BSOD crash during gaming

Hi this is my first post, let me know if anything else is needed. My computer has only crashed while playing games and up until today, it only crashed while playing Skyrim, in which it'd usually crash between 5-30 min. Now today I was playing Assassin's Creed Black Flag and it crashed after playing for a couple hours. I have used the windows memory test which said nothing was amiss, and I haven't had any problems with overheating.

The errors are 0x124 WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (Windows Hardware Error Architecture)
This means that there are problems with your hardware, unfortunately this error rarely gives enough information for a specific cause and in your case I cannot read the dumps.
Fortunately, this error is mostly caused by overclocking or faulty drivers

For the dump problem, this might help
Please do the following:

• Open an admin command prompt
• Copy/paste "sfc/scannow" (without quotes) and press enter
• When it finished reboot your system
• Open again an admin command prompt
• Enter sfc/scannow again

If sfc/scannow does NOT say "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation", please upload the cbs.log file located at {windows partition}\Windows\Logs\CBS\, if the file is too large try a 3rd party uploader like dropbox, onedrive, google drive, mediafire etc.
System File Check(SFC a.k.a. Windows Resource Protection) needs to have your system rebooted in order for sfc to try to fix the problems that it finds.


For the 0x124 error follow the instructions below

Please make sure your BIOS is the most recent.

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

   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

Run Prime95 to stress test your CPU. Prime95 - Stress Test Your CPU - Windows 10 Forums

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

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

Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums

Run chkdsk Disk Check - Windows 7 Help Forums

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

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

Thanks for the reply! My system is not overclocked (and never will be) ill update my drivers when i get home and let you know what the results are.

You're welcome

Let me know when you have another BSOD and please use the tool again + upload the zip file.

Ok so I went through and updated all the drivers that were in need of updating, then I ran the sfc/scannow (as administrator) 2 times. Once right after updating drivers, and then another time after restarting my computer and updating Windows. Both times it said "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation". The next thing that I'm going to do is to run the games that kept causing the BSOD and see if it'll trigger it again.

Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly, and thank you so much for your help!
