I'm getting a BSOD randomly after playing a game. Different error each time (i.e. 0x124, 0x7, dxgmms1.sys, 0x1 Bad Pool Header, 0x19 Bad Pool Header etc.)
What I've tried so far:

- Memtest: I ran it for 10h - no errors found
- HD Tune pro/Crystal Disk Mark: no errors found on my harddrive
- Furmark: no errors found on my GPU
- I reformated my computer: after the format I installed my GPU drivers and one network adapter driver. Nothing else. Same problem.
- I tried driver sweeper and reinstalling said drivers - same problem
- I then ran Prime95+: I ran it for an hour (during which time no errors were detected). Then I got the BSOD. I don't know whether there is a correlation since I'm getting BSOD randomly with or without running Prime95. The heat of my CPU never exceeded 66°C during the test.
- I also tested my current graph card on a different computer and it worked fine.
- I tested an AMD Raeden graphic card on my computer after doing a complete driver sweep. I still got the same BSOD error 0x124.

My comp specs:
Windows 7 x64
Intel Core i5 3470@3,20 GZ
Mainboard MSI B75A-G41 Ivybridge
Nvidia Gfeorce GTX 680
12GB Ram
PSU: 650V

I read many threads here about said problem but none of the solutions helped me identify the problem.

Thank you in advance for the help.

Solution
you will want to blow out any dust from your cpu, gpu and power supply fans. (overheating)
you will also want to monitor your power supply voltages.
(make sure all the fans are spinning up)

if you get the machine stable, you will want to fix your windows build by installing the motherboard vendors motherboard drivers. (you have very old generic versions installed (network driver from 2010 for example)

note: old versions of windows do not set the new network driver as the current default version.
you have to manually select it. (and the old version does not show the driver date so people select the wrong one.)

0x124 = WHEA error. WHEA = Windows Hardware error Architecture, its an error called by the CPU but not necessarily caused by it

Can be caused by overclocking software.
remove MSI Afterburner if installed

Bug Check 0x7: INVALID_SOFTWARE_INTERRUPT
The INVALID_SOFTWARE_INTERRUPT bug check has a value of 0x00000007.

This bug check appears very infrequently.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/ff559247(v=vs.94)

thats a new one on me, but you may have code wrong...

dxgmms1.sys = Direct X. This is likely caused by your GPU drivers. most of the errors code be just drivers (even the WHEA)

How many BSOD since fresh install?
Can you follow option one here
and then do this step below: Small memory dumps - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD

that creates a file in c windows/minidump after the next BSOD
copy that file to documents
upload the copy from documents to a cloud server and share the link here and someone with right software to read them will help you fix it :)

which version of windows are you running?

I'm using Windows 7 x64.
I uploaded the mnidump error file.
I started getting the error after a few hours, especially after launching a game. So far I've had 5 BSOD after reboot, most of them have the same 0x124 error. Before the reformat, the error occured after 5 min of rebooting computer so it was impossible to even use the comp in general.

your system did not seem to have a overclock driver, I would suspect the power supply problem or a heat problem.
