Random BSODs - Help Required with dump Files

[CloudShadow]

I reinstalled windows, and everything was fine for a day and a half, and just now i got the same hardware error BSOD.

I really dont understand what could be wrong. Can there be a problem with my harddrive? or Power Supply?

 

[richc46]

As I mentioned the new install probably would not work. Its hardware
Boot the computer tell me about the beeps.
One beep
one long one short
two short etc

 

[CloudShadow]

I dont hear any beeps.

 

[richc46]

If a new install did not work, its hardware. Lets start with step one. Do it slowly and carefully.
Be sure you are not over heating
Make sure that the PSU is sufficient
Memory is a big cause, be sure that it was done correctly

I cant help more than this, everything is in the link that I gave you.
I can answer questions.

 

[CloudShadow]

Sorry to disturb you mate, but can you look at these two dumps and confirm if they have the same error.

Also, is there no other information in the dump files?

UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f)
This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
is always instant death (double fault).  The first number in the
bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
If kv shows a taskGate
        use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
Else if kv shows a trapframe
        use .trap on that value
Else
        .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
        (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)
Endif
kb will then show the corrected stack.

You have given me two reports. The first was the old 124 with the same information.The second was BC 7F. I have given you the causes for 7F , above
Again, memory comes up. Bios, also, comes up. This is something that should be handled by a professional. A little mistake when working on the Bios can make your computer an expensive paper weight. Mother Board can also be a cause.

 

[CloudShadow]

hm... the second one was the most recent one, i guess i'll try a BIOS upgrade. I already did it once, everything went fine then, the same should be the case now.

thanks for the constant help mate,

 

[richc46]

I want to help as much as I can, but that 124 is a pain. You know as much as I do on it now. The 124 is the important one as it keeps popping up. We can use the BC codes of 7F etc, to look for hardware that is mentioned.

 

[CloudShadow]

Hi mate, wanted to bump this topic and say that i think i have found the culprit hardware.

its the processor

I searched around a bit on the forum, and saw some people suggesting Prime95 as a CPU stress test. Well i downloaded that, and after 10 seconds of testing my system crashed with the same error.

I rebooted, ran the test again, and the pc crashed once more with the same error


I've attached the dump files for both these crashes. Please advice now.

 

[richc46]

You are correct both reports show a 124, hardware error. You were there, if you feel that the BSOD was caused by the test, then you found the answer. That stress test was mentioned in the Code 124 post that I gave you a the beginning of all this; so its results are considred accurate. If that was indeed the cause you may need a new CPU.
