    I'll post a standard procedure for testing again, but this time ensure that you post screenshots/logs




    STOP 0x124 Troubleshooting

    Read carefully before proceeding.



    warning   Warning
    If you're overclocking your system, revert back to stock clocks now.

    Note   Note
    Test the system once the overclock is removed before continuing with the steps outlined below.


    Part One: CPU Stress Test
    Part Two: MemTest86+ RAM Diagnostic
    Part Three: Hard Drive Diagnostics
    Part Four: GPU Stress Test




    ONE

     CPU TEST


    Run Prime95 and/or IntelBurnTest to stress test your CPU. Prime95 - Stress Test Your CPU - Windows 10 Forums & CPU - Stress Test Using IntelBurnTest - Windows 7 Help Forums

    warning   Warning
    Your CPU temperatures will rise quickly while under this stress test. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.

    Make a photo of the result and post it.




    TWO

     RAM TEST


    Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums

    Note   Note


    MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.


    Make a photo of the result and post it please.

    Addition:
    If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
    If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.




    THREE

     HDD TEST


    Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums
    Run following tests
    1. Short Drive Self Test
    2. Short generic
    3. Long generic

    If the short generic fails, no need for the long generic.

    Note   Note
    Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.

    Post screenshots/photos of the test results

    Run chkdsk
    Disk Check - Windows 7 Help Forums
    Upload the chkdsk log Chkdsk Log in Event Viewer - Read in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    Run HDTune to
    • scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
    • check the health,
    • benchmark.

    It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
    When above is done please make screenshots of the following
    • the error scan,
    • the health,
    • the benchmark incl. following
      • transfer rate,
      • access time,
      • burst rate,
      • cpu usage.





    FOUR

     GPU TEST


    Run Furmark to stress test your GPU. FurMark - GPU Stress Test - Windows 10 Forums

    Note   Note
    Run Furmark for around 30 minutes.

    warning   Warning
    Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.

    Make a photo of the result and post it.

    Hello. I'm working on the tests. Not sure about the timing for the CPU test so I plan on about 12h, even though it's gone 1.5 without any issue or even exceeding 50c. That's judging by what I've seen on forums etc. Moving to other tests after this one.

    Sorry for the late response, been on the move for a while and just settled back down.

    Alright, Here are the results for everything but MemTest, as I seem to have lost my free USB stick.

    Starting with CPU stress test. This was left on for roughly 12 hours straight.

    Next Is GPU. Was left on with the required settings for 30 min.
    I was present for ~20 min, and there were no artifacts whatsoever.

    As there were multiple HDD tests and I have multiple drives, the individual
    tests can be found in proceeding posts. The below screenshots are of the
    SeaTools tests that include data for both drives.

    One more thing. Looking back I realized you had asked me to upload a current zip containing collected system information and for some reason I never did that. So here it is.

    Please follow option TWO of the tutorial for chkdsk as requested, run following command on each partition in an admin command prompt.
    Code:
    chkdsk C: /r
    This is just an example, change the letter C to the letter of the partitions.

    Well this is great. Got stuck at 11% for about an hour on C: then restarted automatically. Upon restart, I got a BSOD. Then it tried to diagnose and repair and finally ended on a screen saying the only thing to do is restore an old version. Why would this happen? Power was never interrupted, and I never touched the computer durring the operation. Does this mean it is the drive? I noticed both drives running around 50c, but I didn't think that was too hot.... What now?
