I'm at a point where I can't figure out anymore. My new build is giving me BSODs randomly, but usually only while tasking my PC while running games like WoW. Running WhoCrashed, I'm seeing a recurring theme of BugCheck code 0x124, Parameter 1 0x0, Parameter 2 Varies, Parameter 3 0xBF800000, Parameter 4 0x124, and probably caused by hal.dll.
Now this is a new Corsair RM1000w PSU, 4790k i7, Asus Maximus VII Hero, Sapphire R9 290x, Intel SSD, and Win 8.1 Student Pro Full. I've updated my drivers, I've had this persist through 2 Bios revisions, and metered wall power to check for variations. Nothing changes. As I only have a small window to return faulty hardware, I'd like to get this figured out ASAP. I ran both tools required on the forums, and I'll upload the logs. Thank you in advance for your help.
One thing I'll mention, that may help. I initially installed Win8.1 on a backup drive, booted to it, copied my files off of my SSD, and then reformatted and installed Windows from boot on the SSD. However, when I installed Windows on my SSD, I didn't remove my backup drive from the system. It left the bootloader and system partiton on the backup drive. Even though it would boot to my SSD, if I removed the backup drive, I got the old hal.dll missing or corrupted errors. Using a partition program, I copied the system partition from the backup drive to the SSD, and it has worked without the backup drive installed. I'm not sure if moving this partition caused the problems, if I need to install windows fresh and have it make a new system partition from disk, if it can be repaired, or if it's even the issue. I simply thought I should make it known in the interest of disclosure. Thanks!
