This isn't a video driver problem.

Check your BIOS for "Enable 32-Bit Disk Access". If that is off, turn it on. You may have to update your BIOS if the option is not there.

Do you know when the problem started? Was it after installing to Windows 7?

I generally get a 124 BSOD because of overclocking, is that CPU overclocked? or any other hardware for that matter?

IS you memory set correctly? Try setting the specs in the BIOS to the ones the manufacturer has set. Sometimes the BIOS doesnt always do it correctly. IF nothing else you can try a fresh install. Those numbers just seem to remind me of a memory problem for some reason. I hope you installed the old video drivers before installing the new ones as well.

I think I had the same problem, random Bsod's with and without overclock, same software and most of the drivers that I've used on vista and sometimes lagging in games, frame drops from 50 to 20-10.
I used debugger and it showed that was the video card driver same as yours 191.07 Whql, was causing the bsod. I didn't try any other driver besides the beta 195... I don't remember and that was worse :(
Finally I came back to vista and everything is running smooth no errors, no bsods. BTW Microsoft says software from vista should work ok on 7, I can tell you for sure it doesn't, ex: Creative, iRiver; Virtual PC doesn't work on 7 because my cpu does not have virtualization, on vista it worked... and I think there are more.

The hardware is working just fine... im using the same setup from 2-3 years with overclock, it was on stock clocks for ab 1 month , when i installed win7 i didnt want any problems.

Only time I see blue screens on win7 are either bad drivers or due to bad hardware. So you have one or the other.

I've had it with my old 3800 x2 system and was a driver issue. Although MS blamed one of many parts that could be faulty.

So maybe try uninstall \ re install drivers. Cannot tell you the ones it could be but it was the issue in my case.

Same Error

Happy Holidays all,

I wanted to chime in. I have been trying to find a solution to this issue all day long. I bought a new PC and I am getting this same Bccode: 124 Error with Xfire.

System:
Win7 Pro/64 - i7960 - Dual ATI 5890 - SB X Fi - 6GB Corsair - 300GB Raptor - 1000w - Asus P6T SE

Issue:
Install Xfire > Log In > Black Screen > Have to hard Reset to recover system.

Troubleshooting:
I've TS'd per XFires FAQ
I've uninstalled/reinstalled
Disabled Virus/Anti/Firewall
Allowed exceptions via Firewall
Updated all Hardware Drivers
Ran Win Update

I still cannot connect to Xfire. Iim logged in for less than a second before my screen goes black and I have to ctrl-alt-del to recover back to desktop. I have never had this issue before and I am uncertain of how to proceed.
Could someone please offer assistance so I can get back online with my bros! This is driving me nuts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

Blud

IF it were an Intel rig, the 0124 error is known to be a VTT error. Either too much or too little of the amount you are using in the bios.

I am really out of the AMD loop, so I dont know what exactly VTT translates to in an AMD system, sorry.

Do yourself a favor and take all overclocks off the components and see if the BSOD goes away. Sorry to be blunt here....but redo the OC all together if you desire it, as something you are doing with the OC is crashing the system.

New PC, not being overclocked. Besides, all other apps and programs work fine, this is the only issue. Still not resolved.... :(

I've had this 0x0000124 error twice and it's a Hardware or driver issue.

Stop overclocking check your ram i s stable and your HDD's are error free. And you could try reinstalling other drivers for the system.

Thanks for the help guys, but its not a BSOD. When I try to log in, I log in for a split second, then my entire desktop just goes black, as if it were off. Seems like a security feature, but all of my Anti-Spy/Virus/FW are off, so this shouldn't be. I'd post the logs, but I cannot find them.

I'm not overclocking.

if you are not overclocking why do you list a 2.6GHz processor running 3.0GHz?

BSOD is a BSOD and you got it and known it happen at random times. If you think it's due to some software uninstall the software to see if it stops.

I'm running a Intel i7 960 3.2 mhz, not overclocked. I think you're confusing me with another person.

Another thing I just noticed is, After I select "log in" I see a pop-up for a split second that relates to allowing the connection, or allowing it through my firewall. I cant get to it fast enough to select yes, because I get the Black Screen almost instantly.
I have Xfire allowed in my Firewall, I added each .exe manually. Does anyone know how I can get this selected before my Black Screen? I know this must be the issue, but I dont know how to fix it or find the process to allow it. According to my Firewall, its allowed. if so, why am I still getting that pop up?

Thanks again.
