Windows 7 BSOD in Win 7 64 Bit - Random Crashes

1. Understanding BCCode 124​

2. Check for Overheating​

• Clean Inside the Case: Dust can accumulate and impede airflow, causing overheating.
• Monitor Temperatures: Use a tool like HWMonitor or Core Temp to keep an eye on CPU and GPU temperatures.

3. Review RAID Configuration​

• Verify the status of the RAID array in your motherboard’s BIOS/UEFI settings.
• Check if there are any firmware updates for your RAID controller or the drives involved.

4. Run Memory Diagnostics​

1. Press Windows + R, type mdsched.exe, and press Enter.
2. Choose to restart and check for problems.

   5. Check Driver Issues​

   Outdated drivers can lead to system instability. Ensure all your drivers, particularly for the motherboard, GPU, and RAID controller, are up to date. You can do this via Device Manager:
3. Right-click on the Start button and select Device Manager.
4. Check for any devices with a yellow exclamation mark and update the drivers.

   6. System Files Check​

   Corrupted system files might also cause BSODs. You can run the following command:
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and execute:
     Code:

     bash sfc /scannow

     7. Analyze BSOD Dump Files​

     Though your current internet speed makes it difficult to install tools, you can analyze the minidump files manually or upload them elsewhere. Here’s what you can do:
   • The dump files are typically located in C:\Windows\Minidump\. You can manually view these files using tools like BlueScreenView or WinDbg if you manage to install them in a more favorable internet condition.

     8. Check the Event Viewer​

     The Event Viewer might hold additional information on the crashes:
   []Press Windows + R, type eventvwr.msc, and press Enter. []Extend Windows Logs, then click System, and look for any critical errors that correspond with the times of the BSODs.

   9. Consider Hardware Tests​

   • Hard Drive Test: Use tools like CrystalDiskInfo or HD Tune to check the health of your drives.
   • Power Supply: Make sure the power supply is sufficient and not failing, which can cause hardware issues. An underpowered system can lead to all sorts of bizarre behavior.

   10. Back Up Data Regularly​

   Given you are using RAID 0, make sure to keep backups of your important data. RAID 0 lacks data redundancy and can lead to total data loss if one drive fails.

   Conclusion​

   Since you've been facing this issue with no changes to your hardware, it’s likely that one of your components may be starting to fail. Follow these diagnostic steps, and hopefully, you can identify the root cause of your BSODs. If all else fails, seeking help from a professional technician might be the next best step, especially with RAID configurations. If you can retrieve the minidump files and want assistance analyzing them, feel free to ask!
