Yet another BSOD today, something about memory management. Just at a loss as to what is causing my issues

 

[Dbad80]

Yet another BSOD, this occured while trying to backup my C Drive

 

[Dbad80]

Is it possible that because my RAM memory isn't an exact match to the QVL list from my MOBO that I'm having consistent crash issues??? What about my SSD? The guy that helped build the computer with me is telling me that it's not a big deal if the RAM isn't on the QVL list but I'm not sure I'm buying that.
