Constant Crashing Without Warning

[TheStoryteller]

Recently, my computer has been crashing every time I turn it on after 10-15 minutes of use. Usually during video games, but it does it whilst just browsing as well. I recently downloaded Bluescreen View, and the problem has a BBCode of 124. I'm not sure exactly what information is needed from the crash dumps... I believe it has something to do with my GPU, because my display has been shutting off, as if the computer loses connection with it.

The computer also crashes completely random. I don't even get a BSOD, it just instantly restarts, as if it never turned off. I tried turning off the setting that makes it do this, but it didn't work.

This error code indicated that a fatal hardware error has occurred. I have had this error before and the culprit was faulty ram. Try using another stick of ram if you have one, or if you have multiple sticks of ram, try one at a time and see which ones cause the error. This error can be caused by any hardware in the computer.

It can mean you're overclocking too the CPU maybe overheating, faulty, or a core on the CPU is faulty. Or a buggy BIOS

Update the BIOS in the BIOS NOT windows. Sometimes this fixes it

Due to the conditions of the crashing, I believe it is something to do with my GPU. As of late, my display would crash, and a message would pop up saying that "kernal display driver has crashed and recovered" or something like that. This is over a month after that problem, but I really think it has something to do with it. If there's something wrong with my display, is there any way to fix it? I don't have the option of testing my GPU on another computer, or anything like that.

Sorry for the late reply.

The error you described seems to indicate corrupt drivers. You can try re-installing the drivers for your card. Be sure to get the correct version for your os. If new drivers have no effect, try re seating the card. Sometimes the card might have a bad connection to the motherboard.

I this error is also very common if you overclock the card too much. If you've overclocked the card, try returning it to the stock speeds. If that doesn't work, under clocking the card might help.

If new drivers, re seating, and under clocking don't work, the card might faulty.

Try to rma the card.

If the card's warranty has expired, and/or you don't have the patience to rma, an absolute last resort would be the "oven fix". I do not recommend that you try this without looking at absolutely "all" other possibilities. A card usually does not need this fix unless you are seeing massive amounts of artifacts on the screen, but if you are left with no other options, it might be worth a try. Google "gpu oven trick" if you have to resort to this.

I haven't overclocked anything in my computer. I've also had the GPU in the machine for 6+ months without issue up until recently. I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers for the GPU, and the problem persists.

Have you tried the card in another computer? If that doesn't solve the problem, i would just try to rma the card.

I don't have that kind of access.

I've checked within the BIOS, and it appears that my voltages are correct, and HWMonitor is wrong.

I cannot update my BIOS via the BIOS menu, as I updated through Windows before posting, and the program doesn't allow me to refresh and re-install them.

I have not yet stress tested the CPU, so I'm not sure if that is the problem. However, on a few occasions, rather than just crashing and restarting, my computer has simply turned off the display. My monitor will go to sleep, and the only way to get it back on is by restarting my computer. Does this symbolize a serious malfunction within my GPU?

Try this, it might work.
First of all you need to TOTALLY remove all the old drivers. Use this link.
http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/
Note:
Select the respective company(i.e Nvidia or ATI) drivers to be uninstalled.
Use clean and restart option.
And then install the new drivers after rebooting.

As of 30 minutes ago, my computer crashes before giving me the option to log in. So, I'm giving it some time, and hopefully I'll be able to get back into the computer.
