Random 0x0000124 BSOD

Greetings folks, wondering if one of you fellows with a properly configured debugging tools could analyse the following dmp file, and report back with the results, tried to set my computer up with it, but seem to have errors with the symbol files, Keep getting bsods of this type at random intervals, sometimes weeks without but some kind of programs and games seem more likely then others to cause the issue, specifically DX11 ones (encounted in Cryengine 3 Editor Assassins Creed III(though took about 8 hours), most recently (and the dmp file generated) during bf4(every 2 or 3), saints row IV, even LOTR under dx11 mode), however seems to have no issues with some other dx11 titles, my pc is Prime95 24 hours stable, and I have the latest graphics drivers.

Albiet due to a bug with the vista edition the Catalyst version is incorrectly reported as being 13.4 when the actual drivers when you check on them are the latest 13.12 editions and the install is 13.12, i suspect just a bug on vista edition incorrectly reporting version no, and yes I have totally uninstalled Drivesweeped, CCleaned and re-installed them in the past in attempt to fix the BSOD errors to no avail, Unfortunately the hard drives are a few years old now, and shouldnt be ruled out, given there both quite full, and whilst the system drive is defragged daily the shere time taken to defrag the larger data drive, necessitates a far higher level of fragmentation on it then I would otherwise like, I do regularly run chkdsk /f and schedule disk checks, but I have fully defragged and scandisked both discs and the error still occurred with no more or less frequency.

Anyhow, I could whittle of further lists of things I've attempted, but I admit it is an old vista install, ghosted over from a previous PC, one that fails attempts to upgrade to Win7, due to its age, nor has it successfully managed to get IE9 on it, possibly due to betaing IE9 and getting its settings messed up, though no amount of driver sweeping, driver disabling and uninstalling has fixed either issue(ie9 installs all fail, and win7 gets to 1st boot of win7, then fails to show anything then rolls back the installation, despite following every possible recommendation), but it runs games usually just plain fine, however due to the difficulty in transferring many of the programs, until such time as I can afford a new hard drive, it is what I have to use, otherwise fully up to date, and well maintained, fully virus checked and so on.

Anyhow heres the dmp file link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1ZqsPuJ1FKkUVF3dXBKNEZsVW8/edit?usp=sharing

So for anyone who can analyze this for my Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 64 bit and report back the results I would be most grateful, I am planning a small upgrade once I have some new hard drives for it, but want to check the errors I'm encountering is likely to be cleared up with a new OS, if its hardware based, I'd be better of going straight to a new PC core.

thanks in advance

Xander

Its google drive, google wouldnt allow virii on there servers, there far more likely to secure there servers to a greater degree then your personal virus-checker could tell from a zip file, and the file will always be a link to an upload regardless of zip or not, given google's communication process, an upload of a zip file would look exactly the same as the raw .dmp does above. anyhow the link above would be the google page where you can download it not the download itself, they dont provide that link, hmm being a full size dump they dont virii check it @ 1.8Gb, but I dont have a mini-dump for it, but frankly nothing is stopping you doing a manual scan on the file with your virus checker, as long as you dont run it as an exectuable, merely downloading any file from google is no appreciable threat.

The only thing I could do would be to zip it up and post an identical looking link to google drive to download the zipped version, never used google drive before?.

That is what I thought, too. When I click on it, I get a warning that the file CANNOT be checked for virus. Do I want to download anyway?
Why not just follow the procedure and suggested?
If we need more information we will advise.

Well I analysed it myself, I dont have any mini-dump files for it to analyse, dont have the space left to keep them, so i just keep a single dump which is overwritten each time, even though i get allot of pdb errors:
Probably caused by : hardware

BugCheck 124, {0, fffffa8017cba030, fa000000, 400405}

FAULTING_MODULE: fffff8000a015000 nt

DEBUG_FLR_IMAGE_TIMESTAMP: 0

BUGCHECK_STR: 0x124_GenuineIntel

DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID: VISTA_DRIVER_FAULT

only intelligible bits, so some kind of driver fault, which could be just a dogey driver or a dogey bit of hardware, I guess I'll just have to do more tests, though theres really only one bit I can take out to test, and that's the sound card, the rest is all necessary.

Well I think the file is to large for whatever live checker they use, though I doubt they didnt do some kind of check before storing it in their own servers, as long as you had a healthy virus checker, downloading an non-executable file, through google is still no threat, as you know google itself wont execute it, then you can scan it manually, as long as you dont rename it to an .exe and execute it, im reasonably certain theres nothing such a file could do unless launched or initiated in some way.
