bp9801 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I have an interesting problem with my laptop, one that I have yet to fully nail down. Over the past six weeks or so, my laptop will decide to crash. I can be using it for several hours and it will crash, or leave it up during the night and come back to the blue screen of death. Sometimes it will crash straight to the blue screen and others just an amalgamation of colors that requires a hard reboot. I can open up a new tab in my browser and be fine, crash soon after opening a tab (within two minutes), or crash immediately after opening a tab. Other times, like I said, I'll leave it on overnight to download something and it will crash. Or not. Extremely random when it occurs. I've updated its video drivers, nothing. Ran CCleaner and cleared up any registry issues, nothing. BlueScreenViewer shows this as the issue: Any ideas on what to do to solve it? It's a Lenovo ThinkPad X120e, with an AMD E-350 processor and 4GB of DDR3. I've had it for about four years now, so it's probably due for an upgrade, just can't exactly afford a new laptop now. If it's an issue of memory, I can do that, as the max supported is 8GB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpikeSoprano Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I always thought the 0124 error was cpu low voltage error, is there any way to bump up the voltage in the bios ? Did you run memtest on it, good place to start, then maybe a hd bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 ^ It seems related to the CPU. 1. Was it connected to a power supply or on battery? 2. What's the CPU temps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I'd run HDTune health test to rule out the harddrive then try the memory (both together or one stick at a time if you have two sticks) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 All the crashes have happened while plugged in. Power Settings were initially at Energy Saver, but I changed it to Balanced last night; crashed a couple hours later. CPU temps are high, up around 66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Time for a repaste/blow out? Maybe it's having some odd thermal throttling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Possibly. I'll have to open it up when I get back to my place tomorrow night as I'm out and about until then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
