My specs
GPU: Gtx 960
CPU: fx 8320 @3.5
MoBo:GB-78LMT-USB3
RAM: 4x4gb Ripjaw
HDD: Seagate 7900rpm(I think)
SDD: Intel 250gb
PSU: 475w
I also have multiple fans and temps are good

I've been getting the BSODs when playing games and they are getting spookin me.
I have dont the following tests:
Memtest (8 passes 0 errors)
Furmark (1080p benchmark and its included CPU Burner) (I must add that this test did BSOD me until I re seated both my ram and gpu but I pass both tests now perfectly fine)
Seagate HDD/SDD Test (passed)

The prime problem is this ntoskrnle.exe x124 bsod, I fixed the dump_ataport.sys x124 bsod(I believe)

Jack I've also been rereading your thread again and many of your dump files have been Bugcheck 124 with a machine check eception. Now as well as RAM one of the main causes for this crash can be a weak power supply.
I've been trying to find an Orion 475W PSU so I can check on the specifications. One has to also consider how many amps a PSU gives out too as this is critical to the machine running stable.
Now your GTX 960 requires 20A to run properly:

The Orion/Hec PSU I could find (Orion and Hec seem one and the same) is this one at newegg:

Some more info:

I would consider replacing the power supply in any case asap.

Do you think this is probably the issue? 60 bucks is a bit much to throw at hopes. I will probably buy it either way. I am just curious.

probability of psu causing the issue?
I am pretty sure this crappy psu is all what remains other than my HDD. (I had the issue before upgrading these parts)
