Hi all

Had this problem with a BSOD from time to time with a old system I use but its started been all the time. Im pretty sure its hardware related as it now crashes anytime even when not in windows. However Windows does sometimes start fine and will work for a bit if Im lucky.

When windows did start fine (its Vista 64) I ran the SF tool and got as much as I could. Not sure if its enough for someone but the system is refusing to boot at all now.

Thanks for any help

If the system isn't booting, you won't be able to get into Windows to perform any fixes.
Start with these free bootable diagnostics: Initial Hardware Diagnostics

As you've stated, this is Vista - so I'd suggest posting over in the Vistax64 forums: Vistax64 - Crashes and Debugging Forum As this is EightForums, we only handle Windows 8 here.

All of the minidumps are STOP 0x124 errors - so it's most likely a hardware problem.
