Laptop Throwing BSOD - WinDBG Output Included!

[Sovereign]

It's a 0x00000124 Uncorrectable Hardware Error. Apologies in advance for the other random cannot-find-file errors; I'm completely new to this. What's going on? I don't know how to read this but I hope someone here does.

it highlights firefox, but i don't know what that has to do with hardware

it seems like vista (probably an update)has a problem with your version of firefox if i had to make a blatant guess

have you booted it up since? (i imagine so)

[Sovereign]

Firefox has not found updates for itself or its plugins for several days preceding the blue screens (the BSOD started yesterday).

I thought 0x00000124 meant that hardware was dying or broken? I have the laptop set to do a full memory dump (instead of kernel) next time it dies; I will run WinDBG on that and post the results when the computer blue screens next.

Trying to play a video, music or a game results in a Stop: 0X00000124 error THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER. This can be resolved by disabling the C1E or CPU Enhanced Halt function in the BIOS. Normally this is found under CPU options.

try that i suppose

[Sovereign]

Doesn't doing that screw up sleep/standby? Also I'm not getting THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER nor am I having problems with games/audio...
