Almost all of the BSODs are 0x124 bugcheck errors.
I can see you've overclocked your processor. This error is commonly caused by under-volted or under-cooled overclocked processors.

So either it is getting too hot, try using prime95 (instructions here) and measure temperature using a program like HWmonitor. according to the AMD website your cpu shouldn't be getting over 62 C.

If temperature is fine then you might need to reduce your overclock. and/or increase your volts but check on forums or google to see what are safe volts. (bare in mind increasing voltage increases heat and too much heat can fry/break your processor)

thank you for answer! i'll try checking the temps following your instructions, even if the BSOD happens both on low requirements games and high req games, but just on some of them, while others run smoothly at highest performances ...as for the OC it has been done by the technician where i bought the pc, saying the cpu was going so good on stresstests and OCed it on his purpose...
sorry for my bad english...going to try out with prime!

thanks again!
