sisnce cleaning out the dust got you playing for a couple days, this screams heat issue.

Heat from CPU or GPU, still undetermined.

Temps do not look too bad. I do notice that the +5v is running at 2.53v. These usually have a +\- 10% range. Could this be a problem.

The voltages 12v, 5v etc I believe are from the Power Supply in your Tower. If this is your problem, at least it is not an expensive nor difficult replacement.
Perhaps some the more experienced Guru's will jump in and advise.

Thanks johnny i was hoping one of the more experienced Guru's would have a look at the dump files to see if i can get a quicker fix,
In the mean time i will remove sound card to see if this affects it in any way

Thanks

Hi Haza.

Your 2 latest dump files have atop error 0x124. Usual causes: Hardware, Incompatibility, May be driver corruption

A stop0x124 means blame the hardware. See: Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

Old or incompatible drivers will not help the issue either so I'll have a look at your latest dump file to see what's in there.

Hi Again.

Looking again, all four dumps show the 0x124 error, and they all show: 0x124_AuthenticAMD_PROCESSOR_BUS_PRV

Going through your latest dump file shows no drivers to really worry about, unless I missed something.

I suggest you do some hardware tests. The links below will give your more info but I think starting with your CPU would be the obvious choice.
