Hello,
So I'm been having the dreaded BSOD 124 hardware (probably) error for about 2 weeks now, according to bluescreenview. I've been getting the bluescreens at seemingly random times daily. I'm not 100% sure as to what is common factor that is regularly causing it. All I can tell you is they don't seem to occur when idle.
I can give you a list of situations they occur in, but I can go and do the exact same thing, and it wont happen again. I simply can't recreate them.
The exact nature of the bluescreen is a freeze, with sound stutter, then the sound of a fan audibly switching off, BSOD, reboot. Sometimes it'll just freeze without a BSOD and reboot. I'd say I've had about 5 or so more crashes than the dumps would indicate.
I've run windows memory diagnostic with 8 passes, no probs. Tried chkdsk, no probs. Prime95, no probs. Furmark, no probs (although I only ran it for a couple of minutes). And HWmonitor shows no concerning temperatures.
I clean the inside of dust relatively frequently, and didn't occur anywhere near the last time I did it, about 4 months ago. I've done it again, since the BSODs starting appearing, and of course, no change.
One last thing of note is that I did have some problems with my graphics card recently, a card I used to upgrade 4 years ago, in which I wouldn't get a display after starting sleep mode on occasion, and sometimes getting the error beeps (1 long, 2 short) indicative of graphics card failure. Those have since, completely dissappeared :huh:. This was only a week ago. So it might be that, but I don't know.
Lastly, I'd usually take my PC to the repair for fault I couldn't figure out (I've got the know how to swap parts, but I completely lack the facilities), but with this being so intermittent and not replicable, I just don't know if anything would happen.
