Okay this BSOD error is driving me up the wall.
It started about a week or two ago, I booted my PC to get a BSOD, error code 124. Didn't think much of it. Then it happened again, but it was spread out. Was once again, really unphased.
However, it has now become consistent where anytime I turn on my PC after it's been turned off (or the one time after I slept it), the BSOD happens. It can happen during the booting (I think around the splash screen for windows), or, after I have logged in (takes about 30-60 secs).
No, I am have not updated the BIOS, and no I don't think it's the issue, because the problem started out of no where, and nothing had been updated. I have since tried to update my GPU drivers to see if that was the cause, to no luck.
Yesterday I tore the case down, gave it a good cleaning (it needed it), changing out the liquid cooling water, reseated my RAM and GPU as well. After the cleaning it booted fine, which I thought it was just dirty and getting warm. But then today, it did it again.
The only thing I can think of is the PSU is the cause. Because, I have been playing with this idea before (sadly the last time I did the machine refused to leave the window's splash screen so I had to restart ... compromising the test).
I can't figure it out, and I am stumped (evne worst I wasn't able to do a start up repair, saying the boot master couldn't be repaired ... despite the OS booting fine).
Specs
I have minidumps for people who care to see them (just let me know how to send them). But the call stack is always the same
