New system with regular BSODs

First post, bare with me!

I purchased the "Titan 8200i Spinosaur" gaming PC in February and on a regular basis now I seem to be getting BSODs. I have had quite a few now whilst moving around on Google Maps 'Street View', playing Candy Crush on FB and also when on Flight Simulator 2004. I thought it might be temperatures of the GPU but just before a BSOD 10 mins ago, it was at 97% load and 55c so that seemed acceptable to me. I reckon I have fiddled with the GPUs OC settings a little in Nvidia insecptor by mistake so that could be a culprit.

I have looked through a recent BSOD dump with BlueScreenView and the two components that are highlighted red are: hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe. One concern is that it doesn't seem to be dumping the reports anymore since they first happened in Mar/Apr. I even changed the directory of where to save the kernel dump file to and they never appear.

I have also attached a photo from my phone of the BSOD that happened before whilst playing on Flight Simulator 2004.

Any help appreciated, thanks :)

Can't see the screenshot on my fone,but if its 124 bsod you need a touch more CPU voltage,maybe one/two clicks
 
I just sorted my BSOD problem and it was drivers. Quite a common cause as well as something becoming corrupt i windows. A clean install would at least eliminate the possibility.
 
Issue I've got now is I cannot access the bios to change the boot order and change the CPU voltage. Everytime I restart/turn on the PC, it asks if I want to start with Windows 7 or run a diagnostics test, boot logging or disable various things etc. This might be because I told it before to boot from CD and I have now taken the memtest CD out. Any ideas how to access bios differently?
 
GOD DAMMIT! :o

Ignore me, I did spam that F2 key like a bugger and I got there. I have changed CPU voltage up two clicks to 1.330v. Will test tomorrow on games and see how it copes.

Thank you very much for your help so far guys and sorry for being a numpty!
 
So I thought increasing the CPU voltage would work, and I thought it had but unfortunately I've just had another 0x124 whilst gaming. I presume next thing to do is increase the QPI or whatever now....

How exactly do I do this? I went through my BIOS screen and I found DRAM but no QPI section.
 
idk what ita called on evga boards,each manufacturer labels it differently

it will be something vtt and will be at 1.05v try with 1.08v

I still think you need more cpu voltage as 124 error is not enough cpu v
 
still try and find the vtt at 1.05 and set to 1.08v it won't hurt things,

it might also be called vccio or vccsa
 
So I've set CPU to 1.335v and VCCSA to 1.08v and after about 1hr 30 or so maybe more, I got a BSOD 0x124, the CPU/GPU load at the time probably wasn't at its max too. I've now upped VCCSA to 1.10v and will see how that does
