    Constant Crashing at irregular intervals


    I have built a number of PC's and my latest PC crashes at irregular intervals. I have tested the memory and have a new power supply. This was occurring in Windows 7 and is still happening after upgrading to Windows 10.

    It happens at irregular times and does seem to be heat based.

    Windows 10 gives me a blue screen message about closing down and I have checked the event logs with out success. Any advice on how to track the issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi heimdal,

    Welcome to the 10forums.

    Unfortunately there are no dumps, however the event logs do give the bugcheck 0x124.
    Without dump files I cannot check what goes wrong, but I can give suggestions.

    Please check {windows partition}\windows\minidump and check if there are any dump files saved.
    Please make sure your pc is configured for small dump files How to configure minidump | Windows 10 tutorial.

    The error 0x124 WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (Windows Hardware Error Architecture)
    This means that there are problems with your hardware, but this error is also caused by overclocking or faulty drivers.
    Please update your BIOS, the most recent version is F9 and you have F7.

    Read carefully before proceeding.

    Hi - I will run these and add the results.

    After I posted last night I added RealTemp and logged the CPU temperature.

    I have noticed the CPU heating up to between 90 - 100 degrees C on a relatively light load.

    I have added some of the results while I collect the rest.

    Please clean your components of dust and replace the thermal paste before you run the tests.
