Hey guys, Lately I seem to be randomly getting the same BSOD.
It's only been occurring the last month, It's happened 7 times this month.

So I'm begining to get a little curious as to what it is, However I have no idea how to find out or fix it at the moment so I am hoping you guys can assist me on that one :D

Here is the report from Microsoft's Problem Reports application:

Code:
Problem signature
Problem Event Name:	BlueScreen
OS Version:	6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID:	3081

Files that help describe the problem (some files may no longer be available)

sysdata.xml
Version.txt

Extra information about the problem
BCCode:	124
BCP1:	0000000000000000
BCP2:	FFFFFA8006645030
BCP3:	00000000B6060000

If you guys could help me get this fixed up it would be highly appreciated.
Lemme know if you need anymore information!
Thanks in advance.

This is a STOP 0x124 (Windows Hardware Error Architecture) error. It usually points to hardware problems. Most often they are either malfunctioning or incompatible hardware/drivers - but I suspect that bad drivers can cause this. The error is generated by a hardware component (usually your CPU) - that's why it's not as informative as other BSOD's.

To start, I'd suggest following the suggestions in this post as you are able: http://usasma.vox.com/library/post/bsod-troubleshooting-preliminaries.html
Also, please provide us the information in this post (as it may help to isolate the offending hardware or driver): http://www.techsupportforum.com/1871981-post2.html

Alright I did the System Info, The BSOD Mini Kernel Dump & Done a few of the BSOD troubleshooting preliminaries which will hopefully help.

Computer Specifications:
Motherboard: ASUS M3A78-EM
Video Card: ATi 4850
CPU: AMD 5600+
RAM: 4GB's G.Skill DDR2.
PSU: OCZ StealthXStream 500W

Temperatures: Temp1: 36c | Temp2: 30c | Temp3: -128c | HD0: 34c | Core: 4c

Ran a Virus Scan, Malware & Spyware & Everything came back clean.
Was unable to do the bootable memory and HD Diags s I don't have a blank disk available, however if it's needs to be done I will do it.

MiniDumps attached to this post.

If you need anything else please let me know, I was in a bit of a rush today.
Thanks again.

The bootable memory and hard drive diagnostics are necessary (in case there's something wrong with them). You can use the built in memory diagnostic tool that comes with the OS, but IMO it's just not as thorough as the one that I suggested.

FWIW - all the stuff that's suggested in that first post is things that have solved BSOD issues that weren't solvable by running an analysis of the dump files. This is especially important with STOP 0x124 errors as they don't usually give us a bunch of information about the cause (in the memory dump files).

You've got some older drivers on your system. I'd suggest updating them:
Code:
AtiPcie.sys  Mon Nov 06 11:59:54 2006  [B]ATI PCIE Driver for ATI PCIE chipset[/B]
ASACPI.sys   Mon Oct 30 22:09:12 2006  [B]Asus AISuite[/B]
hamachi.sys  Wed Aug 15 19:05:08 2007  [B]Hamachi Virtual Network Interface Driver (?LogMeIn)[/B]
AsIO.sys     Mon Dec 17 04:11:49 2007  [B]Asus utility[/B]
RtNdPt60.sys Mon Dec 10 21:49:52 2007  [B]Realtek NDIS Protocol Driver[/B]
The memory dump files are all STOP 0x124 errors - so that's not much help for us.
Interestingly, there's an error with your PSCHED.sys file not using the correct symbols. There's another similar thread in this forum about it ( http://www.techsupportforum.com/f217/bsod-0x124-please-help-396167.html#post2258863 ). It's starting to look like a hardware problem, so this makes the hard drive and memory diagnostics a bit more important.
