    BSOD 0x00000124 and HAL.dll


    A friend purchased a Dell XPS 8900 just before Christmas and dropped it off to me for some upgrades (PSU, GTX 770, SSD). After installing the new hardware I did a fresh install of Win10 Home x64 and sent it back. He contacted me recently about lockups he has been having and today was the first chance I've had to look at it. First thing I fired up bluescreenview and had a look. There were 50 BSOD's since Dec 28, all with 0x00000124 and HAL.dll as the culprit. I'm a very experienced system builder and can install/tweak Windows in my sleep but analyzing BSOD's is not my strong suit. I know the video card, hard drives, PSU to be good and am currently testing the RAM. If anybody can have a look at the dump files and offer some advice I'd appreciate it.

    This is an interesting one, a PCI-E error.
    Why this is an interesting one is explained below.
     Analyse

    Code:
    WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
    A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error
    source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the
    WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error conditon.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000004, PCI Express Error
    Arg2: ffffe00149c188d8, Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.

     Explanation why the error is interesting

    Normally with a 0x124 we see the parameter MCE (Machine Check Exception) instead of the PCI Express error.
    MCE is another bluescreen, 0x9C(MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION) that was used for older systems, this bluescreen still exists in current systems (Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10).
    When we look at the address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure as also done above, we see a different output with an MCE.
    In this case it shows an internal unclassified error on core 4 cache bank 4 what means the error hasn't been publicly documented, this error usually relates to a faulty CPU. However, an MCE error unfortunately only shows the problem that has been caught by the CPU, this does NOT mean that the CPU is the problem. With an MCE error the dump usually does not reveal enough data to point to something specific as a cause.
    Code:
    WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
    A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error
    source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the
    WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error conditon.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000000, Machine Check Exception
    Arg2: ffffe001def18028, Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.
    Arg3: 00000000ba000000, High order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
    Arg4: 0000000052000402, Low order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.

    Thanks for the prompt reply axe0. Chipset drivers have been updated from the Dell support site specific to the system tag and the computer is back in my friends' hands. I cleared out the minidump folder just in case there are are any errors going forward. Seeing how it was bluescreening multiple times every day, it should not take long to see if the problem is fixed. Will keep you updated.
