Suspect new HDD causing BSODs, please help?

[bilditup1]

Hey all,
I suspect that a new 2TB HDD (cheap Black Friday Seagate) has been causing me some BSODs over the past month. I have no idea why, and it's driving me nuts.
The stop error code is 0x00000124.
I'm running Win7 Pro x64.
Dumps and reports are attached below.

Thanks,
-e

Thanks for the link yowanvista.
I'm pretty sure that cooling was not at the heart of the problem. I run my CPUs at 100% all the time, as I run a few different BOINC projects, but never get out of range - 43C idle, 53-54 on full load...but I've been doing that for a while. I had been pushing the RAM a bit - something I'd forgotten - so I throttled that back, and hope that'll be the end of it.
