Hello to all. First let me start by my system info:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

Motherboard: ASUS M4A87TD

GPU: NVidia Geforce GT240

RAM: 4GB (2X2GB)

OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit

Sound: Focusrite Saffire 6 USB audio interface


The past 3-4 months I'd been getting various BSODs once every while until I started to get them very frequently and thus i proceeded to a windows clean install (without formatting the HD though). BSODs seem to be random and don't occur during a specific process. As a matter of fact I've been getting a few while the PC is idle.

I have installed all the latest drivers for my hardware, switched 3-4 antivirus programs, changed my PSU to a new one (previous one was a couple of years old) and already reinstalled windows 3 times. Let me also add that the onboard sound device of the mainboard is disabled while using the audio interface. I did however try to not use any sound device at all but that didn't make any difference. Saddly BSODs persist.

Windows' action center suggests it could be a RAM, Mainboard or CPU issue but I'd like to be sure before I go replacing anything else.

I am attaching the minidumps from the latest installation. I can also attach previous ones, if required, as old installation folders are still there.

Look at the stack text above in Cybercore's post:

You have a bad CD/DVD drive or a bad disc inside of it.

Lol, I also noticed that:

I would actually follow these outlines in this case:

Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try - Windows 7 Forums
 
All these crashes are happening because of faulty memory or misconfigured memory. No need for more crash dumps. The conclusion is definite 100%.
 
Thank you all, once again, for your valuable help. I have replaced the RAM with new modules and will wait to see what happens. If problem persists I'll ask for a MB+CPU replacement since they're still under guarantee.
 
So far (afraid to type it) all seems ok. Left the PC on for 2 days. No BSODs or crashes whatsoever. Will keep you posted.
 
No BSODs whatsoever since yesterday and I've been using the PC a lot.

For your future reference, I restored the sft files from the recycle bin and now Office 2010 works fine. So keep an eye open for online installations of Office when you see them again.
