BSOD code 124 during win7 installation

[zphingphong]

I have been stuck with this issue for a few days. I just replace my old HDD with a Mushkin Chronos SSD 120GB. Then, I cannot perform a clean install of win7. In fact, I cannot install any OS, tried win7/8, Fedora and Ubuntu, with both x86 and x64. On win7, I got bsod with code 0x00000124, during the "Expanding Windows File..." process. It can never get pass 6%. Most of the time it go to bsod at about 1%.


These are the fixes I tried, and still nothing:

• ACHI, RAID and Native IDE
• Change to another identical SSD
• Ran MB + RAM test
• I tried to load 3rd party ACHI and RAID drivers, but got an error saying "Installing an unsigned 64-bit device driver is not supported and might result in an unstable Windows installation".
• Flash BIOS

Have no idea what to do next. The only issue I can think of right now is that the SSD isn't compatible with my mainboard. Any other thought?

124 error code is usually memory voltage related,as in not enough

try with only one ram stick installed,then try installing win7

Thanks, man. Though, I doubt that's the issue, because these same mobo/cpu/ram used to be on another power supply that got the same wattage as this one, 500W. Plus, the non-ssd drive works. I will try anyways though.

Thanks!
