Ever since I got my new pc, which was 3 months ago, I've been getting this message a lot, it occurs randomly, at one point I couldn't even install a pc game so I figured it was a memory problem thus I removed 2 of the memory chips (i have 4 8gb chip). after that the game installed perfectly but once in a while I still get this annoying frking message randomly, and it'll restart my pc... what am i suppose to do?

I run windows 8 pro 64bit 6.2.9200 Build 9200
Intel core i7-3970ghz, 6cores, 12 logical processors overclocked @ around 4100ghz
16gb ram
radeon hd 7970
need more info please ask ;(

thanks for helping!

Stop 0x124 errors are notoriously hard to troubleshoot as they could be anything. It could be memory overheating, a driver, whatever...

First stop overclocking and see if that stabilizes your system.

If not, then try running a full Memtest86 on it to stress the RAM. That would probably be the first place I'd look (http://www.memtest86.com/). Utility is free, so download it and run it.

Also make sure all fans are working. If a fan is dying, then temps will go up and when they reach a certain point, wham, BSOD

Do one at a time of course to isolate issue.

Fish is spot on...unoverclock that CPU...I would have to ask what the point of the overclock is?

Yes, it's nice to have numbers....but do you really need higher numbers to run anything with that CPU?
With your GPU as well you should be running any game over 100fps...which it's doubtful you can see! (note most people can not tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps (as long as there is no jitter))

I had an issue with games randomly crashing on my i7-920 (which I had overclocked) - I unclocked it and my issues went away...and with my nVidia 670 in my rig I really don't notice any frame rate issue ever....you GPU is better in tests than mine, and your CPU is better too! :)
