About a year ago I installed a power color r9 290x in my system and ever since then i have recieved the following blue screens at completely random intervals, bccode 101 bccode 124 (mainly 124) lately ive staretd to get other bccodes but i cant remember what they were at the moment.
Ive tried re installing windows 7, ive tried removing and reinstalling drivers, I have installed new ram, I returned the gpu and they told me there was mothing wrong with it and sent it back to me, ive let my friend take the pc home to try and find the problem as he is more experienced with computers and he cant even find the problem.

Greetings,

You can do the following. Uninstall Your current catalyst driver, use Treexy Driver Fusion and remove the Catalyst residues. Restart Your computer. Install the newest Catalyst.

If the problem remains, please run FurMark, in eXtreme Burn In test mode, and tell me what happens.

thanks

James

And one more thing, just to be sure. Baby is using 1 x 8 pin and 1 x 6 pin. Are they fitting good in both PSU and Graphics card? Also, RM 850 has more 12V PCi-e rails, did You try different combination of rails? Btw. You need to hear "click" both on RM and Your graphics card. Without this click, these issues are common to errupt.

I did both a gpu stress test and a benchmark and it worked fine.

james50cal · Nov 27, 2014

the score on the link was the benchmark with antialiasing on full, fullscreen, 1920 x1080p res

uplink-svk · Nov 27, 2014

FurMark was for stability. Btw. did You try connecting different rails? And did You clean drivers?

james50cal · Nov 27, 2014

I did as you said with the drivers. I haven't tried different rails as when I first got the gpu it was doing the same thing with a different power supply. Im going to test the pc now to see if it still bluescreens with the latest driver. I will let you know what happens.

One more important thingie. Do You have the newest BiOS running on Your motherboard? And are all of the Windows 7 updates up to date?

james50cal · Nov 27, 2014

I know all my windows updates are up to date but I honestly have no idea about the bios on the motherboard, I wouldnt evenm know how to go about finding out.

I always thought the motherboard may cause me problems as it was only £35 new lol

james50cal · Nov 27, 2014

Found this on system information

james50cal · Nov 27, 2014

sorry for all the different replys but do I need BIOS version B14.0926.1

uplink-svk · Nov 27, 2014

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305#bios

Get the F4 version, and update it from fully formated [not quick!, that might cause trouble] FAT 32 [never, ever exFAT, or NTFS!] usb flash disk.

Do not forget that after flash, all of Your settings will be deleted, so You need to pick at least SATA mode for AHCi from iDE/Compatibile, and change boot device order.

james50cal · Nov 27, 2014

I really wish I knew what that ment

Ill have to read up about updating the bios enough to understand what you just told me before even thinking of attempting it.

uplink-svk · Nov 27, 2014

Insert some spare flash disk into Your computer. Format it via Windows with the full format [untick quick] in Windows, and set the filesystem on Your flash disk to FAT32. Download the bios, unpack it. Restart Your computer, and go to the bios. There's some option to update Your bios, Q-Flash as far as I remember. And update it via Q-Flash.

james50cal · Nov 27, 2014

ahh cool, thanks. Ill have a go and let you know what happens.

Thanks for all your help so far

uplink-svk · Nov 27, 2014

No problemo. And one more important thing. Your motherboard suports DualBios, please google out how it works, so You can revert Your failed BiOS update [it won't happen most likely], if it crashed during update.
