    Hey there. I just got a new computer, and are having issues with a lot of BSOD. It mainly happens when the PC is under stress, but it occationally occurs when browsing etc. 

    Here is the most recent dump file:

    On Mon 8/26/2013 15:57:56 GMT your computer crashed
    crash dump file: C:\windows\Minidump\082613-18687-01.dmp
    This was probably caused by the following module: hal.dll (hal+0x2D965)
    Bugcheck code: 0x124 (0x0, 0xFFFFFA800F8E3028, 0xBF800000, 0x124)
    Error: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR
    file path: C:\windows\system32\hal.dll
    product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
    company: Microsoft Corporation
    description: Hardware Abstraction Layer DLL
    Bug check description: This bug check indicates that a fatal hardware error has occurred. This bug check uses the error data that is provided by the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA).
    This is likely to be caused by a hardware problem problem. This problem might be caused by a thermal issue.
    The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time. 

    I have tried running a stress test on the computer (Prime 95). After a maximum of 5 minutes, the computer will crash. CPU temperature never goes above 72 degrees C during stress test and motherboard temperature stays at 28 degrees. Any suggestions to what I can do to fix or find the cause to the crashes?

    It seems like the BIOS version was the problem. After updating, i didn't have a crash during the stress test for an hour. Since it normally took 1-2 minutes, I assume the problem is fixed. Thank you both for your assistance!

    We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.  

    WE NEED AT LEAST TWO DMP FILES TO SPOT TRENDS AND CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS.
    You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.
    If you are overclocking stop.  (chances are if you dont know if you are, you are not)
    To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.  
    The procedure:
    * Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
    * Zip up the copy (compress them)
    *Please upload them to a file sharing service like Skydrive or"Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.
    Link for how to  upload below.
    To ensure minidumps are enabled:
    * Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
    * Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
    * Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
    * Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
    * Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
    * OK your way out.
    * Reboot if changes have been made.
    Please also run MSinfo32 and upload the output as well.
    To run MSinfo32 please go to start>run>MSinfo32
    Go to "file" "save" and upload the saved file with the DMPS
    System specs are extremely useful so please include whatever you know.

    Blue Screen View & Who Crashed are often wrong and should only be used in an emergency...

    Please don't always mark your own replies as answer if they are not the real answer. It was helpful so I voted for it, but didn't answered it.
