Blue Screen 'Stop' Error Windows 7 Pro 64bit

I have a new self build desktop PC, which randomly suffers a Blue Screen message error, otherwise it runs fine. Running on Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

The system encountered an uncorrectable hardware error.
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
 etc. etc.

 STOP:  0X00000124 (0X0000000000000000, 0XFFFFFA80135AD028, 0X00000000BF800000,0X0000000000200401)

Any advice or help appreciated.

Thanks.

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124)

A fatal hardware error has occurred. This fatal error displays data from the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA).

BugCheck 124, {0, fffffa80135b2028, bf800000, 200401}

If we run an !errrec on the 2nd parameter of the bug check (address of the WER structure) we get the following:

===============================================================================
Section 2     : x86/x64 MCA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Descriptor    @ fffffa80135b2138
Section       @ fffffa80135b22c0
Offset        : 664
Length        : 264
Flags         : 0x00000000
Severity      : Fatal

Error         : Internal unclassified (Proc 6 Bank 1)
  Status      : 0xbf80000000200401
  Address     : 0x00000000fee00040
  Misc.       : 0x0000000000000086

Internal unclassified error, which essentially implies that it's not a publicly documented error and must be debugged internally with the proper symbols (Intel's job).

In any case, we can still troubleshoot this ourselves.

------------------------------------------

1. AppleCharger.sys is listed and loaded which is the GIGABYTE On/Off Charge driver. See here for details - http://www.gigabyte.us/MicroSite/185/on-off-charge.htm

Very troublesome software, so please uninstall ASAP! as well as any other GIgabyte crapware. Example: Easy Tools, Easy Tune, etc.

2. Remove and replace Norton with Microsoft Security Essentials for temporary troubleshooting purposes as it may be causing conflicts:

3. Navigate to services.msc and disable the nVidia Streaming Service, then restart the computer.

------------------------------------------

If the above fails, there is only so much you can do with a bug check like this until it comes down to a faulty processor that will need to be replaced. Start from 1 and work downward:

1. Ensure your temperatures are within standard and nothing's overheating. You can use a program such as Speccy if you'd like to monitor temps - http://www.piriform.com/speccy

2. Clear your CMOS (or load optimized BIOS defaults) to ensure there's no improper BIOS setting - http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/clearcmos.htm

3. Ensure your BIOS is up to date.

4. If all of the above fail, the only left to do is replace your processor as it is faulty.
