Running SB 2600k @ 4.5GHz and have been for the past few years. Recently I have been getting regular BSODs with a 124 error, usually when playing BF3 but it has done it at the desktop also.

Never had stability issues in the past. Running Offset + Voltage set to Auto, with Auo LLC..pretty much auto everything on an Asus P8P67. RAM is manually set to 1.5Volts.

Have removed the OC from my GTX680 but the BSOD still occurs. Thought iot could be temp related with the current 'summer' heat but my temps are not THAT bad to be fair. 61 Deg tops on any one core. GPU is always sub 60 Deg C.

C3 and C6 Report is disabled. 124 is usually VCORE but that is all auto controlled, so should not be too little or too much.

What other things could I be looking at?

Edit - Typo fail in subject, constant*
 
Everything back to stock settings has got to be the first step. And then a good hammering with Memtest.

If you aren't 100% sure everything is fine at stock then everything else is going to be guesswork.

For my next trick I'll teach my Grandmother to suck eggs.;)
 
Just prepping memtest onto bootable USB now.

Everything is pretty much at stock (Auto everything) bar putting multipler to 45 and some preferential non-perf related things (Boot order etc)

Will report back on memtest result.
 
Had an Afterburner Update waiting to be applied.

Apparently Punkbuster sometimes does not play nice with MSI AB and can cause a 0x124.

Have updated AB and put it in Kernel mode and will also dump latest GPU drivers on. Start of 0x124 BSODs coincides with the AB update going live so let's see....
 
I had to put +0.040 on the vcore when using offset voltage on my 2500k to get it absolutely stable at 4.5.(BF3 would bsod if not)
 
Updated nVidia drivers, Afterburner and set it to kernel rather than user mode.

Managed to play BF3 for some time without a crash although prior I could sometimes play for that period of time without BSODing also. Will need to keep playing and see.

Its awful doing testing sometimes :p
 
Your idle bsod could be because of the c3/c6, I found if I cleared CMOS, left all that stuff on auto it was perfectly stable by only changing to XMP on the memory profile, auto on vcore but using the +offset with +0.040 and a 46(above post should have been 4.6ghz) on the multi.
 
Starting to think it is age deterioration and the chip demanding more voltage. Even though offset is on auto and SHOULD be pushing more juice.

Dropped multi by 1 to 44x and added 0.05V to VCCIO, so far been okay but still expecting another BSOD :p
