Hi all,

At the beginning of the year i built my second ever custom PC that was to be used for light gaming as well as the usual tasks. For a while now whenever i do something remotely graphically intensive such as gaming after a little while i get a BSOD/STOP error of 0x124

My System Spec:
CPU: Intel i5-4670k @ 3.40GHz (Not overclocked, at least i have not changed any bios settings)
Motherboard: Asus Z87-PLUS
Power Supply: Corsair CX750M
RAM: G-Skill DDR3 2400 8GB
Cooler: Antec 900 Self contained Liquid/Radiator
Graphics Card: Geforce GTX (Gigabyte) 770 4GB
Hard Disks: 240GB Samsung SSD + 2 HDD's totaling 3GB
OS: Windows 7 x64

I have been reading about these 0x124 stop errors and it seems to be a fatal hardware issue, So i have been monitoring my temperatures and the CPU's idle between 25c-33c and the GPU idles at 30c. Both max out at around 66C when gaming or stress testing. So im not convinced its purely a overheating issue. I have run the Prime95/Memtest applications and had no issues/passed.

Any help would be grately appreciated.

These are the minidump files from Whocrashed for today's two crashes:

Was just looking through my bios, I think the turbo settings were turned on and each core voltage was set at 42 41 40 40 respectively giving a target mhz of 4200mhz. Does this mean it was running an overclock all this time? I thought those were the default settings, I have turned everything off/auto in the bios and its now running at 3400mhz which is what i THOUGHT it was all this time. Im going to run various tests and games now to see if i still get the BSOD but is this likely to have been the error a target MHZ of 4200 with stock voltages?
