K, I have no idea why my first post is grey on white. I tried to fix it, but it won't let me for some reason. I guess just highlight it?

In addition to my previous post, here's the fixes I've tried so far...
1.) Updating VGA drivers
2.) Rolling back VGA drivers
3.) Reflashing BIOS
4.) memtest86+ (4 passes, no errors)


I'll also include a .zip which includes my 3 latest Minidump files and my MSinfo file. Thanks in advance!!

The first and last minidump are STOP 0x124 errors. They mention hal.dll in the stack text so I've got to wonder if there's an incompatibility with some of your hardware. The middle minidump is a STOP 0x3b error that occurred while accessing memory. There's reference to streaming in the stack text, but there's no firm identification of the thread that's involved. The symbols aren't correct - but I suspect that the SP2 symbols aren't available on the symbol server yet. Due to my eyesight, I'm not able to read any of the text in your first post, so you'll have to change it so it's readable if it contains any significant information

There, managed to fix the first post. I dunno, there shouldn't be any incompatibility w/ new hardware because I haven't added any. This rig ran perfect up until a month or two ago.

To add to what Usasma said, I'm confident that your machine has hardware issues. Two of the three minidumps are type "0x124", which are hardware error reports, and the middle one is strongly suggestive of memory or processor issues.

It may also be a side-effect of overclocking or under-cooling, but that's all in the "hardware" bucket.

What can you tell me about these two? They happened today during things that haven't normally caused BSODs.

Bump.

Another 0x124 and a crash in the kernel which could easily be caused by a hardware issue.

Once the hardware is suspect, and in your case there is unfortunately plenty of reason to believe something is wrong, there is almost no point attempting to troubleshoot on a software level because it becomes almost impossible to tell which of the "software-looking" crashes are also linked to the underlying hardware unreliability.

So what's your suggestion? Where do I go from here? I'd assume a fresh install of everything isn't going to help, right? So how do I tell what piece of hardware is faulty?

I wrote up some detailed suggestions for another poster in a similar predicament. I hope some of it is useful to you:
