Hi I got a bunch of the same bsod (0x124) this week, Ive been into different forums and diagnosis,. I'm still in the process of solving the problem. so now I just want to ask if it is possible that the PSU causes a bsod? I mean if the psu is not that powerful would it cause a computer to bsod? I got a GTX 260 and the minimum psu for this one is 500W, I got it working for 4 months without any problem with a 450W.

So as I said I got several bsods this week. but when I disconnect some hardwares like unused DVD rom and two extra fans. It seems that bsod is not occurring anymore. I dont know if what I'm thinking about the situation is correct.

I just need an experts confirmation. thanks for your response!

I forgot what model but its not the one which is branded. thogh in our country it is marked as TRUE RATED they called for a good psu.

and it never happen that the computer shuts down instantly. though sometimes it bsod and sometimes it just hang and all I can do is to restart the computer. the same dmp files are there when it happens.

Wrong, a bad PSU can definitely cause BSODs if the voltage coming out is incorrect, or it's unstable (high DC ripple, etc).
