I'm experiencing weird BSOD crashes whenever I'm playing demanding games such as GTA 5. It usually takes about 30 minutes for the BSOD to occur and it occurs everytime. My PC is a month old and this has been taking place the last 12 days. I have everything updated (BIOS + drivers), hardware properly installed and configured, CPU temps never surpass 60 degrees and there is good airflow in my case (which means that it's not a case of increasing temperature).
The BSOD says "0000000x124". I've checked the dmp files and they don't make that much sense. I've also run a memtest and it didn't come up with any problems. I also have an identical rig with the same identical components and it never experiences a BSOD. That's what makes the entire situation really weird. If it really is a hardware problem I'm practically 100 percent unable to find it out. I've run out of ideas. Exchanged components with that rig and same thing. BSOD. I need some serious help.
Thanks in advance.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I have an ASUS Z-97 P mobo and an i5 4690K CPU that hasn't been overclocked, set under a Hyper 212 Evo cooler.
My PSU is the Keep-Out FX 700 MU. It's not a popular brand but it's rated as 85 plus efficient and I've checked through HWInfo and it sends accurately the proper amount of voltage it should be sending. I've also exhanged this PSU with my other rig's identical one and it still had a BSOD so I'm pretty sure it's not the PSU as the same second one works perfectly on the other rig.
I have a USB mouse, an old LCD monitor connected to my GPU through a VGA to DVI-I adapter and a keyboard that is connected to the motherboard through a classic grey keyboard cable (don't know what it's precisely called).
My PCI slot's clip has also been broken but the GPU sits firmly and works greatly. People have also reassured me that a slightly broken clip cannot be causing a BSOD.
PLEASE, do keep in mind that the other identical rig never faces any BSOD issue.
