So recently while i was playing my pc restarted itself. After that it continued doing the same but right after windows boots up. I checked the event viewer and found out that it is something about bugcheck 124 (0x124). Sometimes it goes past the windows boot - i can open chrome but that's about it, it restarts again. I managed to get the bugcheck (message after booting windows and event viewer) on a txt and i got the dmp file as well.

Here's the link to them: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rdjp8dv8ohmvke6/AAChuWi7aEhCw0qn5A-uzsCSa?dl=0

I've also checked the ram and the psu and it's not them. Fresh install of Windows 7.

CPU: A6-6400k
Motherboard: ASROCK FM2A55M-VG3

see if amd has a cpu test like intel has. if you can try turning off cpu cache see if anything changes. in the bios turn off sound and ethernet one at a time. try booting from a windows 10 install usb stick see if the rig shuts down. if it not an over heat issue try using hardware info see if the vrm are holding.
So that error code indicates a fatal hardware error.

The WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR bug check has a value of 0x00000124. This bug check indicates that a fatal hardware error has occurred. This bug check uses the error data that is provided by the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA).

So question is which component. If you are sure about memory, then its CPU, GPU, motherboard or HDD.

I suspect CPU or motherboard, but try to eliminate the others first.

Try running with onboard graphics rather than GPU.

Try booting a linux distro off cdrom in trial mode (will not touch the hdd).

I think you need to look at new Computer.
 
Yeah already got my gpu out of there and it is running on board graphics but thats not it. It is either cpu or mobo but i have no way of finding out because i dont have another fm2 mobo or cpu. And yeah a new computer is what i need well cpu and mobo in my case. That a6 is the current bottleneck of my "gaming" pc. Also what linux should i try it with.
