I'm not quite sure if it's the overclocking that's the problem. I'm using the built in overclocker that came with my motherboard. I remember I thought it was an overclocking problem before and I turned it off for a while. I believe I got less BSOD's, but I think it still happened once in a while.I turned it back on, it's back, and I'm not sure what it is anymore.

Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming LGA 1150
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell Quad-Core 3.4GHz LGA 1150
RAM: G.SKILL Sniper Low Voltage Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
PSU: SeaSonic M12II 750

Any other info you guys need, let me know.

Umm. turn it back off. If the problem clears up then it was the overclock.

Yep, what PopaTim says, start by disabling the OC Genie function, you can set your ram with XMP if you'd like at this point but you'll want to ensure everything is stable before overclocking. We can get you through manual settings* for overclocks later (once you're sure your system is stable to begin with)

*manual setting are usually quite a bit better for the system than generic "this should work" settings

You mean when the computer is off the problem goes away? Lol

Never trust auto over clocking tools,even ones built into the bios. Take the time to learn your CPU and motherboard for a truly stable overclock and you're gaurenteed to learn a bit in the process.

Lol, no I meant turning off the overclock. I turned it off a couple months ago, but I do think that I still got BSOD although much less frequent. I'll turn it off again guys, and check back soon.

If its 0x124 then it can be related to OC'ing
