All of the mini dumps when debugged displayed WHEA 0 x 124.
These are typically due to malfunctioning hardware.
There are tests/steps below and more tests to follow to systematically check the hardware.
For all tests /steps please post images / results into the thread using one drive, drop box, or google drive share links.
1) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
4) chkdsk /scan
5) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread
6) Make sure that there is no over clocking while troubleshooting.
7) Sometimes there are problems in the bios that produce bsod.
The BIOS: BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. F7, 9/18/2015
8) Please check to see if this is the most up to date non-beta version.
9) Open the website for the computer or motherboard manufacturer to view the drivers and post a URL or hyperlink into the thread.
a) Indicate the version for the motherboard: Z97X-Gaming 3
10) To ensure that there are no improper bios settings please reset the bios.
11) Sometimes there can be failure to boot after resetting the bios.
12) Backup the computer files to another drive or to the cloud.
13) Make a backup image using Macrium:
Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free:
https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree
14) And please create a brand new restore point.

15) In the left lower corner search type: system or system control > open system control panel > on the left pane click advanced system settings
a) > on the advanced tab under startup and recovery > click settings > post an image of the startup and recovery window into the thread.
b) > on the advanced tab under performance > click on settings > on the performance options window > click on the advanced tab > under virtual memory > click on change > post an image of the virtual memory window into the thread
16) If the computer has Ccleaner (do not install the software if it is not already installed) > click windows tab > scroll down to system and advanced > post an image into the thread
17) When testing for WHEA hardware errors we need to systematically check CPU, GPU, RAM and drive.
18) Choose one of the temperature monitoring software applications: Speecy, HW monitor, Speed fan:
Speccy - Free Download - Piriform: Speccy - System Information - Free
https://www.piriform.com/speccy
https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy
HWMONITOR | Softwares | CPUID: HWMONITOR | Softwares | CPUID
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

19) Check the RAM to determine whether it is DDR3 or DDR4.
If the RAM is DDR3 then run memtest86+ version 5.01 for at least 8 passes.
http://www.memtest.org/
If the RAM is DDR4 then run memtest86 version 8.0 for at least 8 passes.
https://www.memtest86.com/
The testing is done not by time but by passes.
The more passes the better the testing conditions.
There is 16 GB of RAM on the computer.
Memtest86+ version 5.01 testing takes approximately 1 - 2 hours /GB RAM
A substantial portion of the testing can be performed overnight.
Testing must be continuous.
Just 1 error is a fail and you can abort testing.
Then test 1 RAM module at a time in the same DIMM each for 8 or more passes.
b) When Memtest86+ version 5.01 has completed 8 or more passes use a camera or smart phone camera to take a picture and post an image into the thread.

20) Run HD Tune (free edition) (all drives)

Post images for test results on these tabs:
b) Health (SMART)
c) Benchmark
d) Full error scan
