The BSOD/Freezing that has never ended.

[Paronte]

Please note that I have tried a lot of things to try and make this work, but, still, I'm still getting hard crashes and BSOD's. (Note: I will elaborate on those things that I tried.)

So, roughly a month and a half ago, I got a used PC for about $300, it had good specs for the price, and I desperately wanted a starting point for building a new PC.

I get it and it in games like Team Fortress 2 hard crashes with rainbow lights.

Simple, they sent me another graphics card, free.

I install it, things work fine, but instead of BSOD's (STOP: 0x0...124) I get hard crashes. I realize my CPU is running really hot, get worried, ask on these forums, I get told to try and get some thermal paste, perhaps because it's old hardware the paste is bad.

I tell the company, they send me paste, and voila! A few days with no issue.

That is, until today, of course. A display adapter crashed, restored, then hard crashed my PC, and then auto-restarted it. Not very worried, new drivers could cause issues.

A few hours later I got this infamous BSOD I used to get all the time. (STOP: 0x0...124).

Now, every time I get this BSOD it never finishes creating a mini-dump. It always 'crashes' on the screen. I left it for about an hour and still no results, so I always have to hold the power button in for about 10 seconds. I have a minidump from I believe the graphics issue, I'll post the minidump below.

Some things to elaborate on, I know:
Company name is Micomp, they sell used hardware from a place in Chicago. They have been very nice to me, but yet, still haven't fixed my issue.

Specs:

(My CPU temperatures, even after properly installing paste seem to be rather high, this is on idle.. At max load they run at 72 C)

A minidump from earlier today:

If you need any other information, or have any questions whatsoever, feel free to ask, I want this fixed very badly. (I just want to play overwatch without crashing everytime.)

UPDATE: Computer wouldn't boot, had to restart it once in order for it to boot. Probably sending it back to the company it came from now.

The issue with your screenshot is that the PSU isn't stated and the way the ram sticks(as well as their spec's) are populated on the board. Upon Google'ing your motherboard doesn't seem to have any BIOS/drivers files. On another note the BSOD 0x124 means that the CPU socket is receiving too little or too much power to the cpu core or the NB isn't getting the right amount of juice. Does the crashes occur when you're in desktop on idle? The GTX460 isn't a good card to be gaming on and it's one of two things I'm afraid is causing the issue. The other being that the PSU can't provide the power necessary for the system to run. Looking through your .dmp file, it seems that your culprit is the drivers for your graphics card. Follow this guide and reinstall them though I'm not hopeful the latest drivers will solve it since the GTX460 is known to overheat(it's a hot headed card itself). Asa last ditch effort try and reinstall DirectX.

See if aiming a CPU fan toward the CPU power delivery area to keep the VRM's cool helps keep the BSOD's and crashes at bay. Can you get into BIOS and stay there without encountering a BSOD?

At this point of time, I think you've figured out that buying a second hand system isn't' a good idea especially due to the amount of resources you've invested into it.
