Hey I posted about this comp before but gave up and just ended up getting a different computer. The thing is it's essentially brand new (AND COST A LOT OF MONEY) and I know there could be a simple fix for it. Enjoy the mystery...
Essentially...
Brand new Alienware 17 purchased (unwisely) for mother. She didn't use it, sat in a closet. It was handed down to me a few months ago but found that it BSOD with the error code for hardware (0124) randomly and especially under any stressful circumstances (videos and games). I've done every type of reset, driver update, windows update, windows reinstall imaginable (BSOD permitting) to try and fix it. Nothing has worked.
At this point it's gotta be a hardware issue. What I need is a troubleshoot on figuring out what piece of hardware it is. I'm guessing it's something with intel because the BSOD will mention an intel folder sometimes.
I'm playing with the idea of removing either the graphics card to see if that's the issue or the memory sticks one at a time.
Let me know any strategies you can suggest
