Solved Random BSoD BCC 124

[eutherin]

I'm about at wit's end with this garbage computer. :/ its a recent build, was running like a dream for about a week or two and now it wont stop BSoDing.
It runs fine in safe mode, i ran chkdsk and the windows memtest, all ok.
I ran the asus system repair tools, it passed all of those tests.
I even wiped it to see if maybe it was a driver issue, but when I reinstalled everything it continues to BSoD.
Machine specs:
SAPPHIRE 100354OC-2L Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z87 mobo
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850M 850W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 PSU
Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL
NZXT Kraken X40 RL-KRX40-01 140mm cpu cooler
the cpu stays around 30-40degrees celsius.
Diagnostic info is currently attached.
Please. If anyone can help me it will be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Install Service pack 1 and all other windows updates. Otherwise the system will remain vulnerable to threats.

unfortunately I can't install using the cWindows update tool because any install crashes my pc :-(
I haven't overclocked anything in my machine, I'm pretty happy with leaving it stock.
that error report mentions an intel file, is that a bad driver or is it from a bad part?

Was that in addition to the memtest and prime/etc tests?

 

[Arc]

Do it first, as the service pack is must be there.

If still the same 0x124 BSOD occurs, we would take the hardware tests.

I dont have a lan connection, should i install the lan drivers off my motherboard install disk?

edit 1: did that and got a bsod before updates finished noticed some non defaults in my cmos so I told it to reset. trying update again
I'll post if that fails again

edit 2:
got a few error codes with update but they were easily fixed, I'm currently at SP1 should I install my water cooler software and the catalyst center for my video card?

 

[Arc]

Install all the other drivers, the display driver too, but try to keep away from CCC itself. Its often problematic.

If the BSODs continue, post following the BSOD posting instructions.

 

[eutherin]

hm. it installed when I was installing.drivers. should I uninstall it? thank you so much again for the help! is there anything I can do to help give back to the site?

 

[Arc]

Apparently not.... but if your issue is solved at any time, mark this thread as solved, which will help us to index threads properly and efficiently

Now observe how the computer is running. If it is causing any more issue, let us know.

 

[eutherin]

Ok, thanks. Can/will do! Thank you so much again.

 

[Arc]

I think you should have waited a few more days before marking it as solved.

Anyway, if it starts BSODing again, unmark it and continue

 

[eutherin]

Ah, sorry. Ill try to remember to post back in a week and let you know its still working good. (Or re-open it before then if it isnt)
On the upper note, i think it's running better than before it started BSoD'ing.
