I'm going to go ahead and RMA the CPU and Mobo as it only really costs shipping I believe, and I'd rather just get my machine in working order. I'll run a stress test when I get my new parts and update. Until then, thanks a ton, you've been a great help!

Newest dump file is in the dropbox folder.

The file is still syncing to dropbox apparently, I'll try again now. And the stress test was unable to run in safe mode. As for the mobo CPU options: I don't have spare parts as this is my first build =\

I ran a stress test for 8 hours last night using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, and my computer crashed again. The new dump file is now included in the dropbox link.

Oh, I didn't realize that about Prime95, I hope I didn't damage my PC running it...I'll run IETU while I'm at work tomorrow and report back with whatever I find. Thank you so much for your prompt and helpful responses!

How long would you say is a while? This error hasn't been something that has occurred super frequently (the two dump files I provided were the most recent cases, and they occurred about a week apart). If it should occur again, should I assume that my CPU is at fault? Now that I think about it, I left prime95 running when I first built the thing while I went to class for a day. I came back and my computer had restarted. I assumed that it was from windows update and never really looked into it.

Memtest86+ ran for 5 passes with no errors, going to ran prime95 for a bit and got these load temps: My fans are never working this hard when my computer crashes so I don't think that CPU temps have anything to do with it, but I'm relatively new to this and could be wrong.

Ok, I'm running memtest86+ right now. A Tom's Hardware forum member recommended that I enable XMP but as the error has been occurring with XMP disabled, I am running Memtest86+ in that state. I'll report back what I find. As well as load CPU temps. I should also not that while the error has occurred seemingly randomly, the last two times it has crashed my comp, I was running League of Legends and a Google Talk call.

Oh man, I thought that my CPU was faulty cause when I used WinDbg I was getting a Cache Error with a 124 bug labeled "GenuineIntel." I hope it's just ram as that's way easier to replace and cheaper too in the even that warrenty doesn't cover it.

My CPU temps are attached. They seem reasonable...

Ok so I've been getting occasional BSOD's with the 124 error. I'm new to using WinDbg and after analyzing two dump files I believe that I have a faulty processor (I've owned this one since Black Friday and this problem has only recently started to occur). It should be noted that everything is at stock settings as well.

I do not yet own a desktop, though I am planning on building once I finish my undergrad (financial stability provided). I currently use an Ultrabook with a 128GB SSD drive. I use a combination of two external hard drives purchased over the years to compensate for my the puny storage capacities of both my previous and current laptop: a 1TB WD MyPassport to backup my movies and a 500GB model to back up my music and photos.
