Windows 7 Frequent crashes citing 0x124_GenuineIntel

[kombucha]

Hey guys and gals,
I'm diagnosing a Latitude D620 running Windows 7 x64. Recently it's been crashing every couple of days - occasionally with a BSOD, but more typically just locking up or shutting down immediately. Most of the logged events are along the lines of:

Error      4/8/2010 1:20:42 PM       Microsoft-Windows-WHEA-Logger
18           None    
"A  fatal hardware error has occurred.
   
  Reported by component: Processor Core
  Error Source: Machine Check Exception
  Error Type: Bus/Interconnect Error
  Processor ID: 0
   
  The details view of this entry contains further information."

and the minidump gives:

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)
A fatal hardware error has occurred. Parameter 1 identifies the type of error
source that reported the error. Parameter 2 holds the address of the
WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure that describes the error conditon.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, Machine Check Exception
Arg2: fffffa80027608f8, Address of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD structure.
Arg3: 0000000000000000, High order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.
Arg4: 0000000000000000, Low order 32-bits of the MCi_STATUS value.

I suspect the issue is heat, but do not have the means to take the system apart at the moment (this is a remote diagnosis). If it isn't a heat issue, any other ideas as to what might be causing this? The dump log doesn't seem super helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I'd run a surface scan on your HD (check for bad sectors) and run a check of your system memory before going further. Sounds like one or the other to me. Also, try unplugging anything hardware-wise that you can eliminate.

Yeah, I'm going to try and set up a MemTest86 run soon. I don't believe it's a hard drive error, as there are absolutely no Disk errors in the event log. Are there any decent programs to test RAM from within Windows?

Sweet, I had no idea that was there.

Hi and welcome, Brackmayhall.

If you create a thread while posting the actual crash dump(s), we can give it sole attention there. Each case if different.

You can go to C:\Windows\Minidump - Copy the files in there to any other folder. Then zip them. Attach the zip to a post using the paperclip above where you type, in advanced mode reply.

In the meantime, 0x124 stops are hardware based and difficult to diagnose. Please see this excellent resource about them:
