Inside the the ZIP file are my minidumps created by Windows and also I've including a report of the computers specifications created by HWiNFO32. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello !!

Seems like it's some hardware that has caused the problem. One of my colleague has created a great thread to help resolving such issues [2-Int] Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try - Windows 7 Forums

Also some conman things that you can do is Download MemTest86+ burn it to a disk and run a Memory Diagnostic atleast 6 passes also run a Hard Drive Diagnostic. Follow this thread for more information on steps Link Removed - Invalid URL

Download Speedfan and check your CPU temperatures make sure it not too hot. If you have overclock please stop.

There is a service exception at (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000005 usually caused by Antivirus / Firewall so uninstall it and run the Cleanup Tool to make sure all the entries are remove.

Hope this helps,
Captain

I've already ran memtest86+ v4.1 and an older version 1.71 off of Ultimate Boot CD. The older version found only 3 errors after 10 passes. I went to Microcenter and bought two new 1GB DDR2 667 sticks of ram and replaced them and the blue screen is still happening.

Download Speedfan and check your CPU temperatures make sure it not too hot. If you have overclock please stop.

I am not overclocking, and I do not believe that my CPU temps are too hot. The are in the HWiNFO32 report that I've provided.

There is a service exception at (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000005 usually caused by Antivirus / Firewall so uninstall it and run the Cleanup Tool to make sure all the entries are remove.

This is a clean install of Windows 7, I have no anti-virus or firewall software installed on the computer.

Hope this helps,
Captain

So far, still having the same troubles. I will post more minidumps and BlueScreenViewer logs as they occur. In the mean time, thanks for trying...

Did you check to see if there is an available bios update for your motherboard? If there is one, please install it. If you aren't sure which motherboard you have, use CPU-Z to find out.

Also, it is worth checking in CPU-Z for your exact memory modules. Then visit the maker's site for the correct voltage and timings. Set them motherboard values for these manually.

 

[stgarf]

Thank you for your reply! Let see...

Did you check to see if there is an available bios update for your motherboard? If there is one, please install it. If you aren't sure which motherboard you have, use CPU-Z to find out.

I checked Intel's site for a bios update but couldn't find anything, maybe I searched incorrectly. But my motherboard is a Intel D102GGC2.

Also, it is worth checking in CPU-Z for your exact memory modules. Then visit the maker's site for the correct voltage and timings. Set them motherboard values for these manually.

Just FYI, this is the second set of RAM I've installed in this PC in two days and it's still blue screening. I looked through my settings in the BIOS and I don't see any options where I can mess with the voltage and timings anyway.

Since I don't think the RAM is the problem, what else could it be?
Bad HDD? I ran Data Life Guard from WD since it's a Western Digital drive and it passed both its Quick Test and Extended test.
Bad motherboard? How can I test this theory more thoroughly, I don't want to spend any more money than necessary to fix this problem.

Again, thanks for any help!!

P.S. I am also posting more of my crash dumps.
View attachment Minidump.zip
The PC blue screened like 6 times in 5 minutes. I would restart the PC and it would BS immediately.
Also, ONE single blue screen mentioned the fltmgr.sys driver when it was dumping the memory.... What's this for?

 

[TorrentG]

Cool, let's see more dumps if possible. The current ones posted can not be read to show most drivers.

Here is a January 2007 bios update. When you power on your machine, check the bios date on the first screen. If this is newer, then install:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=12686&lang=eng

 

[stgarf]

Okay, went to update and the installer said the version I'm trying to flash to is older so I canceled the flashing...

I just had 7 more Blue Screens, here's the logs from them.
View attachment MoreDumps.zip
Also when each of these blue screens happened I just wrote down what was on screen.
Here's the info (OLDEST crash first):
0x0000001A - MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
0x00000024
0x00000024 - ntfs.sys
0x0000000A - IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
0x0000001A - MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
0x00000050 - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA - ntfs.sys
0x00000050 - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Thank you again

All the crash dumps are showing 0x124 hardware errors still, with the "more professional" WinDbg anaylyzer. Here's an example, as they're all the same and rather strange because I can only obtain information about 15 percent of the drivers. As you can see near the bottom, all the rest are unloaded:

Mini Kernel Dump does not contain unloaded driver list

So those errors, even though what you saw on the screen says different, all translate to still being a hardware error. Since NTFS.sys has been involved though, at this point I can recommend to open an elevated command prompt. Then for each drive letter on the system for all drive letters or partitions, copy and paste this command to it. Then hit enter. Change C to match each partition letter for each time you run it:

chkdsk /r C:

This will repair any hard drive errors if possible. This may be of your biggest concern at this point. If after doing this, you still have bsod, please post new crash dumps as we may be able to extract all the information then needed to offer a better diagnosis.

Okay... After digging in the BIOS, I've found the problem.

The memory I purchased operates at 400/533/667: ValueRAM 2GB DDR2-667/533 (PC-5300/4200) CL5 Memory Module

But my motherboard only supports 400/533. After manually setting it to 533 in the BIOS it seems that I am blue screen free!
I hope that anyone having similar trouble learns from this mess....
Thank you for your efforts in troubleshooting my problem

Now, if I could only figure out how to change the title of this thread to [SOLVED] or [CLOSED]... seems I can't edit my first post anymore.
