BSOD 0x124 GenuineIntel randomly

See if you can find a CPU for swap testing.

So you think CPU is the problem? I can only buy a new one if my current is malfunctioning, I don't have one to swap.

I had a small inclination it might be, purely from researching similar issues relating to this one, One thing i found was apparently the Mobo is telling the CPU theres a power issue( Or vice versa) which is causing the cpu to reset itself eg bsod, Maybe worth reseating the cpu and try that? I know most people dont have a spare cpu sitting around, especially one that fits they're current mobo gen.

Ok, understood. Unfortunatelly I don't have a spare CPU to swap test. Any other software related recommendations that I can try ?

Top on the list are CPU and motherboard.

Software stress tests of hardware components often display pass.
So swap testing is often needed to identify the malfunctioning component.

There is no motherboard test and this is by the process of elimination.

Check Amazon and some computer websites to see their return policy.

Sometimes a friend, neighbor, relative, or a local computer store may have a CPU for swap testing.

Did you ever address the I/O port addressing issue noted earlier in this thread? I assume that you've checked for a BIOS update for your motherboard? Unfortunately, Stop 0x124s are usually always hardware related, however, I do not believe that the issue is related to your processor unless it is an incompatibility issue.

I have the latest BIOS version. Incompatibility shouldn’t be an issue unless Asus were selling a messed up branded tower build.
Do you know how can I/O port addressing issue be fixed?

Btw originally the previous BIOS version was installed, I’ve updated it myself when BSODs started to happen.

There is no way unless ASUS or the manufacturer of the BIOS release a bug fix for it. It isn't unheard of for there to be bugs with the BIOS. There has been a couple of bugcheck cases recently whereby the issue was a firmware bug and the only solution was a patch from the OEM.

The CPU swap helped, as you all suggested. Thank you!

That's great news.

Thanks for the follow up.

You're welcome.
