Windows 10: 0x124 - possibly related to NVIDIA drivers?

I've been having a crashing problem recently.

So earlier today I finally got a dump file. It's a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (0x124) but I have no idea how to interpret it. As you can see from my original post, I was having no trouble running Ubuntu Studio, but after I installed the NVIDIA official drivers, I started crashing. If anyone can help me here it would be greatly appreciated.

:)

 

Windows 10 won't stop crashing

Looks like it's a 0x124 stop error which can be CPU related

Are you overclocking? Is it overheating? Is the BIOS up to date on this?? It can also mean the CPU is faulty.

Is this a laptop or desktop?

 

Multiple BSODs with differen't errors

Try leaving off the side panel to see if air circulates better. If it makes a difference you could add an extra fan.

The latest dumpfile was bug check code 0x124 which indicates a hardware related problem. However, this is the first time I have noticed a code 0x124 dump on your system.

Thanks for the reply.

Running Memtest86+ showed no problems, it ran overnight for 16 passes and no errors were found.

SeaTools is happy with my hard drive. It didn't find any problems.

FurMark ran fine, with no crashes - this surprised me!

Is there anything else that I can do?

 

Diagnostic Test

DRIVER VERIFIER


Warning Please make a backup of your important files and get your rescue media or create one.
Please create a restore point.
Please follow this tutorial to run driver verifier.

Some windows drivers are blamed in a few crashes, but that usually means that a 3rd party driver is actually the cause.
Driver verifier stresses your drivers and will crash your pc if any driver fails due to a violation.

Driver verifier should be performed for a max of 48 hours, or when you have a bluescreen, whatever comes first.

If driver verifier has found a violation and you can't get back into windows normally, try to boot into safe mode and reset in safe mode driver verifier, or in the troubleshooting options open command prompt and type verifier /reset.



Note Your system will act very sluggishly while driver verifier is enabled, this is normal as your drivers will be being subjected to heavy testing in order to make them crash.

 

I've been running Driver Verifier, and have received several crashes that looked no different to before. Here are all the dumps.

 

Please run the DM Log Collector tool again.
Only dumps may not be enough.

 

OK, done. You might notice differences from the original file, as I performed a clean install.

 

The northbridge is where the problem occurs, just noticed it.

Is everything inside the case properly connected?

 

I assume you've unistalled the drivers and tried an older version?

Typically if the crashes started after installing the drivers, then it's the drivers. Uninstall through Programs&Features and when you install another driverset, use custom and select the "Perform Clean Installation" check box.

Thanks for the help, but I've done that several times.
