Random BSOD BCCode 124

[Bain]

Hey folks, back again sadly. I recently upgraded several components of my system and have had a couple of issues but just woke up to see my PC BSOD. I have attached the memory dump and everything else asked for.

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

[Bain]

I haven't been able to figure anything out about this BSOD on my own. All of my temperatures were within allotted ranges, etc.

 

[Bain]

Still looking for any assistance anyone can offer about this. I'd like to get to the bottom of it.

 

[Bain]

Still looking for any information anyone can provide. I have had a couple of crashes that didn't produce anything while gaming and even just idle.

There seems to be a problem with one of the scheduling mechanisms, since the nVidia graphics card driver seem to be within the call stack, the first point of call would be to test the graphics card for any errors.

Please check for any potential BIOS updates, which usually resolves many hardware problems. Ensure you flash the BIOS with the version specific to your motherboard model and revision number, since you could potentially irreversibility corrupt the BIOS.

Run Furmark for a few hours, do not let the temperature exceed 80*C, please stop the test immediately if this temperature is reached:

Sorry for bumping - my mistake. I have updated the WHQL driver and went from 0402 to 0407 on the BIOS, but I am wary of making a mistake I will regret. I read the updates and one(0407) that claimed to add support for my CPU of all things. I see some stability improvements that I'd like to pick up, but do I have to flash to every version in the order they were released, or can I skip over the ones that don't seem to help me? I've only flashed once before this and It's been a long time so sorry for my incompetence.

The GPU does climb to 80C in Furmark, but I have never seen the temperature go above 55C while gaming. I've had heating issues before so I watch those pretty closely. Thanks for your help, sir!

Edit: Ran Furmark more while manually adjusting the fan speeds. As I suspected the fan wasn't turning itself up fast enough to compensate. It ran at 75C with me manually adjusting the fan speed. Will see if it maintains.

You should be able to skip to the latest BIOS version. Although check the instructions from the vendor. Here's how to flash the BIOS - How to Update Your Computer's BIOS: 8 Steps (with Pictures)

Here's a few threads to put you at ease about it:

• Skipping a bios update? - Yahoo! UK & Ireland Answers
• Can I skip BIOS prior updates and go straight to the latest version? - Desktop General Hardware Forum - Desktop - Dell Community

Please post back when Furmark has complete.

I have updated to the latest bios version(also did a clean driver installation). The card passed the Furmark test without passing 75C(which still seems hot to me, but I'm not sure what to expect in that realm). However, I have had another instance of a similar recurring problem where my sound will pause, mouse will freeze, etc and nothing will happen like my computer is about to lock up(never happens, but it renders it useless until reboot). Temperatures are always OK, cpu/memory usage is fine, etc

Is it safe to say my problem is related to my mobo?

Have you had any more BSODs?

Please boot into the BIOS, and then post the voltages for the 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails.

Have you tried placing the graphics card in a different PCI/PCIe slot?
