Seemingly Random BSOD's.

joshreddevil · May 27, 2015

I've been having this problem for about a month now but haven't really had time to address it. New build PC. Having seemingly random BSOD's sometimes multiple times a day. No particular pattern but tends to happen most often when the computer is sitting idle. If it is playing a movie it tends to happen a lot as well. Has happened while playing games before but not regularly. Done several passes on memtest etc and have determined that the RAM and the Drives are error free. I haven't done any overclocking as the system is not stable yet. Cooling's not an issue if that helps; under load never see temps above high 30's.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
CPU: Intel i5 4690k
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5
GPU: Palit Nvidia GeForce GTx 970 JetStream
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz
Power: Corsair CXM 750W Modular
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB
HDD: WD 1TB Black
Case: NZXT Phantom 530
TP-Link 300Mbps Wireless N PCIe Adapter

Finally managed to catch a bsod on cam not sure if that helps at all.
Technical Info:
STOP: 0X00000124 (0X0000000000000000, 0XFFFFFA8009B2028. 0X00000000BF800000. 0X0000000000200401)

According to Bluescreenview. They are mostly being caused by driver hal.dll hal.dll+12a3b. Don't know if that means anything to anyone. Any ideas where I should look next.

Recently started removing components to try and narow down the problem. Removed my TP-LINK TL-WN881ND wireless adapter and 24 hours later no bsod but not convinced its fixed yet. I'll update this if it blue screens again.

your bugcheck is 0x124 with parm 1=0 which indicates that the bugcheck was called by the CPU.

-the only normal drivers that would cause this would be overclocking drivers for the CPU or GPU.

this is a normal overclocking type failure. IE look for power issues, heating issues (fans not working)

generally, if this happens while playing games, look to confirm that you do not have GPU overclocking and your GPU is getting proper power and is not overheating. (check the power connections from the PSU to the GPU, blow dust out of fans)

if you look at the memory dump, look at the system up time, generally if it is less than 15 seconds it indicates that your system rebooted. if it is over 15 mins look for a overheating problem.

Haven't done any overclocking but I think my GPU might come stock overclocked I'll have to check that. All my fans appear to be working and As the BSOD's still happen when it is running without it I doubt that is the problem. These overclocking drivers Where would I look for them are they provided by my Mobo and since as far as I can tell all drivers are up to date would I have to roll them back?

So it turns out it was an operating system issue in the end. Never did find out what was the problem but when I upgraded to Windows 10 the bsod's mysteriously stopped. I've decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Although I will say it is very strange as I did at least two OS reinstalls to try and fix the problem previously.
