FYI, I just built this PC not long ago and it was the first time I ever put a PC together.


I keep getting this a lot. I have a drop box with all my dmp files I've gotten. The 21996 file is the most recent. Please help me I'm tired of this happening to me I'll love you guys forever and ever. Please and thank you.

Solution
generally a bugcheck 124 will not be caused by ram, it will not be caused by any driver, it can be indirectly caused by a overclocking driver driver sets incorrect voltage and clock frequency to the CPU. What you have to do is remove the overclocking driver, reset the BIOS to defaults or update the BIOS and start testing your hardware.
Things in hardware that can cause bugcheck 0x124 Bad BIOS settings, voltages and clock frequenies, over heated CPU, over heated power supply, over heated GPU. Power fluctuations to the CPU.

if you changed the video card, check the power connections and make sure the PSU provides proper power.

for a system with a up time of over 2 hours, it will tend to be overheating or bad overclocking driver...
BCCode 124 is mainly caused by defective hardware or bad driver.

Test your RAM, RAM - Test with Memtest86+- http://www.memtest.org/

I also see a kernel error in there, try to run a repair using your Win7 Install disk.


Insert the installation disc.
Restart your computer. ...
If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc. ...
Choose your language settings, and then click Next.
Click Repair your computer.
Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
 
Okay, So I tried to repair Windows with the same exact CD I used to install it and I this happened. Idk why it says it's no compatible because it's the same CD I used to Install it.https://www.dropbox.com/s/fhut4kcidqpcvyi/IMG_6020%5B1%5D.JPG?dl=0
 
That error shows because you have a version of Windows 7 on your machine that is not compatible with the Disk you are using. i.e. you have Windows 7 pro installed but using a Windows 7 ultimate disk. Also, if you are using what are known as and all in one disk ( has every version of Windws 7 ) that will not work either..... you need either a windows 7 repair disk or the disk for the version of windows you are running.
 


I'm using the exact same disk that I used to install Windows on my PC
 
you have a overclocking driver so it has to be considered as the most probable cause of bughcek 0x124
Gigabyte Easy Saver - mobo power utility driver
\C:\Windows\gdrv.sys Wed Jul 03 21:27:55 2013
you have a i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz
which came out in june of 2014 and the overclocking driver is most likely applying too high of a voltage to the CPU for the clock rate, this caused the CPU to have probems and it called the bugcheck. (2013 overclocking driver for a 2014 low voltage processor is not a good idea)

most other issues with this machine will be secondary to the problem caused by this driver.
Note: bugcheck 0x124 with parameter 1=0 means the CPU called the bugcheck not windows.
------------


you have a bunch of questionable drivers but the Bugcheck was called by the CPU because of a unknown error on core 2
Error Type : Micro-Architectural Error

the system uptime was 13 hour 20 mins, generally this could be a heating related bug. Check all the fans and make sure your CPU, GPU and PSU are not overheating. But you have a overclocking driver so it has to be considered as the most probable cause of bughcek 0x124

some hacked versions of window put up bugcheck 0x124 in certain cases.

stopped looking at the other problems after finding Gigabyte Easy Saver installed.
remove it and see if you still have problems.

 



Okay so what do you recommend me do? I haven't done anything to my CPU to make it overclock or not. Atleast I don't think. I also have a master cooler on my cpu just to make sure it doesnt over heat. Is there a way to make it not crash from my apple charger or from my Elgato? I don't want to overclock because I don't think I need it. So if my dmp files show that I was overclocking could you help me make it stop?
 
Just remove the overclocking software. It can dynamically change voltages to the CPU and you would never know. Also the version you have would have the incorrect voltage settings. Remove it and see if your problems still occur.

You can update the two USB charging drivers but find out if you should have two installed. Most of the time people just have one charging driver installed. Better to put you apple products on their own charger than to corrupt data in memory with buggy/old USB charging drivers. Just check for updated versions if you actually use them to charge apple products.

Again the bugcheck would not be caused by any driver but may be caused by the incorrect voltage and clock frequency the driver sets for the CPU.



 
So I removed one of my 8GB of RAM and I didn't get the error for 3 days until just now... What does it say?

BugCheck 124 called by the CPU (some type of error on core 2 cache memory bank 1)

Error Type : Micro-Architectural Error
Severity : Fatal
Error : Internal unclassified (Proc 2 Bank 1)

still looks like you have overclocking drivers installed, along with some suspect third party drivers.



 
I removed it I thought. It's a Gigabyte Motherboard and intel i7. Ill removed the entire thing this time. How do I fix the 3rd party drivers? They are things I use Daily



 
Actually I don't know what to remove. I removed EasyTune. Which is what I thought the overclocking feature was. I don't want to remove something I need. Could you point me in the right direction please?

Okay I'll try resetting my BIOS or updating it. I don't think it's the overheating because; 1. Sometime's I get the 124 bug really soon after starting my PC, and 2. I have a Hyper Series Cooler Master. After I reset/update BIOS, and if I have any troubles i'll post in this again. Thank you so much for all of your help!



 
Okay so I got two errors today. The first one was a 116 and then 2 hours later I got a 124... Here are the dumpfiles
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zd6h737s2r108z0/AAC2WwrmyVbx3UlouiW-u1PXa?dl=0





 
looked at the 116 bugcheck, the video graphics driver failed to respond
still see the same problems as before, bunch of suspect drivers still installed.

you really need to remove your overclocking driver as a likely suspect for your 0x116 and bucheck 0x124 bugchecks

you should update your
Killer e2200 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
\SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\e22w7x64.sys Wed Mar 20 14:35:41 2013
it just has too many known bugs and tends to break virus scanners and streaming.
go here and pick up the drivers:http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4953#dl
get all of the current one if you have not already.

you might even look here for the killer driver:http://www.killernetworking.com/support/driver-downloads

I guess I dont know how to remove the overclocking driver. I thought I took it off. I will download all updates and then we will see what happens from there. Thanks for everything!
