Hello!
I finished my first PC build a about 2 months ago,( ive left my pc off for the past 2 weeks) but since i finished it, ive had 3 blue screens of death. Heres the weird part though, the blue screens happened about 2 weeks apart. These are the Bugchecks it gave me the for the last 2 blue screens:

The bugcheck was: 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0xfffffa800d7d3028, 0x00000000b0800000, 0x0000000000040151)

The bugcheck was: 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0xfffffa800d7ba028, 0x00000000b6000000, 0x0000000000100153)

2 of the 3 times its blue screened i did have these same programs open at the time:
Steam, War Thunder ( high settings ), MSI Afterburner, CPUID HWMontitor, Chrome with Youtube playing.

Also the pc has completely powered off, like i flipped the power switch and turned back on. This has happened 2 times too. Completely random.

When i built my pc i not all of my parts were here yet, and i really wanted to build my pc, and i made the stupid move of turning it on and using it when i didnt have the EVO cooler installed. And i do believe thats when the first blue screen happend because of over heating. After it did that first blue screen i left it off and waited for the rest of the parts to come ( the rest of the fans, EVO, and the NZXT sentry ) Since then ive had both the CPUID monitor and mis afterburner open at all times on my second monitor to watch the temps while i use the pc. i dont remember the exact temps when i game but as i write this, the current temp of my pc is: http://imgur.com/Xvwne3o


I did google acceptable temps for everything when i finished the pc and everything was acceptable at the time.

I had a friend help me build this pc, so i dont know exactly if im missing some drivers or what. im new to this so any input is useful at this point.
Heres my specs:

Windows 7
AMD FX-8350 Black 8-core ( with Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO )
Nvidia GTX 960 FTW
HyperX FURY 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 ( on dual channel )
ASUS m5a97 r2.0 motherboard
EVGA SuperNOVA 750w 80+ Gold
Kingston Digital 120GB SSD
WD Blue 1TB SATA
NZXT Sentry 3 5.4-Inch Touch Screen Fan Controller
8 Arctic F12 120mm fans
all installed into a Corsair Vengeance C70 Case.

If you need any more information to help, ill try to provide it.
Thank you for your help!
 
Hm. Using the PC without a cooler is a sure way to burn the CPU, but it isn't something that usually goes out a little bit, rather it fails completely.

Before we go too crazy trying to diagnose, i'd like you to go through all your hardware and update all drivers to the most recent releases. This includes your Flashing your BIOS!
 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EDIT:!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my new and bigger SSD arrived so im going to fresh install my os onto that.

i hate to say it i fell asleep when we were building my pc, it was 3 am and i was tired from working that day 😛, so my friend was up all the rest of the night getting the drivers i needed. so i dont know the ones he downloaded. and he cant remember what he did that night either.

so with my parts list, what drivers, ect do i need to download before i start again? i downloaded most all the ones listed on ASUS site for my mobo, and the driver for my 960. Anything else?
