I have been experiencing seemingly random BSODs for the past several months. Most recently I encountered one playing League of Legends shortly after a re-install of Windows 7 Ultimate. Let me konw if any other information is needed.

Thank you for your time.

Your bugcheck is a 0x124 - that's WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR; it's a hardware error reported to Windows by the CPU:

Proc. Info 0  @ fffffa8004f60250

===============================================================================
Section 2     : x86/x64 MCA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Descriptor    @ fffffa8004f60148
Section       @ fffffa8004f602d0
Offset        : 664
Length        : 264
Flags         : 0x00000000

Error         : BUSLG_GENERIC_ERR_*_TIMEOUT_ERR (Proc 0 Bank 4)
  Status      : 0xfa00000000070f0f

It's a generic timeout error on the bus, which could mean one of a few things - memory, CPU, video card, motherboard, or power. Given testing your RAM is the easiest, that's the best place to start.

We generally recommend testing your hardware with the tools/tutorials from these links:
RAM: Memory Diagnostics
HDD: HD Diagnostic
CPU/GPU: STOP 0x101: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT troubleshtg - Windows 7 Forums

Awesome, thanks for the help. Here is what I have found thus far:

----

- MemTest86 found no errors after 7 passes
- The Western Digital HDD test found the following:
"ERRORS FOUND - THE DRIVE HAS BEEN REPAIRED, ERROR/STATUS CODE: 0223"
- HotCPU Test found no errors
- FurMark confirmed that I have a crappy graphics card - 8 fps but temperatures did not exceed the max

I cleared dust inside the case and looked around (didn't see any visible damage). I admittedly don't really know what I"m looking for, however.

Anything else that can be done?
