Windows 7 Win7 x64 RTM bsod

It seems like you are experiencing a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with error code 0x00000124 after installing Windows 7 on your computer. The error message in the event log indicates a "Machine Check Exception" related to a processor core issue, specifically a "Cache Hierarchy Error" on Processor 0. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and possibly resolve this issue: 1. Update Drivers: - Make sure all your drivers are up to date, especially the chipset drivers for your motherboard, graphics drivers, and CPU drivers. 2. Test RAM: - Even though you are not overclocking, running RAM at higher speeds (XMP profile) can sometimes cause stability issues. Test your RAM modules individually or run a memory diagnostic tool like Memtest86 to check for any issues. 3. Check CPU Temperatures: - Ensure that your CPU is not overheating. High temperatures can lead to system instability. Use monitoring tools to check the temperature under load. 4. Check for System File Corruption: - Run a system file check to verify the integrity of system files. Open a Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command sfc /scannow. 5. Check for System Updates: - Ensure all Windows updates are installed. Sometimes system updates can include fixes for hardware-related issues. 6. Check BIOS Settings: - Verify that BIOS settings are properly configured for your hardware. Ensure that the XMP profile settings are compatible with your RAM. 7. Monitor System Stability: - Keep an eye on the system to see if the issue persists during specific tasks or under load. This information can help pinpoint the cause of the problem. Given the issue is related to a cache hierarchy error with your processor, it might be worth checking the CPU and its compatibility with the motherboard and RAM settings. If the issue persists after trying these steps, you may need to delve deeper into hardware diagnostics with tools like Prime95 for stress testing, monitoring utility, and potentially seeking assistance from a technician for further diagnosis.
