I've been getting blue screens of death every fortnight for months now, so I finally decided to do a clean install of windows 10- and the problem has only gotten worse. I've had 3 bsods in the last 24 hours. The bsod screen says it's a "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" and I understand this is most likely a hardware problem. My PC generally crashes while gaming, but it has happened while browsing the internet or watching youtube videos. BlueScreenView says the bug check code is 0x124, if that helps. Let me know if you need more info.

Edit: Sometimes windows will hang for around 5 seconds then blue screen

If you are positive that your memory has been checked, I'd also check thermals if possible. Maybe something is overheating. The other components seem to be quite reliable, (asus WD Samsung and Gigabyte,) the only other culprit I might suspect COULD be the PSU, but they usually aren't responsible for BSODs.

Error 0x124 usually implies that it's a hardware issue. How old is your computer, how much RAM does it have? The more specs you can provide, the more I can be of service. It's more than likely your RAM that's the problem, given most BSOD's are notoriously ram-oriented.

I've had my PC for almost 3 years now.

Here are my specs:
i7 4770k @ 3.50Ghz
8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 Corsair Vengeance
GTX 770 Windforce 4GB
Maximus VII Ranger Motherboard
Samsung 850 evo 250GB
WD Black 1TB
750W Asaka Venom PSU

I've ran a few windows memory tests before with no negative results, but I'll do another one soon.

I performed another memory test earlier today, windows came back with no errors. It seems that I can leave my PC running for a few hours, come back to it, and the first thing I click on will cause a BSOD. I've put my RAM cards into different slots, I don't know whether that'll change anything, also my temps don't get over 80 c.

Alright, I managed to solve the problem a month after my last comment and so thought I should post the solution.

It turns out my BSODs were indeed down to my CPU overheating, I swapped the stock cooler out for a Cooler Master Hyper 212 and that solved the problem- I haven't had a BSOD since.

Thank you to profoundnoah for his help.
