A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Windows Error Reporting Service service to connect.

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly


Some processor performance power management features have been disabled due to a known firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware.

STOP 0x124 errors are mostly hardware problems (but can be due to a few different driver issues).

To start, blow out all the vents with canned air (DO NOT use an air compressor or vacuum as they can cause damage to to your system). Only use the laptop on a hard surface - and I also recommend using a laptop cooler to ensure that the system is getting adequate cooling airflow.

The "firmware" issue is most likely a BIOS update. Have you checked those?
