Ever since Win 7 has been installed on the machine it's had this problem. I haven't done a clean install since first installing it though and tbh I'd rather not.

So there's a problem on one of my PCs where the system either hangs/crashes or loads up really slow from resuming in sleep mode. I've had a look at the 'power' options under 'control panel' and have made sure the HDD is set to 'never' spin down as I've read that has usually been the culprit. I've also run a chkdsk to make sure everything is in working order yet the problem persists. Any ideas?

Also one more question; I checked and my processor is within the 3 year warranty period that Intel offer. If I was to contact them would it be best not to tell them it was overclocked? Does that void warranty? Even if I don't mention about the OC can they still find out somehow? Also, if I mention I get the BSOD randomly telling me its a hardware error they may say it could be to do with other components when I actually know its the processor via the minidump. Do I mention this to them?

Thanks for the response. I suspected the CPU would be the problem. You said that the file I provided wasn't a Kernel dump but a minidump. Well is there a different way of selecting a Kernel dump that I'm not aware of? I right-clicked 'My Computer' then 'Properties' and then 'Advanced Settings'. From there I selected 'Startup and Recovery' and from the drop down box there are three options; 'Small memory dump 256kb', Kernel dump', 'complete memory dump'. I obviously selected 'Kernel dump'. Is this not the way I should be doing it?

So had the PC BSOD on me again but I managed to upload a Kernel Dump of it. I did have a look at the dump myself using Windbg but I'd like to know what it all means.

Do you want me to upload the minidump?

Hi, For some reason I get the BSOD stop 0x00000124 error message randomly whether my PC is idle or its nearing 100% usage. From the BSOD this is the full error; stop 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0xfffffa8002a8f038, 0x00000000b2000040, 0x0000000000000800 I've gathered that this means its a hardware related error. I did have my CPU overclocked recently and I think I must have first got the message then but now everything is back at default, stock, auto and yet I still get the error. I ran memtest and memtest86+ for 7 passes each with no errors. So what could it be?
