Hey All,

I recently built a new PC and gave my old one to my house mate - it had been running fine for the 2ish years I had it, all we did was move the PC to his room and format and reinstall windows vista 64 (same OS as before)... Literately that it, moved and formatted

However it keeps crashing with a BSOD with an error code of 0x00000124 and for the life of me I can't see why... have of course googled trying everything suggested and nothing.

Tried booting with each stick of ram to test, unplugged the HDD, change the PSU... same thing...

It appears to be caused from the nVidia drivers from what I can tell, the ones I had running when I used the machine were pretty old as I didn't game on it much, so didn't change them for months, cant remember what version they were to test though - got the most up to date ones from nVidia and nothing...

E6400 @ Stock
2x1GB GeIL RAM
400GB SATA HDD
200GB IDE HDD
PCI 7600GT
550W PSU (and tired 580W PSU)

Any ideas?
 
Still got the drivers disk that came with ur GPU ? that would be an easy test.
U could always try putting ur new GPU in the old machine see if you get the same error.
 
The old disk only contains 32bit drivers and wouldn't install, so I must have got the latest at the time of doing building!

Good shout on testing the new GPU though - will do that.
 
Might be power plug at his room that caused this ?
Try connecting it in the other room and check if that works.

I don't really think a drivers would cause this.

Also a short description on when exactly ( how long after booting / in what cirumstances ie, ide, playing game, vid etc ) does it BSOD?

You can also put the old one in your new rig and throw an artifact scan on it and check its temps.
