Hey everyone,
I've build a new PC and I'm constantly getting BSoD with ***STOP : 0x0000124
Seeing that there are many ppl who know their way around PCs I tought I will ask you guys for help.

My original PC setup was :

MOBO : ASUS M3N-HD/HDMI
CPU : Phenom 9750
RAM : Kingston 2x2GB DDR2 1066MHz CL7 (ye i know CL7 is a joke, will get CL5/4 if i get the PC to work :x )
GFX : ASUS GeForce 9800GT
HDD : WD Raptor 150 and WD 500, both SATA.

I've put the PC together and installed Windows Vista Home 64bit. Everything seemed to work fine untill I tryed to play some games. Than I get the STOP 0x00000124 error (followed by 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFFA800_____, ___... - the symbols after ...FA800 are always different).

I've already tryed many tests and things to solve this issue, so far no use.
Here is what I've done so far :

- Installed drivers from Asus, Nvidia, Windows update - both old and new. No change.
- Tested RAM, HDDs, cache on mobo, CPU - everything tested by multiple test for several hours, no errors whatsoever. But when i run test under windows and i try to do something (like pulling the window from one place to other) i am very likely to get BSoD when there is test in progress. In DOS, on boot tests, everything runs fine for 10+ hours.
- Exchanged RAM, HDDs, GFX, reinstaled windows.
- Instaled windows XP home 32 bit. Still crashed.
- updated Bios to newest version, tryed few other versions as well. Nothing.
- chcecked 32bit access to HDDs, disabled onboard sound, chcecked and played around with Voltages. No change.
- Temperatures are fine btw.
- Bought new MOBO - ASUS M3N78-EM - nothing changed, still the same BSoD.

I think thats about it, hope i havent forgot anything.

My current suspect is the CPU, but I cant replace it with another atm as i dont have anything that would go into AM2(+) socket and cant spend cash on new one atm when im not sure it will solve the issue.

btw - when i remove GFX card and try to run the PC on the onboard GPU only, the crashes seem to be way way more often, i can crash just after booting and opening single Firefox window or so. (that imho could point to the CPU issue as well as if i understand the matter correctly, it is in use way more when you dont use GFX card.)


I've uploaded the minidumps from windows/minidump directory, they are here :

http://rapidshare.com/files/173535003/Minidump.rar
or
http://files.filefront.com/Minidumprar/;12661287;/

If I've chosen wrong servers to upload, just tell me can reup it elsewhere.
Can also upload the dump file from windows root dir, but its rather large so i tought ill do it on demand if needed.

Thats about it i think - Any ideas or solutions are most welcome, i am trying to sort this out for weeks now and getting clueless

P.S.: My english is far from being perfect, so pls excuse all typos, weird words, grammar etc

Addendum : just remembered one maybe important information : When i updated bios for M3N-HD/HDMI to the newest version, i stopped getting BSoDs - PC just froze instead, requiring hard reset.

i got this off this forum -

Please perform the following steps to resolve the issue:

1. Go to the BIOS by pressing [DEL] during POST.
2. Go to Advanced Chipset Features.
3. Go to CPU Configuration
4. Select C1E Enhanced Halt State and set it to Disabled
5. Press [F10] to save the changes and exit.

so with the default settings your currently using in that new bios this setting is probably enabled at the minute.

Done that, didnt work + afaik C1E is issue with intels + i crash in XP 32bit as well, the nvidia, vista, sound issue was fixed already by forceware 17X.XX iirc.

But thanks anyway :)
